Person of Interest became one of my favorite television shows during the first episode of season two when it suddenly is no longer a CSI-like crime show, but hard science fiction.

  Person of Interest is, to my knowledge, the only show to have successfully and naturally transitioned between two radically different genres (Monster of the week style crime procedural into overarching plot based sci-fi). It is beautiful. And it's such a good show, too. Highly recommended, most of the HN audience would enjoy it - very technical, pre-snowden, talks about mass surveillance (ethics, implications, ...) and AI. Original and sci-fi oriented while remaining grounded in reality (Mr Robot tech quality, no CSI bullshit). PS: If you do watch it, give it a few episodes to grow on you while it transitions genres over the first season.

    > to my knowledge, the only show to have successfully and naturally transitioned between two radically different genres I wonder if it compares..... I have in mind an anime series from 2011 titled Puella Magi Madoka Magica which transitioned naturally from happy-go-lucky slice-of-life Magical Girls and into dark psychological Cosmic Horror (winning the best critical acclaim since Spirited Away in the process). And one of the series it has since inspired, Yuki Yuna Is A Hero (2014), doubles down on the happy-go-lucky slice of life before transitioning into an anti-war drama. (But I will check out Person of Interest anyway :)

Oddly enough, the very first scene of this Person of Interest clip is also in Union Square.

Indeed. It is surprising that more technology isn't being put forward to confusing this information. And no, the privacy policy doesn't do anything to calm me down. How does one defeat a digital camera at range?
