TV show description:
This crime drama follows a presumed dead former-CIA agent named John Reese (Jim Caviezel) who teams up with a mysterious billionaire, Mr. Finch (Michael Emerson), who’s also believed to be dead. Their goal is to prevent violent crimes by using technology and their own brand of vigilante justice.
Finch is a software genius who has invented a program that uses pattern recognition to identify people who are about to be involved in violent crimes — either the victim or the perpetrator. It was originally built for the government to prevent another 9/11 disaster but found that it was predicting less catastrophic, “irrelevant” crimes. Finch built a “backdoor” into the machine so that, before erasing the “irrelevant” data each night, Finch is sent the social security number of a person about to be involved in a serious crime.
Finch recruits Reese because of his special training in covert operations. Using their combined skills, resources and advanced surveillance technology, they work outside of the law to identify “persons of interest” and stop crimes before they occur.
Reese’s actions draw the attention of the NYPD — including homicide detectives Carter (Taraji P. Henson) and Fusco (Kevin Chapman). The latter is a corrupt cop and Reese blackmails him into being a source of information inside the department.
With infinite crimes to investigate, Reese and Finch find that locating the right person, with the right information, at the right time, can change everything.
Episode #103 — Return 0
Finch, Reese, Fusco and Shaw embark on one last mission to prevent Samaritan from destroying The Machine and cementing its hold over mankind.
First aired: June 21, 2016.

It seems you people haven’t the least bit of idea what a good show is. What a shame to cancel such a spectacular show CBS is on its way down the list of top networks.
We are absolutely Floored that of ALL the shows that the network keeps on, that you would be so foolish as to cancel a show that has an incredible loyal following and gives the audience an intelligent, character developed, fresh plot every week, one has to think about these episodes, use the brain.
Pump the brakes and renew this great show for the Fall.

I agree, please keep the show – I do not understand why ALL of the good shows get cancelled!!! I would much rather KEEP POI and cancel all of the reality shows – Big Brother, Survivor, Amazing Race, etc. Not too mention they always seem to kill off all of the good people – Root. Let’s hope they do not kill off anyone else if they are bound and determined to cancel yet another good show.
I really enjoy watching the show from the first series and will continue to watch the amazing story each episode gets better and better .
It’s one of the best show on TV should continue for years just like star trek and evolve
Please keep the show – I have been constantly amazed at the writing – Just seems to get better and better – If you have to cancel it then wrap it up and don’t leave loose ends
Bring it back! It’s one of the best shows on tv
One of the best shows on TV. Quite disappointed that it is cancelled.
