- A billionaire software-genius named Harold Finch creates a Machine for the government that is designed to detect acts of terror before they can happen, by monitoring the entire world through every cell-phone, email and surveillance camera. Finch discovered that the machine sees everything, potential terrorist acts and violent crimes that involve ordinary people. When the government considered violent crimes between normal people "irrelevant", Finch built a back door into the system that gives him the social security number of a person involved in a future violent crime so he could act. Partnered with John Reese, an ex-CIA agent, the two work in secret to prevent violent crimes before they can happen. Eventually their activities lead to being hunted by the New York Police Department, CIA Agents in pursuit of Reese who was listed as dead, a computer hacker named Root who wants access to the Machine, and government officials who want to keep all knowledge of the Machine a complete secret.
- Wealthy genius software engineer, who generally goes by the name Harold Finch, is the mastermind behind the creation of an all-seeing machine. Finch and his front man Nathan Ingram devised the machine to sell to the US government, who are unaware of Finch working behind the scenes. The purpose of the machine is so that the government can spot acts leading to terrorism to prevent those terrorist acts from occurring. But what the government considers irrelevant in its use of the machine are acts leading to murder. As such, Finch, without the government's knowledge that he has a back door to the machine, wants to prevent those murders. The machine only provides the social security number of someone involved, Finch unaware if that person is the target or perpetrator. He enlists the help of an ex-CIA special operative who generally goes by the name John Reese to assist in his mission, Reese who is officially listed as dead. But as Reese in particular often uses non-legal means to achieve Finch's end goal, he is tracked by the authorities, who only know him as the man in the suit. They are also tracked by those who are thwarted by the pair in carrying out this mission, and by the few who know of the machine's existence and who have their own nefarious thoughts of what to do with the machine if they can get their hands on it.
- I am a regular viewer of the show since episode 1. I think I watched all the episodes of the first 3 seasons.<br/><br/>OK. There is this guy who created a machine that spies everyone at least in U.S. soil. This is his adventures as he partners with a couple of ex-CIA agents and police officers to save one (!) person every week who his machine secretly "told" him that he is either the victim or the ..killer in a future crime that "she" (instead of it) predicted!!<br/><br/>The premise is ridiculous by itself. In a simplistic way.<br/><br/>One big machine U.S. government controlled that spies on you (American citizen)? .....Well my friends we are in 2014-5 and there are dozens companies out there that spy on you! Every e-mail, phone call, your contacts, your calendar events is monitored by companies such as Google, Samsung, Apple, Microsoft etc. and with your blessings, because you agreed in the terms and conditions of the usage of their hardware and software. And for far less noble causes than to prevent "an act of terror" as the narrator says at the beginning of the shows.<br/><br/>In a show like this I'm usually interest in the back story. That's for me the "Story of interest"! I don't really care about the occasionally ...janitor or waitress they are trying to save. One at the time in one city, every week (that doesn't sound right anyway, is like trying to empty the ocean with a bucket).<br/><br/>If it was possible, I will suggest to watch those episodes that advance the main-story instead of the every week future-crime solve. Than maybe I would be giving it an 8/10. Overall I am a little bored of it, after 3 seasons, so I'll give it a 5/10.
- I've been totally addicted to this show ever since I watched the pilot a few weeks ago. James Caviezel is dark, brooding, yet calm and methodical when he's in action. Michael Emerson from Lost is also effective as the guy who invented the machine that predicts that violent crimes are about to happen.<br/><br/>It's an intriguing show. Closest plot that reminds me about this is Minority Report, but with a made-for-TV treatment that's still pretty damn good. Guest stars are also familiar to those who've watched Law & Order, CSI, etc., and are complementary. The cop trying to chase after him's a bit of a stretch but I guess they need something for continuity.<br/><br/>Worth recommending to those who want to hitch on a new action, mystery show that's very well-written and fantastic-paced.<br/><br/>Go watch it and you won't regret it.
- It is based on a screenplay developed by J. J. Abrams and Jonathan Nolan, which is inspired by movies like Enemy of the State, The Bourne Identity, and particularly Minority Report. The idea for the show came about long before Edward Snowden and Prism story came out. The show also contains the usual "cop tv drama" elements.It was revealed at the end of season two that Finch was injured in the ferry explosion that killed his friend Nathan Ingram. He has been seen in flashbacks to have spent time using a wheelchair for sometime afterwards, in 2010. It wasn't just his leg that was injured, his cervical vertebrae was affected and he has pins in his neck from spinal fusion surgery, as shown in an early season one episode. Finch limps and has trouble turning his neck. The Machine applies differently colored boxes in order to categorize the people it observes. Boxes can change as the Machine re-evaluates its assessment of the individuals it monitors.<br/><br/>White box: Individuals the Machine is currently monitoring, but who do not pose an immediate threat.<br/><br/>White box with red corners and crosshairs: Indicates imminent/ongoing violence by the indicated individual.<br/><br/>Red box: Relevant threats and individuals who pose a threat to the Machine or one of its administrators.<br/><br/>Yellow box: Individuals who know about the Machine.<br/><br/>Black box with yellow corners and crosshairs: Individuals who know about the Machine and communicate with it. The Machine designates these individuals as an "analog interface". Root is the only known analog interface now.<br/><br/>Blue box: Members of government teams; the scope of this box is unclear, but includes agents acting on "relevant" numbers.<br/><br/>Wheeled vehicles (such as cars, trucks and buses) are coded based on status of individual passengers within.<br/><br/>Starting in Season 3, the boxes are slightly modified to have solid vertical lines rather than dashed ones, along with a central target identifying the vehicle being monitored.<br/><br/>The Machine also categorizes and marks watercraft and aircraft.<br/><br/>Boats, ships and ferries are assigned a white diamond.
