I am glad to know that my favorite show is going to be continuing for next season! It is such a refreshing show! It is original, suspenseful, well written, great characters and a real treat! POI is one of only four shows I choose to watch a week (the rest are lame), so I would totally upset to lose this quality show. I can’t wait to see what next season brings!
I love this show. It’s one of the best I’ve seen in a while. Please don’t cancel it!
Person of Interest is a fabulous show. I love the actors, the writing and everything about it including the music used on the show. Jim Caviezel and Michael Emerson are fantastic and have great chemistry together on screen. Renew, Renew.
love it–gets better all the time & more intriguing–one of my very favorites
Person of Interest is an amazing show and keeps growing strong. I know so many people who have become huge fans. The cast is absolutely fantastic. Jim Caviezel, Michael Emerson and the rest of the crew just a perfect match . Jim Caviezel is divine and like a magnet! Keep this show alive and going for many more Seasons to come!
I really enjoy Person of Interest. It just keeps getting better. Thanks for that!

Person of Interest is one of the BEST new series on TV, please keep it on!
POI continues to deliver week aFter week. It IIs with out a doubt aFavorite. Tonights was another A plus. I hope the fan base grows. Mr. Reese, a very handsome guy, with a great voice. Michael Preston. The whole cast. Better than any new show. Breaking Bad will always be in a
Class above and beyond any show. While waiting for it to start 5th season POI is a great television show.
Just keeps getting better. Please don’t cancel.
Hooray! Thrilled that Michael’s show is a success. Always a bit of a risk for nets to take a character actor (even a multi Emmy winning one) and give him a lead role on a series. The chemistry of the cast is jelling nicely – I am really liking Lionel too; hope he gets some redemption one day.
Love the show watch it all the time. Wish it was on demand so I could watch over again
This show actually is getting better and better. I was iffy at first, but they’ve upped the action quotient.
Great show. Keep it going. It has improved.
I was not a fan of this show at first and didn’t follow it weekly. But I picked it up again this winter and must say it has gotten better and now tape it to be sure I don’t miss a show. This doesn’t happen often.
