Forever

I absolutely love this show. I like crime shows in general, especially when they have a Sherlock-ian lead, but this is my favorite of all time. This show is like a combination of the Mentalist, Bones, CSI, and the Highlander. Its magic is not in its components – it is in how well it is done. The critics seem to be slamming the fact that it is a conglomeration of characteristics of other shows – but why not take the best parts of them all and put them together? What is wrong with that? This is entertainment, not an artistic statement. Nonetheless, it is very well written – funny, smart, exciting and absorbing, and with a sentimental twist. It is more lighthearted than CSI and more emotional than the Mentalist. I love that it tends to be more about biology and medicine than hair samples and carpet fibers…it's more about all the obscure ways people can die. The flashbacks to history are kind of fun, too. It is perfectly casted-the lead actor/main character is so expressive and charming you are instantly drawn in and rooting for him. The characters play off of each other very well—a little too much of anyone/thing and it just wouldn't be the same. In short? I look forward to this show all week, and when I watch it: I laugh, I cry, I learn something, my heart pounds in places and later it melts, and I end just about every show sad that it's over and wanting to watch it again.

Today I came across an episode of Forever on TV. I was and still am a huge fan, when it first came out, I watched every episode and was really surprised when it was cancelled after only one excellent, well written, imaginative, riveting and original season. So today I watched again, and I miss it just as much, I hope it can have a comeback very soon! Some of the ideas of the show were 'borrowed' by other subsequent shows, but these never had the same scope or wonderful cast dynamics.

You should not call a show 'Forever' and end it after only one season as the meme says! Bring back Forever!

Honestly after reading the description of the show I wasn't too excited about watching the 1st episode. But it had me hook, line, and sinker after the first 5 minutes.

Ioan Gruffudd gives a great performance as Henry Morgan, and Alana De La Garza as Det Jo Martinez is fantastic as always.

Its refreshing to see time was spent on character development, writing, and directing. Too many shows are casting "A" list actors and then putting out a poor planned product. Hats off to the entire cast and crew.

Looking forward to upcoming season.

This show had what many shows these days lack. And that is a genuine bona fide proper show. These days most T.V. is filled with either not so reality, reality TV or with stuff that is so awful that finding out it has fans is saddening. Rarely, do I like a show that is or has been on T.V. - In fact, I watch about 5 shows that are on T.V. and Forever was one of those shows. I thought it was a breath of fresh air and so did my brother. It had a good, not so in your face humour side with a couple of characters and it also had some decent drama and mystery and a really good plot. I mean, How many shows are there that are about an immortal man who is trying to figure out why he's stuck in the land of the living.

It was a beautiful show. I'm sorry to see that it got canceled. It seems these days anything that's original gets tossed aside while everything else that's just a clone of another gets high praise and prime T.V. spots.

We stumbled upon this show out of desperation during the holiday break. It is FANTASTIC. We truly love this show and find it to be very intelligent, entertaining and interesting. When it first premiered, we had no desire to watch it based on the promos, so I believe that if this show fails it is due to a poor promotion and marketing campaign. The promos emphasize a 200-year-old man trying to find a cure for his immortality...seems wacky. Who would want to watch that? This show is so much more. What a shame that it most likely will be cancelled without most people even having a chance to discover it. Hopefully the network will see the potential and rethink their marketing. It's truly great.

I hope ABC will give it another shot.
