What all of these set pieces do is remind us that this show is more than a surveillance procedural. Its a desperate cry of anguish, coming from people whose lives have been wrecked by secret corruption in government and law enforcement. We need to remember that, because Person of Interest is so unapologetically violent. Our heroes, such as they are, kill and torture with impunity. What sets them apart from somebody like Jack Bauer in the show 24 is that they arent smashing heads because they are blinded by patriotism or some other kind of ideological bullshit. They have gone outside the world of ideology – they are, after all, presumed dead – and they are guided by what we are slowly realizing is a creature of unimpeachable benevolence.
