Ten great episodes in to their best new US TV purchase in quite a while, FIVE unceremoniously and unexpectedly pulled a mid-season plug on Jonathan Nolan’s excellent, high quality techno vigilante action thriller, and then said it would be back sometime in the new year! Thankfully, it recommences from this Sunday 27th January, and, I have to say that, in retrospect, it was a fine cliff-hanger point to end it, what with the mysterious ex-CIA agent “John Reese” (Jim Caviezel, certainly proving himself worthy of being the next James Bond-if only he wasn’t American!) being critically wounded by an assassin’s bullet shot and rescued in the nick of time by the always excellent Michael Emerson, bringing a mysterious and tightly controlled aura to his performance as Reese’s underground paymaster and master of the worlds surveillance technologies, Finch.
Back in action for the next episode, Reese and Finch have new potential victims of the future predicting system to either save or stop (including DEXTER’s David Zayas, ALPHAS Malik Yoba, DOLLHOUSE’s Amy Acker and 24’s Sarah Wynter), whilst the secrets of the duo’s slowly flashback emerging past continue to resonate and have consequences for them and all whose paths are interconnected, including pursuant lady cop Joss Carter (Taraji P. Henson), who seems to be more aligned with their cause with each passing episode investigation.

Expect PERSON OF INTEREST to continue cementing its reputation as one of the best new glossy action adventure series in a while, bringing technological sophistication (both format and visualisation), big-budget looking action and old style heroics.
