All of Person of Interest Ranked
by skwunk | created - 11 May 2020 | updated - 29 Sep 2021 | PublicSeasons Ranked:
3: 10/10, Not every episode is a 10 obviously but that isn't really how I rate seasons, and this is my favourite season of any show.
4: 9/10, The first half is honestly about as good as season 3, has an incredibly distinct atmosphere and tone, it just has some understandable pacing issues in the second half.
5: 9/10, If you went by my average episode rating, this season is probably number 1, even with that, I'm probably being generous with a 9/10 considering some of the issues of this season, I just love how it ends so much, and 3 of the first 4 episodes are absolute bangers. Just wish they got a full season.
2: 9/10, Hard to rate this season, because the first half is possibly the biggest slog to get through of the show, but the second half is almost perfection. With episodes like Zero Day, Relevance, God Mode, Prisoner's Dilemma and Dead Reckoning, this season could honestly be ranked higher, but I love every season of this show and as you can see from my ratings, 4, 5 and 2 are remarkably close.
1: 8/10, An 8/10 may be a little generous with how I usually rate stuff, but I have so much nostalgia for this season and there is a lot of legitimately great stuff. The first half has a lot of over produced network filler (that is much more entertaining than most media fitting that description) and the show was obviously still finding its footing. However, from "Super" onwards this seasons quality isn't that far off the remaining seasons, and the last 3 episodes are pretty close to the best the show ever did.
