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!
I love this show….please don’t let it be cancelled.
Keep keep keep ….
This is one of my favorite shows!!! I watch it every Tuesday night!!!
I love this show!!! keep it on TV
Love the show but it is seriously flawed? It is as if he jumped 60yrs in time. He is t aware of all the changes the world has gone thru yet he is immortal but his immortality is rarely talked about! Still waiting for some mind boggling show- just another good crime show.
I LOVE THS SHOW KEEP THE SHOW
I love this show. want it to continue
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL I LOVE THIS SHOW IF ITS NOT DOING AS WELL AS EXPECTED CHANGE DAY AND TIME SLOT.
THANK YOU
LUCY
I really like this show and would hate to see it cancelled. I would like to see Ioan with less scruff. He is so nice looking!
I like this show but do not think it is necessary to show all the dead bodies and how they are dissected. The essence of what they are trying convey could be done without showing the body. Because of this I am not going to continue to watch the show. I have stopped watching some of the other TV shows for the same reason. I really like the characters and the stories with flashbacks. Actors are great.
Forever is fantastic! Ioan, Judd, & Alana are really great together. Great writing, and each episode keeps you wanting more & more! Very interesting & romantic when Henry revisits his past. This show is a breath of fresh air, compared to most other TV shows! Forever better get renewed…it’s surely a keeper!!!
I love this show! Henry’s accent is so sexy. I really enjoy when he remembers his past-the cinematography is beautifully done-it really feels like time travel in New York. The writing is great as it winds you through each mystery. I don’t like reality shows-I think they are contributing to the downfall of the American society. Forever is well done and appeals to people with taste and appreciation of a good mystery. Please keep it on for us to see!
Keep this show!
i love this show forever on abc ! i would for this show to come out on dvd! i would really love for the abc’s forever to make more episodes and more seasons !!!!!
