It would be easier to exaggerate when it comes to futuristic technology but Person of Interest remained significant and accurate, especially on how computers function. A number of sci-fi shows already entertained us with their own display of modern technology, but Person of Interest made all things right and acceptable to its viewers. Yeah, they really made their homework.
June 22, the 13th episode, which is also the last episode, ended the show after 5 years of dark sci-fi entertainment. Fans will surely miss the caliber that they brought to TV but they left two artificial intelligences. They named it the ethical Machine and the ruthless Samaritan. With that, the show did not just left us with 103 episodes but a glimpse of a more complicated and powerful future of technology. Well, we guess they are telling us that we cannot just hide our tools and gadgets under the basement because it has a bright future. We are also reminded that these are made for good motives and justice. Sorry bad guys, these stuff should not be on your hands.
What makes Person of Interest more engaging is their take to address up-to-date issues in technology, security, and politics, three of the most important aspects on how we move forward in this modern world. The show talks about actual technologies, equipment, and dilemmas but subtle enough not to give us the easy answers. The main problem that this show presents is control over machines. Someone is still responsible with this stuff and whatever happens depends on a decision. Knowing their power and possibilities, there is always a question of good and evil in our minds. What are we going to do with them? That would be the biggest question that show brings. Do we help people with these tools in order to improve life and uphold justice or do we use them for our personal gains. Those questions will surely stir your imagination and will always want you to turn that TV.
If you haven't watch this show or wants to rewatch it, you can get the full 5 seasons here. We will updates this post ASAP.
