Caught the pilot of the new CBS series from J.J. Abrams and Christopher Nolan. With such an impressive pedigree, you would expect something fresher and exciting.
Jim Caviezel does a nice job in the lead role. He knows how to deliver the deadpan line and his eyes are capable of expressing deep emotions.
However, as with the case of most procedurals, the plot is basic. It doesn't really grab you. Michael Emerson might have been great in LOST but he might be a one-role actor. Here, he just doesn't bring any weight to the part. You need someone like a Gene Hackman-caliber actor to pull it off.
You need a much more complicated plot to match the technology employed in PERSON OF INTEREST. Hopefully, the story becomes more compelling as the series plays out. If not, the show won't be around long.
