Person of Interest: Proteus (2013)

3/10
Disappointing Writing
17 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
One of the things I like best about this series is the relative believability of episodes. OK, not exactly believable but entertaining when I can suspend disbelief. I like the variety of stories and the generally feel-good outcomes. What I never like is when a story's progress depends on a just-in-time rescue. So John Wayne, "Here comes the Cavalry!" It's a smart move to get Finch out of the office, but having to save him (or anyone) with an unbelievable plot twist spoils it for me. The writers have been better than this. I hope we're not seeing a hint of things to come, e.g., ramping up the complexity of plots to stay fresh, but requiring incredible coincidences or twists to make them happen.
