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?
Here is the number to Netflix. Call them I’ve been calling often and they will put it into their feedback. Who knows what will happen. ( 1-888-638-3549 ) I’ve emailed NBC and everyone I could think of.
Call Them and have them bring it to Netflix.
Call Netflix at 1-888-638-3549…If they get enough calls they will bring it to their station.
Forever should have been renewed!!!!!!!!!!! Why it is or was a great show.
I’m Disapointed that this series has been cancelled. I LOVED IT. It probably didn’t have enough action or sexual innuendos for todays audience. I think it was winner. Maybe it will get picked up when some of the new action shows get the ax
Though it was a good show with good chemistry among the cast. Sorry if it was cancelled.
I loved this series- was waiting for new season to start and just found out it was cancelled. Very disappointed!!!!
Disappointed-family enjoyed FOREVER! Networks are taking the good shows off-what is this world coming to when decent shows are being taken off the air.
This show was one of ABC s better shows! What is wrong with them!
Everyone…You are like me, can not believe that Forever was canceled. Please call Netflix at this number and have them transfer it to their station. The number is 1-888-638-3549. Netflix has brought “How to Get Away with murder” and it was a canceled show on t..v. as well. If Netflix gets enough calls, they will bring it to their station.. Call Netflix, get involved.
Typical of the networks. We need more shows like Forever. Why does everything have to be boring. Bring back Forever,and while your at it, let’s bring back Body of Proof.

Loved this series. Will greatly miss the potential it showed for another season or two, at least. Would watch it again in a heartbeat if it were ever brought back.
I really enjoyed that show. I think it should have been renewed for least another five seasons. There is way too much crap on TV these days and that was good show
My husband and I both enjoyed the show!! Nice to have a different premise instead of the same old thing!!!
I was catching up on Forever over the summer with the hopes to be ready when it came back in the fall. Now I look at the fall schedule and come to find out it was cancelled. I am so frustrated. This is one of the few good shows that actually was original and different. I’m so tired of all the reality show crap. What the hell do the kardashians or real housewives bring to our lives except rot our brains and give us no substance in life. I wish Netflix or Hulu would pick it up. I so badly… Read more »
Totally disappointed! What the hell is it with ABC? Again they have canceled one of our favorite shows. Was it too clean? Didn’t have enough PC stuff in it or what?
Let’s start a petition; or try to get a different station to pick it up…
