recommend streaming Person of Interest. It has been on HBO Max.
It's a mix of crime/police show with an interesting twist, and increasingly with the SAI component (as we get to the end if S1) over 4 seasons of 21 eps, and one last one of 13 eps. Every season it gets ratcheded up. They also "predicted" Edward Snowdend by months
A reclusive billionaire gets a social security number from the government servalance computer that he originally built. He and his assistant must first figure out; perpetrator, or potential victim. These numbers/person's are considered "irrelevant" by the government.
Meanwhile this same computer is giving our government
the relevant numbers of potential terrorists.
How did this SAI computer (one spoiler - and potential non humanistic rival) come about? Who is this billionaire? Who is his assistant? How do the cops get involved? Can a bad cop go straight? Why are The Feds after them? And who each week is the victim, or perpetrator?
A superb cast: Michael Emmerson, Taraji P Henson, Jim Caviezel, Kevin Chapman, Amy Acker, Enrico Colantoni, Sara Shahi, John Nolan, and Winston Duke. There are other great villians, heroes and everyday people in the show as well.
There are great twist, and turns, wonderful song selections, and original score. Humor, too, along with the drama.
NYC fans take note; it takes place mostly in NYC. 👍🧡
And unlike us original viewers you won't have to wait on the edge of your seat for the next season for 3 months! 😜
No, I don't get any residuals, but I sure wish I could have been in this one particular scene near the end of the series! 😁 It's just that superb a show!

(66,462 posts)I never watched it. Right-wing Christian loon Jim Caviezel played the lead. That turned me right off the show. He's from right around where I live, and probably the only fictional character in TV history to pronounce the name 'Puyallup' correctly.

A couple of exceptions are cousins whom I love from waaaay back who don't get into it.

They work with the ?San Diego PF. The uptight dectectve, and the woman head captain.
That one?
Funny show! 😄👍
