Synopsis:
With a second machine – Samaritan – now online, the members of the elusive team – Reese (Jim Caviezel) and Finch (Michael Emerson), along with lethal operative Shaw (Sarah Shahi), unpredictable cyber-hacker Root (Amy Acker) and homicide detective Fusco (Kevin Chapman) – are now targets themselves, hiding in plain sight. Facing unknown danger, the POI team must find a way to outsmart Samaritan, an all-seeing, all-powerful artificial intelligence that’s self-governing, continually evolving and growing stronger every day. Meanwhile, former enemy Elias (Enrico Colantoni) now becomes a desperate ally in the fight against a new gang known as The Brotherhood.
Following the events of season three, Finch, Reese, Shaw and the rest of our unlikely heroes have been forced into hiding, living subtle lives and working temporary jobs of all sorts. Thanks to new identities provided by the machine, they have thus far managed to stay hidden from Samaritan. Yet when powerful events that can’t be ignored begin to drastically build, the group is forced to hit hard at Samaritan and its human cohorts with everything they have if they are to stand any possibility of protecting the machine from its grasp. Yet they must also continue upholding their temporary identities and the activities required of them if they are to stay off of Samaritan’s radar, their anonymity the only chance they have of gaining the advantage over their foe.
The fourth season of ‘Person of Interest’ elevates things to another level and I would have to say it is also almost certainly the best season of this consistently phenomenal series to date. The concentration on the ongoing story and decision to bring things to a more serialized aspect is one of the best decisions the shows talented team have made and it reflects a great deal in the growth and continually increasing level of breathtaking action and intrigue that is so prominent this season. Even the majority of episodes which may initially appear to have no relation to the bigger picture often pleasantly evolved into a much larger scope and I found myself continually impressed with this season and by the powerful and downright goose bump inducing season finale I was utterly blown away.
