Anyone catch 'Person of Interest'.

Post by RangerWT »

Anyone watch this show. I thought it was OK. One thing I thought was funny was the good guy lecturing the bad guy for holding his pistol sideways, gangsta style. The other good guy said in another scene that he didn't really like guns, but if someone was going to have guns, he wanted it to be him.

Interesting twist to the vigilante type show like The Equalizer of the 80s. Characters were good, plot twist was interesting and both lines caused me to crack up. Slightly anti-government in sentiment so far. I'll probably watch it more.

I caught it... it has potential. The pilot was a little rough, but Jim Caviezel is good (he's a conservative, catholic, hunter and shooter; from rural northeastern Washington by the way), and the writing shows real promise.

Oh and the show was co-created by a moderate/conservative catholic (Jonathan Nolan, Christopher Nolans brother) and a liberal (J.J. Abrams) known for producing good conservative and libertarian characters.

I watched all episodes and have enjoyed them...I like the twists where the "person of Interest" is the bad guy instead of the target.

I've programed the DVR to record it.

Some other shows of note that I've been watching:
Forgettable starring Poppy Montgomery (a stunning redhead)

Body of Proof starring Dana Delany

Prime Suspect starring Maria Bello
