Person of Interest: Pilot



The pilot episode of Person of Interest was premiered last Thursday, and it definitely impressed. The premise is a unique spin on the rehashed-to-death crime drama genre, and the writing is a superb compliment to the phenomenal acting of Michael Emerson and Jim Caviezel as Mr. Finch and John Reese respectively.

The episode itself was surprisingly well-paced and interesting enough for the premiere. Well written dialogue and fast-paced action are blended seamlessly that appeals to a wide-variety of people. Most of the supporting acting was well-done, with the exception of the ridiculous corrupt cop and persecutor. The crime itself in the first episode was fairly boring, but that's expected for it's first time. The series looks to bring an intense paranoia that comes in post-9/11 New York, which is instantly engaging. Plus, the surveillance footage is cool to look at.
