This is my last lost for finishing this blog assignment. I’m not sure that I will continue writing it in the future, but if I really want to say something about POI, I might come back and write more.

Since the middle of the semester, I stop watching POI. I stopped probably at S04E10. Mostly because I am busy doing homework, but also because I have weekly TV shows that I need to watch every week. That’s the reason I could not write things that actually related to the story after my sixth blog. Today, I will go back to my understanding of this show. And I truly hope that people can go watch it and feel its brilliance.

POI does follow the pattern of some traditional criminal show, at least the beginning of the show does. Incoherent story was played for every episode. This loosen story has both advantages and disadvantages. People who have never watch the show before can easily follow the story and show interests to this show if one story per episode. If the story is continuous, it will keep its original audience. It is like a half-half situation. However, when artificial intelligence starts to make impact on the main story, this show has a major plot. So, POI utilizes both loosen story and compressed plot.

POI actually shares a lot of similarities with Batman. Both stories have billionaires hiding behind the scene and help people. Characters all have extraordinary physiques and miserable past. They all suffer from the pain of ordinary emotion. The main director of POI is also the director of the movie “Dark Knight Rises”. However, POI is not a hero story, there is not super power or absolute bad buys in this show. And characters are also not powerful enough to survive from every dilemmas.

One thing I personal think is funny is watching rich characters spending money buying stuffs that nobody can actually afford. (Oh, probably the real billionaire can afford, but no one that I know can afford though.) Also watching Shaw making fun of Reese is also very fun.

Anyway, POI is one of my favorite shows. I will continue support it and “sell” it every one. No matter how this show eventually end up going, I will follow it to the end.
