Person of Interest (TV Series) Lady Killer (2013) User Reviews

"I think I really am much better now" (dialog, Amy Acker)

[A_Different_Drummer · 9/10 · 27 December 2014]

Not merely an impressive episode but a clinic in how to keep a series fresh.

What I liked most about the first season was how true it was to the core formula. As in, why fix it if it ain't broke? But the producers, some of the smartest people in the biz, were looking further down the road; and by Season 2, they started slowly moving their chess pieces into place.

This wonderful episode not only provides the usual "victim or perpetrator" arc, but also brings together some of the strongest characters from the first two seasons in a secondary arc, and sets the series up for the future.

Everyone is great, including the dog. But once again Amy Acker is a scene stealer as a ex-sociopath trying to fit back into a world she left behind.

More fun than a barrel of hammers.

Amazing episode as always. A hard work in character develop and nice dialogues

The Wolf

[claudio_carvalho · 8/10 · 28 February 2024]

The Machine delivers the number of Ian Murphy, a self-made man that inherited one hundred thousand dollars when he was in college and now lives off his investments. Reese and Shaw investigate him and Reese finds in his apartment that he is a wolf, dating several women from a website and keeping records of them. Among the dossiers of the women, Dana Wellington is dead and Jenna Lakritz is missing; therefore, they believe Murphy is a perpetrator. Reese plots a plan to find Murphy's intentions, and invites Carter, Shaw and Morgan to participate, creating fake profiles in the Murphy's favorite website. They go to a night-club and Murphy spends the night with Carter. Soon they are attacked on the street and Reese brings Murphy to meet Finch, and they learn the truth about the investor. Meanwhile, The Machine advises Root that someone is coming to the mental institution to kill her and she prepares to receive the killers.

"Lady Killer" is an episode of "Person of Interest", where Root and Hersh show that they should have been eliminated in the previous episodes, when Reese and Shaw had the chance. They have spared these villains only to let the show go on, since they are jeopardy for "irrelevant people". The lead segment with Ian Murphy is entertaining. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Lady Killer"

Another filler episode

[interestingstuff · 17 January 2023]

The third season has been super disappointing so far. We've seen 3 episodes and every single one of them was a "filler" episode whose only purpose is to fill time before the real stuff starts happening.

This is another one of those filler episodes where the main story arc didn't develop one bit but they wasted 43 minutes on a one-episode story that most people couldn't care about. These missions used to be just a side story while the main story arc was developing but now they became the main course while the main story completely stopped to develop at all.

So far we've had 3 episodes in Season 3 and none of them were impressive. Let's see if the rest of the season will start picking up.

Great fun, but ...

It is a jolly enjoyable series but Amy Acker is woefully out of her depth as a fearsome psycho, she's as convincing as the proverbial chocolate teapot.
