Featured review
Underused Big Brother fascinating concept, not intriguing enough and only decent episodic story but still entertaining, promising and Caviezel + Emerson = Winning combo
Sadly this episode didn't live up to my expectations. My major complain would be that it was less funny than the pilot when its humor is one of the elements that convinced me the most. John's attitude is still bold and Jim Caviezel's performance is excellent but I missed the gag with the young gangster for instance. There were a few funny scenes but it wasn't enough to balance the overall too serious vibe. The cat and mouse game between John and Mr. Finch was entertaining but the episodic plot was only decent and not original nor linked to the Machine arc. I also found the cop investigation subplot boring considering how much it has already been overused by far too many other shows. Moreover I find the whole surveillance camera concept slightly dated. Wouldn't it more modern to use social networks too ? Still the few minutes dedicated to Big Brother were interesting because we all know it's possible to track people using their cellphones. Moreover the numerous animations to illustrate Mr. Finch's explanations and the constant reminders that the Machine watches them made things more realistic. I'll never play Kinect again nor video chat. Technology is pure evil. Seriously an exciting thing about the show is that it tends to make you a little paranoiac and realizing it is quite funny. However with all the security issues and threats covered in the news it's hard to trust anyone these days. The Playstation Network was hacked, spams are everywhere and recently a website named Copwatch was launched in France to track the police ! For the moment it's hosted by a North American company so it will probably take them weeks to shut it down. It leads us to the Machine again because learning more about it was interesting but I want more. Terrorists could hack it to search and kill powerful individuals for instance. What about a Dr Hyde trying to destroy it ? Give us something fresh, intriguing and twisted to support the episodic format. To sum things up they better step up their game next time or I will definitely give up on Person of Interest. It would be sad because its concept could be fascinating if it was properly executed.
