Always Watching I: Person of Interest – Pilot

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. Beneath the unique grounded sci-fi premise of stopping violent crimes right on time and the fantastic action scenes, it discusses deep topics like AI ethics, right versus wrong, and privacy versus security in a way that every side of those topics is heard, not just one.

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.
