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?
I love it ! It’s different than the rest of the crap on TV
THIS SHOW IS GREAT. PLEASE KEEP IT ON. CHARACTERS ARE SO GOOD.
GREAT MESSAGE AT END OF EACH SHOW. BEST NEW SHOW ON TV
love this show, so entertaining. Great actor!
Love this show!! All the characters seem to fit so naturally in their role!
Please keep it fro being cancelled!
GREAT SHOW. I ENJOY IOAN, GREAT ACTOR. HE AND JUDD ARE GREAT TOGETHER. I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE MANY MORE EPISODES. PLEASE RENEW.
Forever is one of the best shows I have seen in a very long time. Most stuff on TV now a days is in my opinion garbage. I just happened to turn on the tube for the 11o’clock news I was early & caught the last 10 minutes of Forever & I am now hooked. To cancel this show would be a big mistake. The actors are wonderful & the concept of never dying in that fashion awesome. This show rocks!
You are so right. This is the best
Forever GREAT SHOW TERRIFIC CAST. I’m hooked.
Can’t wait for Tuesday!!
RENEW. RENEW. I used to watch Person Of
Interest BUT NO LONGER.
I ADORE HENRY!!
Hey I love ‘Forever’ and I love ‘Person of Interest’ – ‘Reese’ aka Jim Caviezel is one of my favourite actors. Both program’s need to be renewed for sure. And on a different note – to any other Jim Caviezel fans out there, I recommend the movie ‘Frequency’ – it is fantastic with a brilliant story line plus you get the bonus of the great Dennis Quaid in it as well! 🙂
This is a really great show. I love this show; I look forward to each new episode. Please, PLEASE keep this show.
I LOVE this show!!!!!!!!! PLEASE, PLEASE keep it
Don’t cancel. One of tv’s best shows.
Please do not cancel “Forever.” Really interesting show and Ioan is great as Henry Morgan.
LOVE FOREVER. PLEASE KEEP IT GOING. GOOD MESSAGE AT THE END OF EACH SHOW AND I LOVE THE CHARACHTERS
Definitely should be renewed. I love it and the relationship between Henry and Abe is awesome (and Judd Hirsch as always is brilliant). I love what he says in Episode 2 – “Youth is wasted on the immortal”
same here , it reminds me so much of “highlander” the series, most of the plot elements have been done to “death” already. Nothing new , i’d expect it to be cancelled
Good one, Scott. The one positive thing about the show is the name. At least it is not called, NCIS, Forever, CSI, Forever, or Law and Order, Forever. These shows and their spinoffs do see to go on Forever. I suppose if it had been on another network, that would have happened.
It’s not that this is a bad show. It’s just that it is nothing new. We already have plenty of shows about the undead, buddy detective shows or undead, buddy detective shows. It is a mixture of Sherlock Holmes, Elementary, Sleepy Hollow, Castle, etc. with a couple twists. Same old thing wrapped with a different bow. I stopped watching it because I already had enough to watch. If it offered something new, I might have continued and maybe done away with something else. Some people will like it though.
