TV show description:
A fantasy crime drama, this TV series follows New York City’s star medical examiner — Doctor Henry Morgan (Ioan Gruffudd), handsome man with a secret past. No matter how hard he tries, Henry can’t age even a single day — he’s immortal. He doesn’t know much about what happens when he “dies” except that everything on him disappears and he reemerges in a body of water, naked.
Henry doesn’t just study the dead to solve criminal cases however. He does it to try to solve the mystery that has eluded him for 200 years — the reason for his own inexplicable immortality.
Henry’s long life has given him remarkable observation skills which impresses his new partner, Detective Jo Martinez (Alana De La Garza). This piques her curiosity about who he is. Each new case and their budding friendship reveal layers of Henry’s long and colorful past. Jo’s sharp, no-nonsense instincts and her ability to close difficult cases have given her a tough-as-nails reputation on the force, despite also dealing with the untimely loss of her husband.
Lucas Wan (Joel David Moore) is a twenty-something self-proclaimed “artisan of death” and Henry’s worshipful assistant. He considers mortuary science an art, and Henry its Picasso. After transplanting to New York City from rural Ohio, Lucas worked up the courage to introduce himself to the star medical examiner at a crime scene.
A Brooklyn native, Detective Hanson (Donnie Keshawarz) works alongside Jo and has worked his way up to the NYPD’s elite squad of homicide detectives. He’s a family man who lives with his wife and two children in Queens. Unafraid of bending the rules to get the job done, Hanson is sometimes skeptical of Henry’s talent but often admires its effectiveness.
No one knows Henry better than his best friend and confidant, an antique shop owner named Abe (Judd Hirsch). The keeper of Henry’s immortality secret, Abe’s “carpe diem” philosophy inspires Henry to get more in touch with the beauty of living. Abe is not immortal but he is determined to make the most out of every moment of life.
Episode #22 — The Last Death of Henry Morgan
Henry and Adam have been on a long, unrelenting collision course, which is about to come to a head – possibly bringing about one man’s death – with only Jo standing in the way. Henry and Jo’s murder investigation into a museum worker’s death centers on a priceless missing ancient dagger, which not only ended the life of Julius Caesar, but also killed Adam the first time.
Meanwhile, Adam knows that there is something that Henry fears more than death – that Jo might discover his mystery. The two men tangle in a tumultuous game-changing confrontation.
First aired: May 5, 2015.
What do you think? Do you like the Forever TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Everything is Great in this show,
Why it was cancelled. Realy BIG BIG mistake!
I love Ioan Gruffudd Sooooo much )^: ) ^ : ): )-:
Bring it back Plz
FOREVER MUST BE RENEWED. Great show, writing and great cast.
Forever a show with imagination and good acting was cancelled , for what? another lame reality show, maybe some more housewives or something equally mindless!
yes I liked Forever and don’t think it should have been cancelled!
I always looked forward to Tuesday, first Marvels agents of shield than; Forever. I will miss Henry and the gang. Think about one more season.
Good show. Hate to see it cancelled as it was getting good. A decent show should be given a least two seasons. Can some other network pick it up?
I love that show- please bring it back
All my favourite shows got cancelled after one season due to ratings in a certain day and time slot. Have the decision makers never heard of DVR ? I record everything I watch and the day and tIme are irrelevant. We can ACTUALLY watch shows that are in the same time slot on different channels, duh
FOREVER , like my other cancelled shows has excellent writing, superior acting and originality. Its a real shame. Shows that dont follow a cookie cutter pattern or exhibit too much intelligence are doomed.
every time I find a show worth watching it becomes cancelled.
Good drama, good humor, good stories. The characters were just starting develope and become interesting. It should never have been canceled, and definitely should have had a second season.
Cannot believe the awful shows allowed to stand on ABC networks (700 Club, really?) and you cancel fresh and interesting FOREVER?
Bring it back!

Forever was one of he best programs on TV. I cannot understand why it was cancelled. BIG mistake!
Love this show!!! It has everything suspense, a great story, actors, the right blend , people just need to see it to love it.
I think it’s a great show I’m firing to see how. Jo takes the info about Henry. I also believe this show is really well done. I also love love the. Story line about Abraham being rescued from the concentration. Camps and raised by Henry. I think it’s hilarious when Abraham calls Henry
DAD…lol:)
I am crossing ABC off my list. Forever got cancelled because it wasn’t about gays, lesbians, witches, vampires, sex etc.
Gays and lesbians enjoy the show too. Why mention them with a negative connotation, when all we all want is FOREVER to stay and be “uncancelled?” Also, nothing wrong with sex L.O.L. DAVEDJ
It make me mad when they do that. I love Forever. and there are other tv shows I love.
There are lot of us love good tv shows. They took Vegas, CSI: NY, DAD, CSI: Miami, and other. They should leave these tv shows on at lest 2 or 4 seasons I’m not sports fan. once we get a good shows they want to take it off because of the rating they don’t care what think.
