Maybe so, but maybe there's a way to structure that larger story so that it still includes a concern for helping the little guy. It just seems incongruous for a show whose original mission statement was "No single individual's peril is too small to ignore" to end up going "We're only doing arc stuff now, so we have to ignore the small perils of single individuals." If you have a story to tell about a larger global threat like Samaritan, fine, but don't lose sight of the street-level perspective of the ordinary citizens who are affected by that larger threat. Because they're the ones that Finch's mission is all about.
