Person of Interest was the first foray into TV for Jonathan Nolan, the younger brother of Oscar-winning director Christopher. <\/p>\n

On the big screen he has collaborated with his brother on a number of screenplays, including for The Dark Knight and Interstellar. <\/p>\n

During its run the series was highly praised by critics and currently holds a 90% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. <\/p>\n

Out of its five seasons, the first is the only not to reach a full 100% Fresh rating, with critics later noting how the show kept getting better. <\/p>\n

Upon its premiere in 2011, Paste<\/a> wrote: “Person of Interest in an interesting premise, albeit flawed, that will hopefully flesh itself out further.”<\/p>\n

Writing about season two, TV Fanatic<\/a> praised the series’ development, saying: “With it’s great combination of action and drama, there’s no shortage of excitement week to week.”<\/p>\n

While the AV Club<\/a> wrote of season three: “A smart show that keeps getting smarter, Person Of Interest evolved from a procedural with a twist into something entirely itself: a well-paced, tightly constructed sci-fi thriller that continually questions its assumptions.”<\/p>\n

Person of Interest is streaming now on Netflix. <\/p>\n
