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?
Renew
I honestly feel they need to bring back Forever. You still have people asking for that show. I wish they would listen to the fans
renew.
It was one of the few shows I always watched and now, like Firefly and some others, its gone “Forever.” There’s so much trash on, the loss of really enjoyable shows leaves huge holes. No wonder I don’t waste much time watching TV anymore.
RENEW!!!!!!
Renew it
This needs to have a second series, I’ve started watching it again today before work. We can,t do without it.
Absolutely brilliant series, the best yet. I watched all episodes in 4 days as I was hooked, please bring this back for a second series and more it is a a crime not to!
PLEASE BRING THE SHOW BACK.BOTH ME AND MY DAUGHTER WATCHED IT TOGETHER. GREAT SHOW FOR FAMILY TIME.
I’ve been waiting and waiting for this show to reappear for the second season. I did a search for it and see that it was cancelled. Booooooooo!
Please renew this series it was great!
I will continue to express my support and encouragement for the return of Forever. I am not a tv junkie and rarely does a series come along that keeps me entertained, captivated and wanting for more. Forever was all of that is is sorely missed.
Please renew this great series.
Great show. So interesting. I can’t believe it was cancelled. There’s so much junk on tv but this was truly a good show. Very disappointed.
I loved this show, I. Had no idea it was canceled …. I’m was for the new season to start and now it gone, I’m not happy… Bring it back. PLEASE
