It’s called first-person perspective and it’s comparatively rare in film and tv. It’s much more common in literature. The demands of storytelling on film make it much harder to sustain.

There’s a list of first-person perspective films on Wikipedia (although I’m not convinced all of them are, strictly, in that category).
