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.

I really love the show “Forever” – it’s one of the most original ideas to come to any screen in a very long time. The cast is wonderful, and stories are so refreshing and uinique. Please keep it going!

My family LOVES this show. PLLLLEEEAAASSSEE do NOT cancel!!
I love this show and have all 17 episodes so far recorded on our cable box. (I have enjoyed re-watching various episodes repeatedly but if our cable box goes out I am screwed.) I hope that they release it to DVD as soon as the season ends so I can purchase my own copy. Obviously, I definitely want the show continued.
It’s great! Hope Forever makes it.
Love this show. It would be awful if it was cancelled. It is so interesting to see how the present story flashes back to something that happened to him in history. It is very entertaining and gives you the feeling and allure of “what if” this could be.
please renewed the show forever my whole family watches the show and we like it very much it:s different and enteraining.
One of my favorite shows! The concept and writing are fresh and the acting is superb. Plots are always interesting. If ABC keeps one show, it should keep this one.
I am so glad to hear this isn’t canceled. I look forward to this charming show every week. It is a breath of fresh air – engaging characters, fun and interesting plot, well acted. Definitely a high spot in my week.
