OP
Person of Interest is an action/sci-fi crime thriller created by Jonathan Nolan (co-writer of the Dark Knight Trilogy, yep, the brother to that Christopher Nolan). If you are new to the show, it basically spun off the premise of the crazy amount of surveillance used in that scene in The Dark Knight, where Batman has to locate The Joker. The voice over (as seen above) at the beginning of each episode describes the show very well. This show has some procedural trappings (it's on CBS of course) but don't let that turn you off. This show is CBS's flagship drama and probably the most intelligent, entertaining and satisfying show on television right now (or at least anything on network TV). There are no formal "previously on..."-s for this show, even though it ends up juggling five or more plot threads at once. Each episode is required watching, as there is always backstory or mythology contained everywhere. There are no one-offs that you can simply ignore; at its worst, there is at least something decent going on, or a plot thread or two is moving, if you are not getting drip-fed mythology through flashbacks. Or at the very least the procedural premise is being played with cleverly. But most people will tell you that a third of the way into season one, the show just does not let up, and season two is almost completely strong from start to finish.
