Chris' Review - Person of Interest

"You are being watched. The government has a secret system: a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I know, because I built it. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror, but it sees everything. Violent crimes involving ordinary people; people like you. Crimes the government considered 'irrelevant'. They wouldn't act, so I decided I would. But I needed a partner, someone with the skills to intervene. Hunted by the authorities, we work in secret. You'll never find us, but victim or perpetrator, if your number's up... we'll find you"

- Opening Voiceover by Harold Finch -

Person of Interest revolves around a presumed dead, former Green Beret and CIA agent, John Reese recruited by a mysterious billionaire Harold Finch to prevent crimes using their own brand of justice. Reese's training from the military & CIA appeals to Finch, who invented a computer system that uses pattern recognition to identify people who were going to be involved in an imminent crime. Using Reese's skills and Finch's unlimited wealth, the two find that with the right information, the right person at the right time can change everything.
