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 this show please keep it going
This makes me sad and mad. You keep the garbage shows and get rid of the great ones. I wish it was coming back. I might not watch ABC any more so as not to get my hopes up about another show just to have it canceled.
I love this show. One oft favorites
It’s one of my favorite shows. I really like the cast & the plots.
I definitely would like to see this program renewed. I like the
classiness of the show.
PLEASE do NOT cancel this show!!!!!!!! It’s refreshing to have a new concept for a show instead of more fake reality tv. This is an awesome show with fabulous actors and actresses, It would be a disservice to cancel this show. PLEASE RENEW !!!!!
They just cancelled it
Please renew the show ‘Forever’. It has held my attention all season. Each week I looked forward to watching the next episode. Makes us happy ABC!!!
They just cancelled it
I really hope that renew Forever. Really good story lines. It is hard to find a good tv show that is entertaining. They are either too stupid, overly violent, with no story, or a reality show which is subpar intelligence. Who cares who is sleeping with who and what they wear. Someone give us some good intelligent stories.
One of our favorite shows. Can’t believe ABC is even considering canceling!
Please do not cancel Forever. I love it and so does my friend at work.
Pleeeeeeese do NOT cancel.
I really enjoy this show! Keep it going
I love this show! its fresh and original and the plots are very good. I too am sick of all the reality shows. Forever is well done. Keep going.
Love Forever. It’s a great show . Talented cast don’t leave it’s fans hanging. Renew, renew,renew.
I love this show! I also detest reality TV!!! Forever is good as well as being funny! There is really something wrong with the ABC Programmers if the cancel this show!!
My wife and I ask that you strongly consider renewing the “Forever” series. We typically record “Forever” or watch it as it airs. We have never missed an episode. It’s well plotted and well acted. We enjoy the series immensely. It reminds us of a light hearted version of “Highlander”. The last airing was so entertaining and revealing.
My husband and I really enjoy this series. We truly hope it will come back in fall. We will be very sad if ABC cancels it. We hope it won’t suffer the same fate as Firefly – cancelled only after 1 season.
We enjoy Forever, please do not cancel.
