I have thought about this extensively. What if you had an investigative reporter set perhaps 30+ years in the future who figures out that John Reese was the 'Man in the Suit' and that Finch is linked to him. Finch could tell stories of John in a flashback format regarding his life when he was with the CIA and eventually you could bring in Fusco and Shaw too tell what they learned about John. Reese is a closed book but after his supernatural encounter with Carter in the mountians I think it would be reasonable to assume that Reese started to open up about his personal life before he died, thus making his stories known to those who survived. Also this would give us an opportunity to see Snow, Stanton and Reese working as a team and not just getting betrayed by eachother. Mr. Reese (homophone for mysteries) seems like a fitting title for the spinoff to me.

altho because they've cancelled one of the best Tv shows to ever grace the small screen, I will curb my hatred of CBS for only this reason: They allowed the show's producers/writers and actors to give us fans closure...... Usually when a network decides to give the show the chop, its just done and never heard from again.... I hate that its over but at least we had an ending......and a damn good one too! Thanx POI staff - you gave us a wonderful show and we loved it! ♥

I can't believe that it has been five years... Found it by accident, loved the pilot, have been watching every episode since (most of the episodes more than once even). Perfect cast, perfect writing, perfect cinema photography, and the soundtrack. Oh, the soundtrack! Person of Interest is a masterpiece. I can be certain, if I say that You will be missed, I'm speaking on behalf of the entire fanbase. Of course we would like more, but I'm graceful for what we got, a perfect ending. Most of the shows that get cancelled, never get that. Yes, fifth season was bit rushed, but due to that action-packed fast-paced till the end. It's time to let go, Person of Interest ended strong. It's better to have 5 great seasons with a proper ending than to have 10 meh seasons. Again, thank you, Person of Interest staff, for those five seasons of awesomeness.

I agree! I've lost count too. IT'S THAT GOOD!!!!
This was such an amazing show! Great writing and character development.
What I loved about it was its clear appreciation of humanity in all its flaws. It understood that there are shitty people and shitty situations and that power can corrupt, but it also emphasized the capacity we have for creation and connection. And so when The Machine tells Harold early on in the finale about having to understand people in order to predict them, it's a wonderful way for the writers to emphasize once again that machine and man cannot be completely divorced from one another. This was an intelligent series that transcended its CBS mold and became something special, and I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we'll remember it for a very long time. And the nice thing is that when at least one person remembers you, then maybe you never really die at all.
It really was a GREAT show! I STRONGLY recommend watching this show! I've already seen all the seasons about a few times. It's that good. You won't be disappointed!

I know you probably won't see this. Technically, it has been established within the show's lore that he could survive. His partner survived a similar situation. After all it shows him shot but not dead. They could totally do a spinoff. I came up with one. I am sure others have too. Mine has to do with nanites. Still, I think the characters deserve a rest. Great story despite the violence. The characters made the show.
Just finished the series last night. While it hurt to see Root and John die, it was a really nice ending. Kudos!
Would love to see another series of this caliber with these characters again.
these deserve to be back in 2020 for season 6

Best of luck to you ALL in your future endeavors! Proud the show was filmed in our beloved NYC! 📞🖥🐕
Thanks for the memories; a wonderful show that my husband & I enjoyed weekly. We're very happy you (the producers) were able to end this show on your own terms. Big Sister Is Watching!!!!
just finished rewatching the season for the 5th time.... miss the show
I hope a streaming service picks up this show with the other team
That such a shame that the show didn't get the recognition he should have
bit late to it but this is one of my favourite programs ever, and I really want more but without John how can it be, but thank you for giving me many hours of enjoyment, and some tears, ngl, Dr Tillman scene, and the rooftop scene at the end, floods, they just off the top of my head
Just rewatched the whole series. Such a great show!
hi from the future, everything this show warned us about is happening, and it's so scary you have no idea how much I would love for everyone to watch this and understand what's going on.
This show! Should have and could have stuck around longer, but I'm so glad we got an amazing final season to cap of an incredible show. #TeamMachine
Still my #1 TV show. Prophetic!
Awesome and thought provoking series. Thank you, Team Machine!
I know this is 8 years out of date but DAMN this show was so good. It never jumped the shark, never had an episode where I was blown away by something in it. I know the feeling that we would like a new show but….don’t it is so damn good and don’t want anything to even possibly sully that show. Time to rewatch and now 8 years I am and , oddly, commenting on a video that the YT algorithm will now flood me with more
Its not even too far to say that this show changed my life in terms on perspective
Reese and Carter fought abroad and could appear in flashbacks, Shaw, Bear and Fusco are fighting the good fight in New York, technological advancements could bring Root back to life as the Machine instead of just the voice, a suitable emergency could bring Finch out of retirement, the POI crew in Washington... POI the movie, your public demands it!

