Person of Interest: Season 3

Excellent

Person of Interest continues to impress in its third season. The show's unique blend of AI-driven surveillance, action, and moral complexity reaches new heights here. The stellar cast, including Jim Caviezel, Michael Emerson, and Taraji P. Henson, delivers consistently strong performances that bring depth to their characters.What I loved:- Intricate plot developments- Character growth and relationships- Balance of episodic stories and overarching narrative- Exploration of AI and privacy themesThis season builds on the foundations laid in the first two, ramping up the stakes and delving deeper into the show's mythology. It's a crucial part of the larger five-season arc, setting up plotlines that will pay off later.While I wish the series could have extended beyond its eventual five seasons, this third installment demonstrates why Person of Interest is such a standout in the realm of intelligent, thought-provoking TV dramas. A must-watch for fans of the series and newcomers alike.

The concept behind this series is the current NSA spying scandal on steroids. "The Machine", built by the quaint Harold Finch (Michael Emerson), allegedly spies on everyone everywhere all the time and "sees everything", which is of course preposterous. Even more preposterous is the premise that, in the case of this show and for dramatically convenient purposes, the "persons of interest" the machine selects as about-to-be victims or perps are confined entirely to New York City, so Harold's solemn declaration that, even though the government declined to do anything about all the "irrelevant" cases the machine identifies, he will is the final link in the absolute absurdity of the basic plot concept. Of course he works in secret and remains a shadowy figure who is sort of the ultimate computer geek.All that notwithstanding (and Finch is superbly played by Emerson), the story-lines and the other main characters - two in particular - make this series quite addictive. First, of course, is Jim Caveizel as John Reese, the action arm and steely avenging angel of Finch's secretive plan to thwart the hinge of fate. His "man in a suit" vigilante character with the husky, whispery voice and lethal fighting skills is irresistible, but the other irresistible character is Taraji Henson's detective Joss Carter who, as a former interrogator for the army in Iraq and Afghanistan, is supposed to be a really tough "hard-ass" that prisoners (and perps) "really don't want to meet". She is never remotely believable as that. What she is, however, is incredibly courageous, effective, and just - the sweetest, kindest, softest, most adorable, and prettiest interrogator/cop any criminal could ever hope to meet and Henson plays her to perfection. On top of everything else that's so appealing about this character, Taraji Henson has the most beautiful skin I've ever seen, as smooth and creamy as warm liquid caramel. Predictably, but unforgivably, the writers have her killed at the end of the third season by Simpson - a dirty cop played with compellingly evil brutality by Robert Burke. Even the normally icy Reese is ultimately pulled in by Carter's gentle magnetism. Having begun by being relentlessly hunted by her, at the end he credits her with having "changed" him and then kisses her - an exquisitely tender moment you know instinctively heralds the end of her character, and sure enough, she is shortly thereafter gunned down in the street along with Reese who survives only to have her die in his arms. Many main characters are killed off in the course of TV series, but the loss of Henson's Carter is somehow devastating and almost literally cuts the heart out of the show. Other characters are likeable, interesting, even admirable; she was the only one who was genuinely lovable.Replacing her female character with the beautiful and extremely deadly but emotionless Samantha Shaw (played by the incredible Sarah Shahi) does not change that lamentable fact. There are so many shadowy groups of bad guys - from the vast dirty cop cabal HR, to the Russian mafia, to criminal empire-builder Elias (Enrico Colantoni) and his henchmen, to the various government groups (FBI, CIA) hunting for Finch, Reese, and the machine, to Root (Amy Acker) who has developed a "special" and "intimate" relationship with the machine, to a new and still mysterious government group headed by the villainous Diane Claypool (Camryn Manheim) - that it becomes difficult to follow (can't tell the players without a program) and somewhat fatiguing, but they are all so interesting and keep the action moving so well that you overlook such absurd overkill in the conspiracy department. Since the show is so good, legions of implausibilities notwithstanding, no doubt the network will cancel it.

There's a lot of things happening in this season. The plot thickens, so to speak.(Contains SPOILERS so proceed at your own risk)DO LIKE:How everything ties together and reaches the apex in this season. It's thrilling and keeps you on the edge of your seat (sometimes literally, in my case) I love episode 16 (RAM) and how a look to the past ties to current events. This season answers a lot of questions and you can see the bigger picture now.DO NOT LIKE:How they kill off a female character just to give the protagonist some more needed man pain. Really? As if Reese is not dark and brooding all the time? Sure let's have him fall for someone (which kind of comes out of nowhere, to be honest) and then take her away. Yes, LET'S MAKE THE AUDIENCE CRY. GOOD.I really like her and sad to see her go, but I feel the romance part was a little forced, to be honest. I think it could've been written better or hinted at a bit more, instead of thrown in at the last moment simply to make the pain to the protagonist more real. All in all, I feel her death was unnecessary.And I'm not personally a fan of 'oh here's a big bad villain but let's show their tragic backstory so we can sympathize with them before we kill them off' plot. I get that not everyone woke up one morning and decided to be a villain, but I feel like it was a bit of an unnecessary exposition.The ending of the season is not a cliffhanger like last season and I'm very happy they didn't always follow the pattern of HAROLD IS ABDUCTED AND REESE IS LOOKING FOR HIM LIKE A FRANTIC DUCKLING cliffhanger (halfway through the season finale I thought the pattern would repeat). Although I still enjoyed S1 and S2 finales very much, it's nice to see variation. The season finale for S3 is a bit bittersweet and I think it's just has the right amount of crisis to keep the audience waiting eagerly. (myself included)All in all a very wonderful season and I can't wait until the next season comes out.

I loved the show, the premise and the principles of the characters. They all showed amazing capabilities in a time when we needed positive heroes in the complex world following 9/11.

it is the perfect dramatized end to a tv series.

super série , j'adore !

Más barato que en Walmart, Soriana u otras tiendas de conveniencia. El precio y tiempo de envío es muy bueno si se aprovecha el envío gratuito.

Amo questo telefilm sin dalla 1' puntata e la terza stagione è la mia preferita! Il cast migliore che si può trovare in televisione (ALL THE AWARDS TO AMY ACKER NOW!) e una crew eccezionale, dai sceneggiatori ai produttori fino ai tecnici del suono. CBS Give Us the Season Five! and Netflix Save our show!
