Nine Reasons to Watch Person of Interest

Hey, tonight there's a repeat episode of Person of Interest, so if you haven't been watching, you have time to try it (and do some catching up if you want) before the next new episode.

( Recruitment post! )

I wouldn't say this is the best show ever, nor would I claim that it has a startling originality, but so far I'm finding it entertaining, and I'm pleased at how few of the tropes are the kind that really annoy me. Keep in mind that I have a high tolerance for implausibility and plot holes, though.

Tonight's repeat episode is 1.08 "Foe". It's not bad; a bit cliché but the themes worked well and I really liked one of the characters introduced in the flashbacks. If you can't watch 1.08, you might go online and take a look at episode 1.11 "Super". It's an homage to the Hitchcock fim Rear Window, and it works well as an introduction because a lot of the pieces are in place. The CBS website has it online for free for the US audience. ( spoilers in case you jump straight to 1.11 )

Okay, I think that's it. Give it a try. Then you could read my weekly posts. They include exciting things like random capitalization of Important Things and repeated use of the phrase dun dun DUN when there's yet another plot twist.