I cried thrice in between the show, first when Carter died second when root died and finally still crying for John😢❤️ I really enjoyed the show to the core
Like the guy says a heck of a concept and I can see somebody like Netflix or someone like that taking it up.
I so wanted Reese and Root to have their happy ending T-T Made me bawl my eyes out. Their ending was so poetic and realistic as in real life.. not everyone survives at the end in this kind of life. Wish they survived.. but it ended on a realistic note.
I miss Root, she was such a great character. And when the machine called Shaw sister I cried. This show is one of the best shows ever. family tree HAROLD- FATHER MACHINE-DAUGHTER JOHN-UNCLE SHAW- LITTLE SISTER TO JOHN ROOT- ANOTHER DAUGHTER CARTER- SORT OF AUNT FUSCO-UNCLE
I rewatched it so many times
If then else was a masterpiece. How they expressed mad desperation in a voiceless, faceless entity was genius.
Great show. Rewatching it again. I always find something new.
Loved this show from the beginning to the end. Brilliant, smart. Still i HATE them for letting John die. I know it was no fairytale with happy ending, but still i think this character also deserved to survive after all they have been through and try to start normal life for once.... I am just not satisfied.

Awesome show. entertaining and thought provoking. Great actors that could make you feel in those moments. Will be missed but great writing, kudos to all the staff. :)
plot twist: Samaritan won and forged the machine/root's voice just to troll us and the cast
It should be a spin-off with Reese’s death being a simulation and have a mayhem twins spinoff
Best show I ever rewatched probably this 5-6 times This show was a little bit too ahead of it’s time a lot of people don’t know about this I only find you guys in the comments to talk to about it lol if this was released a couple years ago everybody would love this show if not at least know about it.
One of my all time favorite shows.
hope they will meet again and make something relevant with POI story . Hope companies want to work with them about it:( noone satisfied with 5 season show deserved much more :( and a movie
Besides wanting the show back... I WANT REESE BACK!😭😭😭
every one loves bear even mr greer told him that he was good at what he did when root used bear in the subway. bear rules

The best finale since BSG. The truncated timeframe did hurt a bit, in my opinion. I would have liked to see Zoe, Leon and Control again before the end. Still in all, a proper ending that left the window open for a spinoff. Netflix... Get in the game!

I will never forgive the writers, producers, any of them for killing John. He deserved happiness as much as any of the others. His sacrifice would have been just as sweet if he had managed to survive his suicide mission. I get that some feel like the way he went out was great..blah blah blah..well I don't. My opinion, entitled to it. I have watched this show from the beginning..I have never missed an episode. While some think that John's ending was true to form, it was, but only partly. The writers seemed to have forgotten what John was. They also forgot that they wrote it that he had overcome his suicidal thoughts which stemmed from PTSD, loss of love & family, etc. So while he would have definitely taken Finch's place on that rooftop, no way would he not have been prepared to fight for his life, while fully accepting he'd probably die. In other words, he would have had more than just a pistol against the weapons Samaritan's agents had. After all, he'd faced them many times.

