TV Preview: PERSON OF INTEREST Channel 5 Tuesday's at 10pm

Finally, its here, hit US TV action drama Person of Interest is due to start on UK’s Channel 5 this Tuesday, August 14^th. Haven’t heard of the show? Then take a look at the trailer I have for you here and let me take you through some of the twists and turns you can expect from this brilliant show. First off take a look at the trailer to wet your appetite and then we’ll get talking below.

So, first off I should mention that Person of Interest is a J.J Abrams production, he’s the guy responsible for shows like Lost and Alcatraz, although the second is probably not the best example to give believe me when I tell you that Person of Interest is way better than Alcatraz and after 23 episodes in the first season I’m currently sitting with bated breath for the second to start on US network CBS. Second to Abrams being involved in the production, some brilliant writers also align themselves with this show including Jonathan Nolan, one of the men responsible for the latest series of Dark Knight movies, now you just can’t get any better than that.

I will be totally honest and upfront with you here and say that Person of Interest probably won’t grab your attention immediately, although the “Pilot” episode is very intriguing, the second episode doesn’t really do that much, but believe me when I tell you that the show is well worth your full attention and when you’ve seen the third episode “Mission Creep” you will be hooked just like me.

Person of Interest is the story of John Reese (Jim Cavizel) a former military man who is now walking civvy street, he gave up everything he loved for his job and is now left homeless attempting to drink himself to death, that is until he is arrested for kicking some young punks asses on the New York metro system. His arrest sparks a web of mystery among the police especially when he is bailed out by an anonymous party. That anonymous party is reclusive billionaire businessman Harold Finch (Michael Emerson, Ben in Lost). Mr Finch is a computer genius and has devised a program which detects that people (within the confines of New York City) who are going to become involved in bad situations, problem is he doesn’t know in what way they will be involved be it perpetrator, victim or witness, now he needs the help of someone who is an expert in the field of surveillance that can find out the truth and prevent the incident from happening, cue John Reese.

I’m saying no more than that because it will only give away to much and you honestly don’t want me to do that, I reviewed every single episode of the first season with the exception of episode 8 named “Foe”, I will catch up with that review when the episode airs here in the UK, I did watch it but don’t remember what happened. Now if your new to the show and your going to be watching then make sure you come back here to Movies Music & Television, more specifically this page (bookmark it) because below is a link to every review that has been done, please feel free to comment and give me your opinion.
