The opening scene to episode 10 of season 3 of Person of Interest, titled The Devil’s Share, is probably the show’s highlight so far. The mid-season climax was devastating, to say the least, and the fallout is summed up nicely in the first scene while Johnny Cash is doing his famous cover of Nine Inch Nails’ Hurt.
I thought The Walking Dead’s mid-season climax was hardcore — and it certainly was hardcore — but this just strummed all the right emotional snares.
