Why I chose Person of Interest

The show Person of Interest is a new crime drama on CBS. The reason I picked it was for several different reasons. Everything I've seen about this show from the commercials has made it look as though it has potential to be one of the best shows on television. The premise is unique to the often stale crime drama, in that it seemingly has a major intelligence about it.
It has also been the recipient of some of the biggest hype I've ever seen from any form of media. It's been getting more attention than any other show premiering this season, and probably more than even the most hyped show I remember, Lost. That turned out to be one of the greatest shows of all-time, and I'm hoping Person of Interest has the same, if not more, appeal.
