سریال مضنون Person of Interest, یکی از قشنگ ترین سریال های هیجانی، پلیسی، کمی علمی تخیلی هست که با توجه به پیشرفت علم در زمینه برنامه نویسی و هوش مصنوعی به دور از واقعیت نیست. بازیگر اصلی این سریال مایکل امرسون هست که در سریال گم شدگان Lost هم نقش آفرینی کرده بود، من واقعا اولش در اون سریال ازش متنفر شده بودم. اما نظرم با دیدن بازی فوق العادش در این سریال به کلی در موردش تغییر کرد. این سریالو به زبان انگلیسی و اسپانیایی دیدم، اینقدر جذاب هست. مایکل امرسون با نقش هارولد فینچ برنامه ای نوشته که از طریقش می تونن بفهمن جان چه کسی در خطر است، البته مردم عادی از این برنامه نفعی ندارند به همین دلیل فینچ با یکی از ماموران سابق سیا همکاری می کنه تا جون آدم های بیگناه رو نجات بده. موزیک فیلم توسط رامین جوادی نوشته شده، که بعدا با ساخت موزیک سریال بازی تاج و تخت هم خوش درخشید.
