Season 1, Episode 1
9/10
The rules of the game

This is the first episode of an exceptional series. This introduction shows the basic idea of the machine, that is, the identification of a person who will soon be within a major crime. The genius of the series lies in this uncertainty as to whether the person is the perpetrator or the victim and this offers a multitude of scenarios. However, this is only a tiny part of the story that unfolds over the 5 seasons. The story of the guy in a suit quickly turns into an adventure viewers will not soon forget. This is my third time watching, but I must say that I had hesitated to continue the first time because of a lack of interest in the different stories every episode. I'm so happy I didn't make the mistake of stopping since this series now has a well-deserved place in my top 3. The writing is smart, the subject matter is relevant nowadays, and we recognize the aesthetics and quality associated with Nolan. If Djawadi hadn't proven to us that he was a musical genius by "Game of Thrones", he certainly succeeds with "Person of Interest". For me, season 1 is the worst, but Caviezel and Emerson's acting is more than enough to make us want to continue. In addition, the writing is so good that it sometimes even becomes poetic. The balance between action, humor and drama is perfect for my taste and the combination of the short stories and the main one is very interesting. In short, it's a series that we never tire of watching and which begins with a magnificent pilot.
