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.
What do you think? Do you like the Person of Interest TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a sixth season?

Person of Interest should be renewed. I love to follow Jim Caviezel as he is s great actor! The Show’s story line was quite different than anything on TV. I was also sorry to see The a Mentalist go. You have lost some great shows.
Reece was a perfect role for Jim Caviezel and you are right about him being a great actor. In “The Thin Red Line” he stole every scene he was in in.
If you have a chance, watch “The Prisoner” in which he stars along with Ian McKellen. Apparently McKellen wanted Caviezel to play Number 6. In “The Stoning of Soraya M” Caviezel plays Sabjeham and you would think that he spoke Farsi all his life.
Please bring back Person of Interest. They’re aren’t many good shows on anymore.
Person of Interest should be renewed.this show is an awesome series.There is still time for CBS or a cable channel don’ let go of these fantastic show Please Renew!!!!!!!!!!
it is a good show. They should not have cancelled it. Been following it for years.
This was the best series on T.V.! I am very disappointed in it’s cancelation.
Shows die alone, but if they had an impact on at least one person, can it be they did not really die?
No it should not have been cancelled
good show wish it was not cancled
Why was the show canceled it is one of the better showes. It should be renewed.
I followed Person of Interest religiously. It wasn’t your run of the mill series. Finally something to watch that ended with a persons salvation and characters that simply helped another human being. For the greater good of mankind. Didn’t like the series ending. Hoped after conquering Samaritan each would part and walk off happy. Great cast and unique story line each week. Very sorry to see it end.!
Sad to see the best show being cancelled. Very disappointed they’re giving up after only 5 seasons.
A VERY bizarre ending
This show is so much different than many other shows of its genre and is hands down one of the best series I have seen to date. It would be great if this show could stay on.
This show was a show that could have gone on for a couple more great seasons,like burn notice. People look forward to watching the excitement and now what ? The way these corporate people think really should be the ones looking for jobs because whatever they decided makes people not want to watch shows sometimes ,just because of this reason…. burn notice was another show and there comments made me feel like a smuck because i dedicated 7 yrs to a show at there highest ratings cancel it why? Because it’s better to go out with a bang when they… Read more »
