Praise for Person of Interest

It took me a while to get into the show Person of Interest but I am now a huge fan.  I knew I had to give the show a try since it is another J.J. Abrams production and I usually love his creations.  Undercovers from last season was a big disappointment though so when it took me a while to get into this one I was afraid it was because it would be another bomb.  It turns out it just needed a few episodes to get the characters established.  Jim Caviezel is perfect in the role of John Reese, ex-CIA operative who is presumed dead.  He is lethal to those who deserve it and protective of the innocent.  Finch, played by Lost's Michael Emerson, took me a while to get used to.  As I was a huge Lost fan, it was difficult at first not to see him as Ben every time his face appeared onscreen.  Now, however, he is transforming into the character of Finch before my eyes.  Making Detective Carter a more essential part of the team has added a nice element to the story and the flashbacks of Reese with his former girlfriend make him more human and vulnerable to the viewer.  The only thing I don't like is that the show is not available on iTunes, such a bummer.
