Dork Note: I just finished watching the Season 2 premier and really dug it. I highly recommend this show to the dorks out there. --- of course start with Season 1 - duh!
The show does it have its prime-time handicaps, but it is the closest thing to a superhero (live action) show on TV. That is...

Clipped from io9 in 12/15/11 : At this point, probably some people are questioning whether Person of Interest
really counts as a superhero show — and it's true that nobody dresses
up in a funny costume on this show, any more than Wolverine does most of
the time in his movies. As we've observed before, the superhero genre
is really a thousand different genres squashed together weirdly, and one
of those is the "gritty urban vigiliante" genre.
So what superpower do our heroes have in Person of Interest?
Easy. They have the power of knowing the future — but only in super
vague, incredibly unhelpful ways. (And to a large extent, I'd argue that
Reese's ability to win almost any fight and make almost any minor
criminal his bitch constitutes a secondary superpower. He really is
Batman, minus the costume and detective ability.)
