I don't get Person of Interest, but I started watching pretty late on in the season, relatively speaking. I can barely get through the mangst to the weekly plot.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think the mangst may be the weekly plot.

now Action Hero Steve as portrayed by Alex O'Loughlin in a not-bad American accent.
I did not know he was not American. Go him with the accent. I don't watch it much anymore, but I do love Dano, and, damn, they are pretty.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I love Person of Interest. It is not a good show, but I cannot look away. Ben Linus as a freedom fighter? Cannot get enough of that shit. James Jesus whispering for an hour? Weirdly compelling.
I have watched every episode and I plan to watch more!

Oh, yeah, I'm probably hypersensitive, but I needed a 9/11 alert for the PoI pilot...
And, seriously, the backstory is making the mangst worse, not more understandable. I think Jim C is so psycho looking I don't get how he could be an agent.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I don't recall any innocents getting killed on Person of Interest. At least not by Reese. I like the show. Not really seeing any mangst, myself; neither of those characters are looking for any sympathy. They both basically see themselves as already dead. No woobies there, thank goodness.

Not really seeing any mangst
"I let 9/11 happen because I was so wrapped up in myself...I must sacrifice all happiness to save one person at a time forever more..."
"My girlfriend died when I was saving lives halfway across the universe so I became a homeless man with the world's worst beard, woe is me, no one understands my pain..."
Ugh, I find it quite gross. I watched the requisite three eps and I'm out. The acting is too melodramatic for me, not convincing nor charismatic.

I watched the first few episodes, mostly because there was nothing else on. Then Bones started and I'm giving it a pass. (However, I still admire Jim Caveziel's cheekbones.)
