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.

Love this show since it first started, i watch it with my son, he also really loves it, will now miss it very much, definately is on of our favourites.
You always manage to cancel the best shows for all this junk nobody wants to watch. Person of Interest was a great show. Whoever cancelled it has very poor judgement. Oh, and your new show ‘Brain Dead’ sucks!
Wonderful show, I vote for and would watch much more!
You need to bri g it back. Its one of the shows that i am looking foward watching it every week. Pls. Bring it back. Its a very interesting and very educating show.
My favorite TV show was cancelled. Why? Because it was too thought provoking and real. I do hope prime time brings it back for one more shot.
A great show and vivid plot to keep my interest even with cancelling this plot twister.
I think that they made a mistake cancelling this show.I started watching it on netflix and I was hooked.Now I find out they cancelled it please bring it back!
I think with a newer cast they can revive the plot and expand it by going to a nationwide team of rescuers saving irrelevant s everywhere while keeping under the radar from the police and the government.
I started watching the show in reruns. I really liked what I saw. I wish they hadn’t cancelled it. Give it another try.
Huge mistake to cancel this show. What a wild ride those 4.5 seasons were. Very sad to see it go.
I loved the show so much I will be in mourning for a while.
IT was one of the cleanest shows on tv till they had the kissing scene with the 2 girls.
I loved the show there is nothing on now that will ever replace it CBS is making a big mistake.
A shame they cancelled such a terrific show. Always left me sitting on the edge of my seat. With government snooping into our private lives, it presents as very realistic, well beyond 1984!!
I love it….. just started watching in on Netflix so I’m still enjoying it.
My family loved this show. We used it as an opportunity for the family to gather as a bonding experience each week which is Not easy to do with teenagers now a days.
I HOPE THE NETWORK WILL RECONSIDER AND RENEW THE SHOW. THE WAY IT ENDED LEFT THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO.
IT IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON AIR.
