Person of Interest Season One


Product Description
Jim Caviezel (The Thin Red Line), Michael Emerson (Lost) and Taraji P. Henson (Hustle & Flow) team up in this thought-provoking crime action drama from The Dark Knight's Jonathan Nolan and J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Productions (Fringe, Lost, Alias).

Set in New York City, this procedural centers on an ex-CIA agent, presumed dead, who partners with a mysterious billionaire to prevent violent crimes. Using data siphoned off the U.S. intelligence agencies' threat matrix -- information not related to terrorism, but rather violent crimes of a personal nature -- during each episode, the former CIA agent and his enigmatic partner identify a "person of interest" and set about solving the mystery of the impending crime.

Tapping into the world's Big Brother-like surveillance network, the shadowy duo knows that something bad is going to happen; it's their mission to discover what that event will be ... and somehow prevent it.

Customer Reviews
Very east to get hooked on this series By Illinois_Mike (Cahokia, Il United States)
Started watching POI about mid season and just knew right away I'd have to get the whole season on DVD and pre-ordered it in April. This is one of those must see programs I anticipate every week. I'm not a TV critic by any stretch of the imagination but this is one of the best to come along in a very long time. The link between the TV program and what's going on in the real world is not a stretch and I think that's one of the reasons it's so compelling. All this and an excellent cast. Check it out, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

At last, an intelligent, creative, superbly acted show that didn't get cancelled like Chicago Code or Firefly. I can only hope it continues for many more seasons.

Outstanding program By Karen H in NC
POI is, by far, one of the best programs on TV for the 2011-2012 season. I was so happy to see the PTB at CBS reup this program for a 2nd season. Fine acting, fine directing, fine writing...this series has it all. Hope to see some Emmys coming their way someday.

Best show of 2011 By Gene P
Person of Interest is by far the most realistic television drama to showcase professional tradecraft; recruitment of assets, use of technology, surveillance skills, firearms usage and combatives. The fights scenes play out as they would in real life "fast and brutal" using violence as a tool. I can't wait for season 2 and for season 1 to come out on DVD!!

Outstanding By LaDonna (Chicago, IL USA)
Definitely the best show that came out for the whole season. Edge of your seat suspense! Can't wait for the next season. Hurry up already!

By far the best show By CBSfreak!!
'Person of Interest' it's almost impossible to explain how GREAT this how is!! every Heart pounding minute, of ever Heart Pounding episode has you on the edge of you're seat. I cannot wait to add Person of interest to my collection and re-watch every episode. I plan on watching the entire season the day I get it!!! Best show ever!!

Amazing Writing and Acting By Writer Gal (Missouri, USA)
My husband and I watched this every night and thank goodness we began with the pilot, otherwise we'd be lost! This is definitely one of those shows you cannot miss a word of dialogue or action! We were thrilled when we heard it was getting good critic reviews and had many fans. And now...we're getting a Season Two! Can't wait to see what other secrets unfold.....Amazing show!

One of the Best By Linda Hoff (Timberville, VA United States)
I have to say this is one of the most well done shows I have come across in a very long time. It's believable but yet wrapped in mystery and just a touch of sci-fi, a perfect combination of action and surprise plots, sadness balanced with humor... I would completely recommend this show to anyone and hope it continues on for a long time to come.

I personally love the humor and the way that whenever there are bumps and bruises that come with life, they don't gloss over it the way nearly all shows do and the characters are walking around with bandages or whatever, whichever suits LOL I can be very critical of Hollywood trained actors who can't do martial arts to save their life but J.C. makes it easy to buy into, and Finch's technology is scarily accurate or will be shortly...

I just really can't think of anything bad with this show! I will be buying both the discs and on Amazon, first chance I get and have watched this season over and over. Buy and enjoy!

Best show ever By Jenny F
Not since Lost have I seen such a great weekly program on TV. Have watched every episode since the pilot and am now happily watching all the reruns. There's so much content, twists and turns in the plot lines that you often pick up some nuance watching the second or even third time that you missed on the first go round. Caviezel's and Emerson's characters are so well crafted, and the two actors play their parts exceptionally well.

There are several of Caviezel's scenes that should be Emmy material. In fact, I'll be stunned if Person of Interest doesn't walk away with several Emmys this year. For newcomers, it really helps to start with the Pilot and watch the episodes in order to catch all that's going on, but even if you haven't watched from the beginning, the show is well worth your time. Love it totally.

One of the best shows ever on TV By Georgia Miller
Although the first episode was a little slow, I kept watching because I love Jim Caviezel and had heard lots of rave reviews about this show. I have never been disappointed. Each episode is better than the previous one. You have to pay attention however. Many plot twists and turns and characters to keep track of. Keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the whole hour. This show is definitely a keeper and I hope CBS keeps it on for years. The writing is fantastic and the acting super.

Person of Interest By Alice
This show is amazing! It has already won the Peoples Choice Award for Best New Drama. I was hooked the very first show. The premise of the show is how 9/11 changed the security measures used to protect the United States. Security cameras now watch us on every street corner. Cellphones and car GPS track our every move.

It is fascinating how the writers draw us in with the paranoia of the governments ability to invade our lives. Jim Caviezel and Michael Emerson are phenomenal in bringing to life their intense yet broken characters and will make you fall in love with both as the season progresses. Gotta buy this DVD and get ready for season two!

Best show By ekko90
This show is by far my favorite show. The dialog is excellent in the scripts they use for each episode. The story that up holds the show is very unique,and daring. I can't wait to purchase this dvd set. I've been waiting for this for a long time!
