Fans are calling the binge-worthy thriller ‘a really intriguing premise with a perfect acting duo’
More than 100 episodes aired as the series was hailed ‘one of the top 5 shows of all time’.
Devotees of sci-fi and nail-biting thrillers are set for a real treat as Netflix has just welcomed a 2011 gem into its vast catalogue.
Over 100 episodes of the crime drama originally broadcast on CBS, with the narrative centring on an enigmatic, reclusive billionaire computer programmer.
Michael Emerson portrays Harold Finch, who created a sophisticated computer programme for the federal government dubbed the Machine. The system was able to forecast terrorist attacks and identify those plotting them.
Person of Interest proved enormously successful upon its debut and was hailed by numerous critics as the finest science fiction series on broadcast television.
Enthusiasts have flocked to Rotten Tomatoes to express their views and encourage others to watch, with Matt B declaring: “Person of Interest is the best show ever.”
He continued: “Great characters: Finch is top-notch great and Michael Emerson absolutely pulls off each scene with excellence. John Reese – Jim Caviezel is flawless and awesome. Fusco – Kevin Chapman balances the show and is also a great actor!”.
Zoran I remarked: “Absolutely thrilling show that showcases the incredible impact of AI on everyone!”.
Michelle H stated: “This is a superb show and binge-worthy. We had not seen it when it was originally released but only recently caught up with the series via Amazon Prime.”
One viewer remarked: “We find the idea very compelling and the plotting excellent, not to mention the actors who are perfectly cast. It keeps you wanting to know more- from the big-picture stories that move the series forward to each episode where the characters work to help save doomed souls. We need more of these types of series.”
Zack R simply declared: “Easily in the top 5 shows of ALL TIME!”
J noted: “Give it an episode or two and you will be hooked. A really intriguing premise with a perfect acting duo for Reese and Finch.”
Elijah A praised: “Phenomenal: well-made, well-acted, powerfully scored, with profound and timely themes. Very thrilling and touching.”
The critically lauded programme claimed the 2012 People’s Choice Award for Favourite New TV Drama and the 2016 People’s Choice Award for Favourite TV Crime Drama.
Screen Rant revealed the show concluded because it wasn’t commercially viable enough for CBS, as the majority of advertising revenue was directed to Warner Bros, which held the rights to the programme.
The creators of the series, which attracted millions of viewers with each instalment, had been informed beforehand that the show would likely finish after five seasons, allowing them to craft a satisfying finale.
Person of Interest is on Netflix.
