An Excellent and Unorthodox crime series with complex characters who continue to grow as the series morphs from drama to mystery, in an ever evolving definition of good, evil, and the spaces between.

This was the start of it all. A great show with a awesome cast. You could not ask for a better procedural show than this. Get ready for some twists as the show goes on...

at first I was a little unsure about the whole concept of the MACHINE but the show is wonderfully written and the acting is top notch.

I had little knowledge of the first season, because I had not started watching "Person of Interest" until the second season. Having the DVD of the first season, it was great to watch and get some questions answered as to how Finch and Reese's relationship began. The development of the plot structure where the machine senses acts of possible terror is intriguing, especially how the writers developed this early on in the series. The production does a very creditable job of developing the uneasy relationship between Fusco and Carter. Very good is Fusco returning to "good cop" status, as Carter's partner (arranged by Reese undercover), and then in another plot twist, being requested by Reese to go back to working with the "trash cops" life he thought he had left behind Reese's knowledge and use of offensive and defensive arts is instructive and entertaining. Good plot usage of times when Reese and Finch are temporarily foiled due to human error. The humor is well placed in all of the episodes, as is the buildup to suspense. Proverbs 3, vs. 5 - 6

Exciting, thoughtful & a little scary look at the weaponization of modern information technology. Definitely 'Robin Hood' theme, with the good guys working outside the law for justice. The two male leads are extremely easy on the eyes, and can act, as well! The only drawback is the use (several times each episode) of computer screen readouts, often overlapping, meant to emphasize the techy, but somewhat hard on the eyes. Still, I plan to buy the other seasons 'cause I'm caught up in the plot!
