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?
it was a great written show no reason to cancell i saw ever eposide . maybe they just didnt want to pay saleries to good actors – thats why there are so many reality shows
My wife and I thought it was a great show. Much better than most of the new trash they have on now. It is too bad idiots get to make so many decisions today.
Loved this show, the actors, and the writing. Please bring this show back and get the garbage off.
Keep the show its great
Absolutely renew Forever. It’s one of the few good shows out there with great scripts and characters and actors that portray them! Stop with reality and competition shows. KEEP FOREVER,
PLEASE, PLEASE RECONSIDER AND RENEW FOREVER !!!!!
I am so disappointed that FOREVER was canceled. It should have lasted forever! It is the only show that I liked well enough to watch consistently. I would love for the network to reconsider their decision and bring it back. Since it has been canceled, I rarely watch TV.
My wife and I watched this program every week . We had not been this excited about a program in years . We are very disappointed to hear it’s been canceled. It is our hope that we have not seen the last episode of this program.
Are you going to to put it back or should we just forget about ABC ?
I cannot believe that this show was canceled!!!!! It was the best show that has been on television in a long time!!!!
How can reality TV, which is so FAKE, still be on television and good shows like Forever, are canceled after the first season?!?!?!?????? Makes no sense.
I wish I could meet the morons who made the decision to cancel it!!!!
This show needs to come back!!!!!!!!!!!!
The show needed more off a castle feel to it
Please bring this show back. There is a larger market than 18-49 year old’s, maybe combined everyone over the age of 49 will be as big a market as they are. Additionally, I’ve rechecked the audience size of every single premiere of this season (new series as well as old). EVER SINGLE ONE of them (a/s of 10/3), has gone down in the ratings. How long is it going to take the networks and channels to realize that today’s 18 to 49 yr. old’s are using different media than TV to watch what they want to watch. Your old measures… Read more »
Brilliant!
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.
Thanks Anonymous for sending Netflix number. Maybe another station will get it. I am really angry with NBC
