The Case of the Gimmicky Detective

Person of Interest (CBS, Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET), also begins with a voice-over introduction from Mr. Finch, a mysterious billionaire played by Lost?s Michael Emerson. (It says something about Emerson?s talent for playing the sort of creepy character always associated with the adjective mysterious that I have a sense of his Lost persona even though I?ve never seen that show.) ?You are being watched,? he begins. ?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.?
