Person Of Interest: Pretty Darn Good & Worthwhile
25 September 2011
POI pilot: can't much better than justice generally triumphant. It's like the Equalizer meets Burn Notice meets Human Target meets Jack Bauer (but on a local scale) and a hero with Jack Bauer capabilities. Reese, a tortured soul with no family or friends, meets out justice with most of the good people getting saved, some evil guys becoming deliciously dead, others getting non-lethally shot in the leg, and living evils going to jail. Reese does as penance for all of the rough things that he did in his prior CIA/spy employment. The plot twists were involved and unexpected. POI is entertaining and cool. If you enjoy justice/good prevailing, bad guys getting their comeuppance, & the indigent/helpless saved (I do), POI is worth watching.
