Would I enjoy watching it for the first-time today? Or I should’ve watched it before, and re-watch it now to have this feeling/realization?

I'm currently rewatching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Person of Interest - I think both stand up surprisingly well.

You'd definitely enjoy watching it for the first time today, but note the filming & release dates when you're watching. It's eerie how prescient a lot of it is.

Worth watching, first season is good after that it’s great.

Second only to Justified on my list of “consistently brilliant across entire run”.

There are parts of PoI that stick with you long after the show.

Not saying which because spoilers, it’s one of those shows that is better for knowing little about it before watching.

Okay it looks very interesting. I’ll definitely start it soon

You'll feel more at home watching it now, than a few years back, before all the AI developments that have happened in past few years.

It'll be eerily more relatable now. This show was way ahead of it's time, and damn accurate.

This. It sounds unlikely, but it's exactly like this. All the stuff that was supposed to be somewhat science fiction back then, now you just nod and say "makes perfect sense".

I have a friend I watched it with who likes to call and say, "POI Stuff seems like it is happening."

i just burned through it for the first time and had the same impression. i had brushed it off as a procedural (and it sort of starts that way) but it seems oddly LLM (or Palantir) prescient, with the quality of a Nolan / Abrams joint (use of Philip Glass in the last ep kinda kills me). and as a guilty pleasure i enjoyed the cameos, among others i can watch any scene with Lester Freamon or Marlo Stanfield

I watched it for the first time starting this year. And at some point you realize: wait this part was Sci-fi when the show came out and now we have it, but many use it to just alter a recipe or something
