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?
the best show ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love Dr. Henry Morgan <3
This show is good fun.
LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this show please do not take it off the air…..
Forever is the best series ever. It’s riveting, complex, and includes the values and emotions that matter. It’s clever,marvelously entertaining, suspenseful, and intelligent. Who in their sane mind wouldn’t renew this series for another season. There are so many fascinating stories yet to tell. Please tell them.
I am watching this show for the first time. I LOVE IT!!!
I love this show!! I hope it is renewed for next season!!
Love the show. Cast is great. Story lines new and exciting.
It’s really sad that every time a good new show comes on TV almost immediately I think it will be cancelled……………. I love “FOREVER”. Casting is perfect, storylines interesting, the backstory on Henry could go on for years. We need shows like this, not more mind-numbing reality shows or comic book spin-offs. Please renew!!!
This show is well written, sophisticated and witty. I love the characters and the story lines. Each episode goes by so fast and keeps me wanting more. It has just the right balance of drama, mystery and a touch of humor. Please don’t cancel Forever, ever!!
The Best Show Ever, I love the show, I loved the pilot and I love Ioan Gruffudd, he is a very good actor and I’m dying to know when he will tell his secret
I love the show and the cast are really good, do not should be cancelled because the show is very nice a funny, Henry, Jo e Abe has a long story to tell
Eu amo a série a o elenco é realmente muito bom, não deveria ser cancelada pois o show é muito maneiro e engraçado, o Henry, Jo e Abe têm muitas histórias para contar.

I love this show!!! Hope it stays!
Forever is the best show on TV. It’s amazingly well acted, it blends comedy and drama perfectly, and you couldn’t ask for a better cast. Especially, Ioan Gruffudd as Henry. He is the leading man that every show needs. No show like this starts out amazing its first season, it just needs more time, and a better time slot. It would be a huge, disgusting mistake to cancel this show, and I really hope ABC listens to the fan campaign that’s going on and gives Forever a second chance.
please keep it going. one of the better shows on tv worth watching
Please don’t cancel the TV show ‘Forever’..
The best show ABC has had in a long time. Great writing, cast. Just wish it were on a bit earlier in the evening. PLEASE keep it on!
