Always Watching I: Person of Interest: Pilot (Season 1, Episode 1)

Person of Interest (a sci-fi crime drama series that ran from September 22, 2011 to June 21, 2026) is simply my favorite show of all time.

Every great story starts with a great beginning, and Person of Interest’s first episode, “Pilot”, establishes the main mission of the two main characters and the ones they are up against. Let me start the new blog series, Always Watching, by analyzing the episode that started it all.

It’s a video so memorably epic that I always remember it when I drink black coffee (or any caffeinated drink, for that matter).

I’m talking about the video titled “Dave Grohl in FRESH POTS!”
