Person of Interest is an American
science fiction crime drama television series created for CBS by
Jonathan Nolan, who serves as an executive producer alongside J.J.
Abrams, Bryan Burk, and Greg Plageman. The series stars Jim Caviezel as
John Reese, a presumed dead former CIA agent who is approached by a
mysterious billionaire named Harold Finch (Michael Emerson) to prevent
violent crimes before they happen by using an advanced surveillance
system dubbed "The Machine". Their unique brand of vigilante justice
attracts the attention of two NYPD officers, Joss Carter (Taraji P.
Henson) and Lionel Fusco (Kevin Chapman), whom Reese uses to his
advantage as he investigates persons of interest. Reese and Finch are
later aided by Samantha "Root" Groves (Amy Acker), a highly intelligent
computer hacker and contract killer who the Machine later identifies as
its "analog interface" and Sameen Shaw (Sarah Shahi), a former ISA
assassin who unknowingly dealt with the "relevant" numbers found by the
Machine.
