Person of Interest or Homeland? - Blu-ray Forum

HyperRealist · 11-02-2012, 12:32 PM

About to start into a new TV series. I have them both. Which one is better?

hobgoblin · 11-02-2012, 12:56 PM

In my opinion, Homeland hands down.
Tried to get into POI, gave up after 4 episodes whereas Homeland keeps me hooked every week.

Person of interest is better than Homeland imo. Great show with a great story...

If you have them both watch them both. POI has the action that homeland is lacking but homeland makes up for it in its intensity. Its a hard call, I enjoy them both.

Homeland by far. But both are pretty great.

I stopped watching Person of Interest about halfway through the first season due to a lack of time and lack of interest (case of the week shows need to be REALLY impressive to hold my interest, this just didn't do it for me) but Homeland is one of my favorite shows currently on television.

Homeland

Too bad this isn't a poll. By the way, I've got to go with Homeland for better writing and stronger performances.

Homeland.

It's one of the best shows ever.

POI is very very good. It has a fantastic cast Jim Caviezel, Taraji P. Henson and Michael Emerson and if you don't know it was Created by Jonathan Nolan who co-wrote The Dark Knight & The Dark Knight Rises and its produced by both Nolan & J.J. Abrams!

Homeland

They're two entirely different shows with different rules since one's on CBS and the other's on Showtime. If Person of Interest were on cable, it'd probably be more brutal and the episodes would completely serve the story arcs. If Homeland were on network TV, there would be a lot of stand-alone episodes.

Homeland.

Tony208 · 11-04-2012, 03:12 AM

Easily Homeland

Person of Interest is a very good procedural but that's all it is
