Person Of Interest Complete Season 1 - !!hot!!

The core mechanic of Season 1 is "The Machine." Designed by the reclusive genius Harold Finch (Michael Emerson), The Machine is an artificial intelligence capable of collating every piece of surveillance data in the country—cameras, phones, emails—to predict terrorist attacks. But it also detects ordinary, "irrelevant" violent crimes. The government ignored the irrelevant list, so Finch built a "backdoor" to access the Social Security numbers of people involved in those smaller crimes.

The season follows (Michael Emerson), a reclusive billionaire who built "The Machine" for the government after 9/11 to predict terrorist acts. He eventually discovers the system also identifies "irrelevant" domestic murders—crimes the government ignores. To prevent these, he hires John Reese (Jim Caviezel), a former Green Beret and CIA operative presumed dead, to act as his "field agent". Key Arcs & Development person of interest complete season 1
