Nearly five years ago I began a journey. You might not think of watching a television show as a journey, but if a show has a compelling story, you might.
Such was with Person of Interest, created by Jonathan Nolan, noted for screenwriting on The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar, and for the short story "Memento Mori" which was turned into the movie Memento.
Person of Interest starts fairly episodic, then dives into lengthy story arcs around the Machine, a government surveillance system that has also been turned to good purpose by our protagonists.
There's really not much more to say except that it worked, despite the technical overreach typical of TV crime shows, and I recommend it.
