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?
Love it!
You’ve got to leave it on and give it a chance. Your just going to pour money into a new show that you won’t give a chance to either. This show is great!! Give a chance to find it’s place. The acting, writing and story line is great, enjoyable and most important, “DIFFERENT”! With all the garbage on TV these days why not leave a story with imagination, good writing and great actors on the air. BE DIFFERENT AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE!
This show is different but interesting. It really captivates. I would love to see it continue. Give it a chance.
I think it’s a wonderful show. I think as we see more of dr. Morgan’s past it’s really improving an already good product. I hope they renew it.
Love this show…so smart…do not cancel…
WE LOVE THIS SHOW!!! DO NOT CANCEL.

This is my favorite TV show to watch. I never miss an episode and if I do, I catch it on “On Demand” through my cable company.
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL this show!
Thank yo u
This is absolutely, my favorite TV show!
It is entertaining, interesting, and the humor is not crude or insulting.
Such a refreshing change of pace.
I record the show and then wait a day or two to watch it, because once it’s over I have to wait ( up to a week) for another show.
Totally my favorite show. I’m so obsessed, I actually have nightmares about it being cancelled. Love everything about it. Long live Forever!
I just love this show the characters and the theme of the show. I don’t know if the concept has ever been done before. But I can’t wait to watch the show every week. Don’t cancel it. It is a great show!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is one of the best new shows on. They can”t rate a show when they already have repeats. people don”t watch repeats right away.they got to be kidding if they want to cancel this show.
