Created by Jonathan Nolan. A seemingly procedural show that also deals with privacy and sentient AIs and espionage. The series centers on a millionaire geeky dude that developed a computer program that can predict terrorist acts, crime and the like (with some limitations), and his pal, a former Special Forces dude who tries to prevent such events.
The show was super relevant back in the day with all the Snowden, Assange, surveillance and privacy stuff going on. Also raises a lot of ethical issues about privacy, free will, etc.
The main cast are all winners and all have awesome character arcs. It has the NYPD, the CIA and even the Government and the mob. After 4 solid seasons, it was given a fifth and final season to wrap things up, and did it with a bang.
