‘Fallout’ EP’s 5-Part Sci-Fi Thriller Is Officially a Sudden Streaming Hit 10 Years Later
Person of Interest, the CBS drama created by Jonathan Nolan, is reportedly finding new streaming audiences a decade after its finale. The series is being rediscovered for its depiction of artificial intelligence, mass surveillance and the ethical questions surrounding predictive technology, themes that now feel more relevant than when it began in 2011.
The show follows presumed-dead former CIA operative John Reese and billionaire programmer Harold Finch, whose software identifies people connected to future violent crimes in New York. Initially structured as a crime procedural, it developed into a science-fiction drama across five seasons, starring Jim Caviezel, Michael Emerson, Taraji P. Henson, Kevin Chapman, Sarah Shahi and Amy Acker.
