I'm an old guy, seen a lot of TV series. This is the best I've come across, excellent actors, excellent writers, excellent camera work, excellent sound, etc.
But what makes it great is the sustained excellence of the scripts. The only thing that comes close is "Babylon 5" from the mid 1990s. But the suits screwed up the end of the arcs for Bab5 by not telling Straczynski when they were going to end it. So he had no real chance to end the series properly.
Not the case with Person of Interest. The last three eps. taken together as the end of the series are just amazing.
Thank goodness for a series that doesn't treat it's audience as if they are a bunch of unthinking 14 year old boys.
