US show Person of Interest - Any good?

[telecat]

Then you are familiar with "Samaritan".

[omgus]

But i cannot say anything in case it hears me.

Or in case i have to deal with the scary child it talks through.

[Roo]

Back on channel 5 on 23rd March.

[droopsnoot]

Oh good, I've been watching the re-runs to get into the spirit of it. Still annoyed I didn't notice in time to see S1 Ep1 - I have a fascination with re-waching how things like this begin.

You should see the pilot for Suits. That was absolutely fantastic (IMHO of course)

[droopsnoot]

I bought the DVD of the first series of Suits because I couldn't remember how it started. Held out for ages to get it as cheap as I could, knowing I wouldn't watch all of it. Watched the first one, and realised I pretty much remembered all of it anyway. Is the pilot episode online only? Not sure my bandwidth will cope with it.

[Mr GrimNasty]

First of the new series tonight - it's still good.

[AlexRS2782]

Nice to see them running it back to back with Gotham at the moment - 2 hours of decent tv in one go

[droopsnoot]

This is shaping up well, but I was surprised they seem to have a much more casual attitude to how many people they bring back to the library.

[droopsnoot]

And now it's gone again, presumably while C5 get another series of Big Brother out of their system.

Looks that way. I shall miss Sarah Shahi probably more than I care to admit.

Yeah, it's the same with NCIS NO. When C5 made the announcement the other week for both shows, they said it "will return later in 2015", so no idea of exactly when apart from sometime before the end of the year

I think I'm just going to do what I do with NCIS, NCIS LA, Castle, etc, and just import the DVD from the USA as soon as it's released as that way i'll at least be up to date without having to wait for C5.

The full 3rd series is on Netflix.

[AlexRS2782]

Noticed earlier that new (to the UK on terrestrial) Series 3 episodes have popped back up on the EPG to start again from next Thursday at 10PM on C5.

They seem to have brought it back much earlier from its break than as it was originally meant to be later this year. Good news for those of us who aren't as far forward as the US broadcasts I guess

[bexVN]

Excellent series but give it a chance as appears formulaic to start with but it's been cleverly written and eventually back stories come to a front and you realise there is nothing formulaic in the writing or the characters at all!

Imdb gives fantastic ratings, one episode we've just seen got 9.8! And we could see why.

[Mr GrimNasty]

You'd miss out on half the fun if you haven't seen it all from day one.

There are so many old convoluted sporadically returning plot lines and character additions and developments.

Back on C5 last night at 10pm. Or 5+24 if you missed it.

It's also repeated on 5USA.

[Ace-T]

Well, gosh. Just watched the latest episode. It is only half way through the series and what a shocker.

It is on Demand 5 too for those who haven't watched it yet.

[dxg]

It's so, so good. Watched everything that's available on Netflix - up to the end of Season 3.

Season 3 is so much better than the last two. Two long story arcs, with only a few procedural episodes.

The show's premise was always good. It became fantastic when Amy Acker's character became central to it....

Although the whole idea of two competing AIs is straight out of Neuromancer...

Where is terrestrial TV at?
