Is it worth starting?
This is 5 seasons deep — English action & adventure with a crime streak, not one for younger kids. Several seasons in, so it's a commitment to start rather than a one-night sampler.

- a backlog this size is the opposite of what you're after
- Best for
- A proper binge, once you've got the weeks for it
Story
John Reese, former CIA paramilitary operative, is presumed dead and teams up with reclusive billionaire Finch to prevent violent crimes in New York City by initiating their own type of justice. With the special training that Reese has had in Covert Operations and Finch's genius software inventing mind, the two are a perfect match for the job that they have to complete. With the help of surveillance equipment, they work "outside the law" and get the right criminal behind bars.
