Person of Interest

[nny]

i've started watching Person of Interest and I'm rather enjoying it, even with Jim Caviezel's slightly stilted acting and the excessive ADR. Harold Finch is a seriously interesting character, I like the slow drip of detail, it's well done, subtle. Which is enough to keep me interested, for the moment. The dialogue is hella clunky, though. I hope that cleans up over time.

anyone else seen?

I've seen a bunch of the first season, thanks to Vonnie, and it seemed suuuper old school slashtastic - mostly in a good way?

I'm not sure if I'm interested in the slashy side of the force to be honest. I'll see how it evolves. I'll probably get there eventually. It's fun, the intelligent side of mindless, it's good for knitting terribly to.

I'm so tired st the moment I just need to fill my time with something vaguely involving :D

I HAVE. The dialogue never gets good (neither does Caviezel's acting), but it becomes marginally less terrible after a season or so.

In fact, I'd say S1 is not at all illustrative of the show as a whole, given that it sneakily begins to change genre on you in season 2, then EXPLODES into something else entirely in season 3. At which point it abandons any pretense that it's anything other than chaotic-good science fiction, whacks you across the face with feelings, commits to subverting every character archetype it's set up so far, and doesn't look back. I love it a whole lot. A WHOLE LOT.

Thanks so much for the comment and I'm sorry it took me so long to respond!

This sounds utterly delightful! I'm really enjoying it so far - I've just got to the episode in which Finch steals a baby, and I'm desperately enjoying their helpless flailing in the direction of personhood. :D
