POI, my forever favorite American drama

To my favorite American TV series with this narration from Zhai Zong in the opening sequence: "the government has a secret system--a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I know because I built it. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror but it sees everything--violent crimes involving ordinary people--people like you--crimes government considered irrelevant. They wouldn't act so I decided I would. But I needed a partner--someone with the skills to intervene. Hunted by the authorities, we work in secret. You'll never find us. But victim or perpetrator, if your number is up, we'll find you."
