This show definitely peaked my interest awhile back. I loved Michael Emerson in Lost. I picked up the first season awhile back and now getting into it.
This pilot of POI definitely intrigued me. To sum it up with no spoilers: A special ops type military guy teams up with a very rich man to stop bad things from happening such as murders, kidnappings et cetera. The first episode had a little bit of action. The main character Reese (played by Jim Caviezel) can definitely fight his way out of tough spots and can handle a firearm.
Finch (played by Michael Emerson) is mysterious. We don't know much about his past yet but I'm anxious to find out more in upcoming episodes.
We'll definitely learn more about The Machine as time goes on. I'm in this for the long haul.
