Person of Interest - Summary

After three episodes of the wildly anticipated Person of Interest, I can't seem to get a good grasp of the show. The action is great, but this isn't built as an action show. The dialogue can get a bit preachy at times, and Reese is a one-dimnesional character who isn't very interesting to listen to. Finch is the saving grace of the show, but even he feels stale. The past episode gave me some great hope, though, in the form of M. Elias, who seems like he will be the major antagonist of the series for a while. The show needs to stop holding its viewers hands (it is supposed to be an intellectual drama), and let people figure things out for themselves. I will continue to watch it, as I'm still interested in where the series will go, and it still has great potential overall.
