POI is a gem, although its genre might be difficult to determine. It's not a police show, spy show, drama, etc, but it's all those and more wrapped up into one.
What makes it so good is its writing and although its run was fairly short, it was generally well thought out from beginning to end. The intro of the new computer system I think was a poor choice, but it was introduced little by little by little. And that's what I mean about the writing, which is that plots that are 5 episodes away are subtly introduced along the way which means a great deal of thought was given either before hand.
The other thing that makes it such a good show is the music. The soundtracks for many episodes truly enhance the story, especially Johnny Cash's Hurt. This to made it exceptional as great music choices are spread in most episodes vs the norm of sporadic. I don't know why the show was canceled, but it could be music rights because they're kept even in syndication which is unusual and important.
Lastly, the addition of Bear (trivia do you know where his name comes from) was great. Many times animals are added and they're just an occasional storyline (like the new HF0, but Bear truly becomes one of the shows stars and characters that enhances the plots. Well worth your time to watch.
