Good article, and I love the show, but those are some pretty big spoilers to not have a warning IMO

Katana314[/url]":v1gy3v80]I get people saying this only makes sense if you binge watch it. I don't really know how people find the time anymore - for me, it's always just one episode of something on Netflix with dinner, then sometimes one more if I feel like it AND it's a half-hour show. More than anything, I hate cliffhangers, and I hate finishing an episode feeling like *that* individual episode didn't have a satisfying story arc.

Only ever got through about 3 or 4 episodes of Person of Interest, got the impression it would be very formulaic, and then wasn't really compelled to keep watching. I wonder if large numbers of people like me are what killed it from TV, regardless of the overall quality of the series. Obviously based on the comments, it seems to fit the general Netflix subscriber much better.

Hopefully there's a list out there for PoI like for some other shows, calling out the key episodes to advance characters and plot arc and avoiding the "freak of the week" shows. I certainly would have appreciated one.
