Title is self-explanatory. I thought I would make a new thread just because people kept asking when it would be coming to the UK.
Starts in July, according to DS.

Thats great.
Was wondering if someone was going to pick it up
Thats 3 MASSIVE hits they have now:
Once Upon a Time
The Walking Dead (If only they managed to nab 1st run rights, they'd get well over 3 million instead of the 900k)
Person of Interest
That's a shame. POI had me within a few mins of ep1.
btw: Channel 5's new tv-ident thing is FABULOUS, the previous one being a hideous mess that was so distracting I'd watch H+A on 5* rather than on 5. Whoever, or is it whomever made the decision to change deserves the nations thanx.
They are doing a fine job of getting a mix of everything lately tbh
Without being too spoilerific has the show got legs? ie It's not another Alcatraz, Terra Nova, Secret Circle etc is it?
Well, something they didn't have, is a second season, which Person of Interest has been renewed for on consistent ratings
Michael Emerson. What more does the audience need?
I think this one is a keeper, which is why it surprises me that it's taken this long- perhaps there was a bidding war for the rights here in the UK? It actually grew its ratings across the season for CBS, starting with 13m and peaking with 15.7m for episode 17. It has lost a bit of steam since then but it's still regularly pulling in huge audiences.
Don't get to comfortable, Sky are notorious for snatching shows that become hits for terrestrial channels.
Just remember what happened to Mad Men, ER and 24! to name a few!
I'll be shocked if Homeland isn't on their radar in the none to distant future??
Just saying.
(not my words)
i thought it would only be a matter of time before "that" soundbite was trotted out .. :rolleyes:
Its basically Batman with a gun(without the costume) and its brill .:D
