If you only ever saw the promo spots on commercial breaks of another show - you would likely conclude this is a terrible show. Far from it. Poorly promoted, amazing show! One of my all-time favorites now.
A man in a suit helps people in need while beating the living daylights out of a lot of bad guys. His helpers include a computer-wiz millionaire with a limp, an artificial intelligence that likes to use the phone, a crooked cop who turns good, a female assassin who can tie me up any time she likes and there's even a dog. This series deserved to be far bigger than it was.

For years, the Person of Interest team have been protected by The Machine, but as worlds collided and a rival AI known as Samaritan finally cornered The Machine inside the nation’s power grid, it was the POI team’s turn to protect Finch’s creation. In season five, the cold war is over. The world around us might look the same, but something has drastically changed. Samaritan’s lethal “correction” has initiated its control. Finch’s Machine is essentially dead. Shaw is still missing. And the team is once again hiding in plain sight. But with Samaritan’s invisible grip tightening everywhere, will Finch be able to rebuild and resurrect The Machine? And if he does, will it be the same Machine when it comes back online?