Such an excellent show, perhaps the best one I've ever seen! So many thanks to everyone who made this show possible! :-) Having said this: I think there are so many wonderful possibilities for spin-off series or even movies. Can you imagine a movie focused on the past of Root or John? Something like a mixture between Jason Bourne, Spy Game and Hackers (lol) ?!? Or what about Elias and Scarface.. omg.. I would love to see this cast on a huge huge cinema screen. And then the excellent visuals and music.. where *faints due to awesomeness*. OK, can I rent a cinema for 103 episodes? Last but not least: you all deserve an award for this! You get an award, you get an award, everyone get's an award! Enough getting carried away ;-) Much love!
If there would be any hope of a season 6. It would be that the machine is having a discourse with Herald and that she is showing him as many various possibilities of failure and why. I also feel that simplicity is more elegant than all the layers of subterfuge. There has always been a simpler solution to take out Samaritan. The fact that season 5 could all come down to either Shaw being subjected to the torturous endless simulations or Herald having his sessions with his creation. Simple and elegant way to build a platform for any further shows. I agree that John would desire to end his life to protect those he came to love as well as his mission, yet we so desire for him to not sacrifice himself for anything less. I truly felt that The Machine would have known this and perhaps attempted a simpler solution. I do hope they would continue the program, yet the ending seems to suggest there are others in the fight that could be picking up where Root and john left off. I do see this as a failure for the show, the fact that the core characters became as important to us on a wide age rage by design and as they desired. In effect they set into place the destruction of their own creation. Simple as that.
Time for a sequel!
Hey, Greg! Bought the DVD Series. LOVED the show! Watched several times! Pity the last few seasons were dropped! I think it could have been developed as originally planned! Pity ... 😪
Everyone dies alone...
Come on, we are the RELEVANT diehard fan of POI. We need season 6. You know, for the sake of relevant list.
Wonderful show! The only real burning questions for me can be wrapped into one: What are Finch and Reese's real names? For Reese, we saw a "Tal", but can't say I've seen any more...
The first two seasons were the best and especially with Carter. I like how Ken Leung was in a few episodes for some comic relief, hoping he would have continued. It was a great show, but Lost is still my number one.
I love the show but wish it had ended differently! I read the ratings went down in the final season. Anyone have any thoughts why that is? I read comments that I am not the only one that is disappointed in how the show ended. I will say that was like one or two too many simulations with Shaw when she was captured. I was like enough already with that simulation lol

Quite honestly they can do whatever they want, AU's ran through simulations by the machine, a different squad made up of numbers they've saved before, in depth history with each character like a show focused on Elias, Root before she met Harold, Jon in the CIA, or Shaw before she got burned. The only problems are: will they, do they want to, should they, and most of all will anyone else air it?

Sorry for the error in seasons. That should be five, not six (I only wish) very entertaining and quality seasons of action, adventure and FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
made me sad for a week dammit...
This is so stupid.. why the hell did they cancel it??? It was just getting started?? 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️can’t express how upset I am. John should come back in a future person of interest show.
It was a good way to end such a great show... I missed root... i hopelessly rooted for root, but i appreciated the machine dialog with Finch when they speak of the machine new voice and the machine says that - because of 'her' deep understanding of root - it could approximate root to 96%, almost indistinguishable from the real thing... the point is the real root passes the baton to the Machine to end the show in her stead... it's not her voice only, it's an entity indistinguishable from root. Nice justification, but i would have preferred a final with the real root... and poor heroic Reese too :'( ... r.i.p P.O.I you will not be forgotten :)
So what did the machine say to Shaw? Is she going to continue the numbers in NYC with Fusco as a team? I wonder what it told her.

I would imagine the script for that whole call would go something like this: EXT. STREET - DAY A busy street, New York as it is always. Just a girl with no plans and her Dutch military dog with the wind to their backs. A payphone. There’s many. And many have rung in her ears in that week but none for her, that’s all right by her. Another one up ahead that is just another like that. And yet, as she passes.. The phone rings. Is it? Shaw approaches and lifts up the phone, not really hoping to hear anything. .....click..... PHONE (playful) Did you miss me? It’s Root. The Machine’s Root anyway. SHAW You found a way, I take it. ROOT Where there’s a will, there's a retro piece of tech to lend a hand. SHAW Harold and John? (pause on the phone) ROOT ...it...is over. Can’t be good if she, the machine, whatever... doesn’t want to say. SHAW W..What do I even call you? ROOT You can call me whatever you want, sweetie. SHAW You’re not Root, though. No matter the voice. ROOT (sarcastic) Ouch, Sameen! A digital symbiote still has feelings, you know. Shaw is not as amused. ROOT (CONT’D) You are right, however. There is no sufficient description. Little of this... little of that. Left brain, right brain, you know how it goes. Shaw is amused a little. ROOT (CONT’D) With coming and going in mind(s)... do you have any plans tonight? SHAW You don’t quit, do you? ROOT The fun is just starting. SHAW Fun? ROOT Somebody has to kneecap the bad guys of the world, Shaw. Can’t all be daring and elegant digital heists. Samaritan might be gone but there’s more, so much more good yet to be done. The world almost ended in more ways than anyone dares to realize. SHAW I know, I was there. ROOT Sounds just perfect for you, doesn’t it? So what do you say? Let’s spin the bottle. I’m hoping for a dare. Shaw almost says something different but doesn’t bother and just: SHAW You’re hopeless. [Music kicks in] SHAW (CONT’D) (sigh) Sign me up. She hangs up the call, and as she starts to walk away with Bear by her side, Shaw glances at the street camera nearby.... ....a reserved smile of things past and of things to be done.
