The premiere episode leans into this dichotomy, creating a clear contrast with the opening moments of True Crime.

His face, along with Olivers and Mabels, is on the side of a bus.

And there are fireworks things are really looking up for the three members ofMurder She Wrote!

The illusion gives way to interrogation after interrogation after interrogation.

Mabels dealt with more than her share of death; she worries her life has become defined by it.

I need a life away from death.

Id rather be dead than boring, Oliver responds I wish he wouldnt tempt fate like that!

Plus Jan turned out to be Tim Konos murderer and maybe even a serial killer.

Persons of Interest also promises ways forward or whole new directions for Oliver, Mabel, and Charles.

Theyll have to clear their names if they want to reap the rewards of renewed relevance and newfound notoriety.

There are lingering questions, which even Amy Schumer points out.

Who actually poisoned Winnie?

For that matter, who left those notes on Olivers and Jans doors?

Who texted Oliver and Charles to warn them, and did they also text Mabel?

Did Jan kill anyone else at the Arconia?

And at what point did Bunny buy some branded podcast merch?

Or did Oliver give her the tie-dye hoodie as a peace offering?

Now I love the dynamic between the three main characters.

And I know meta-humor has been baked into this show from the beginning.

My issue isnt with the callbacks as much as with the lampshading of the callbacks.

They usually move on to a new case that never hits like the original.

so Im in no position to write off anyone elses theories.
