Has anyone here heard of a show called Person of Interest?

It's what would be close to what a modern A-Team reboot what appear to be like.

You have a group of core characters that help people in trouble, only the people in trouble don't hire them, they just appear (well to the people they help they just appear out of nowhere, they actually get there info from an all powerful supercomputer but enough on that). One of the main characters is a ex-U.S. Army green berets soilder.

It's realy good, but some people into the A-team might not like it.

I've heard of it. Never watched it though.

X-Men: Apocalypse 8/10. TMNT: Out of the Shadows 9/10. RIP Doris Roberts. You were wonderful in ELR.

It was different and I really liked it when it first came out. But when John was showing up to talk to the male detective( can't remember name) and then the female detective( same) all the time , after that the mystery of John lessened.

Yeah, no, I have to disagree with you that Person of Interest was like a modern day A-Team, it was not. The only thing they two shows have in common was helping people , but not always were those people "good guys", and that is where any similarities end. Yes, I am fully aware that one character on POI had a military background, but that is not enough to draw a line linking the two shows.

Person Of Interest was an ex-assassin and a wealthy programmer save lives via a surveillance AI that sends them the identities of civilians involved in impending crimes. However, the details of the crimes--including the civilians' roles--are left a mystery.

while the A-Team was a crack commando unit that was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit(well, they did). And then those men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. While being wanted by the government, they survived as soldiers of fortune.

You just said the narration.

RIP Gene Wilder. RIP Robert Vaughn. RIP Carrie Fisher. RIP William Christopher. 2016 is the worst!
