FTA-TV Person of Interest

[red+black]

I'm undecided whether this new series will be great or otherwise. Starts September 22 in the US on CBS. Starts soon on the Nine Network in Australia.

Created by Jonathan Nolan (Memento, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises)
Executive producer: J. J. Abrams (Felicity, Alias, Lost, Fringe, Super 8)

Mr. Finch (Michael Emerson), a mysterious billionaire, has developed a computer program that predicts the identity of people connected to violent crimes that will take place in the future. However, the program has its limitations: for example, it cannot predict whether the person will be a victim, perpetrator, or witness, nor can it predict when or where the crime will take place. Unable to stop the crimes on his own, Finch hires John Reese (Jim Caviezel), a former CIA agent who is presumed dead, to help stop the crimes from taking place.

Looks ok

Just started watching the Pilot. I think this will be a pretty good series.

Will report back once I've finished the episode.

 

[mockingbeat]

Really enjoyed it. Thought the 2 leads were great together. Caviezel character is a badass. Loved his action scenes.

 

[alfy!]

Will start watching this after a few episodes, hopefully it develops and is good, as it has potential.

When you throw in some of those names cast and direction surely it can't be bad.

 

[red+black]

Yeah I liked it. Enough violence to keep me interested!

I don't like to watch shows week to week though, far more used to watching a season at a time.

That black cop has big puppies.

 

[happy_eagle]

Solid first episode
Worth sticking with for a while at least

 

[alfy!]

How is Emerson?

Pilot about to air on ch9 in 10 minutes.

That's pretty quick for Australian TV! It screened Friday night in the US.

Really enjoyed it reminded me a bit of The Equalizer.

How is Emerson?

Ben from 'LOST'.

Too much going on in the pilot...should have gone an extra 30 mins.

Should know by Ep 6-8 whether we have a winner.

 

[alfy!]

Ben from 'LOST'.

I know who he is, I was asking how he is.

 

[Saint KFC]

Minority Report, anyone?

 

[Notorious_29]

Anyone seen the first two eps?

Think I'll probably give this a go, being an avid Lost fan.

 

[Fwoy]

I know who he is, I was asking how he is.

He was like Ben from LOST

Anyone seen the first two eps?

Think I'll probably give this a go, being an avid Lost fan.

I'll give it a go... first two eps were ok.

 

[grimface_87]

I like it so far. The second episode was much better than the first

 

[bungalow_bill]

It was interesting to see him get his arse kicked for a change in the 2nd ep,you don't want him to be some unrealistic chuck norris type who always wins the fights

Watched the first episode on Ch10. Quite enjoyed it. Looks like it might be one of those shows that you can drift in and out of (case of the week, etc.) but without being as lightweight/crap as something like CSI.

Probably won't follow it avidly, but will definitely be watching it if I'm at home at the time.

 

[Gasometer]

^Its on Niene.

I might be getting old but it's too fast between scenes. Its like they are trying to cram 60 minutes into 42 minutes.

I found myself starting to rock in my chair half way through Ep2...turned it off and went to bed.

 

[Caesar]

Episode one crammed too much in but I thought episode two was better paced.

I kind of like that they're doing the whole action-action-action thing. It means you don't have to worry about character development too much. Just wham, bam, thank you ma'am and the show's over.

Minority Report, anyone?

I reckon it's got a touch of Quantum Leap about it as well.
