Les Oubliés

While flipping through channels one day, I came across the previews for this show and decided to give it a shot. Turns out I ended up liking it even more as things progressed in the first episode with ample character development and a plot with many twists and turns that keeps you on the edge of your seat at a steady pace. The key aspect that clicked with me was the dynamics of this amateur group of detectives that have their reasons for joining in the fight for justice for those that have become "forgotten" by deadly circumstances beyond their control and with sheer determination and will, they become personally and emotionally involved in the case. With all the other crime shows out now, I would say that "The Forgotten" is nicely ranked up there with the likes of "CSI", Criminal Minds, and of course Cold Case. Lets hope ABC rests their laurels on this one. One of the best crime shows on the air.

Alex Donovan (Christian Slater) suffered a personal loss. He decided to start a group of like-minded civilian volunteers to identify John/Jane Does for the police. Everybody bring their own special skills to the team.

Of the three recent Christian Slater led TV efforts, I liked this one the most. Along with Christian, this star Michelle Borth, Anthony Carrigan, Bob Stephenson, and Rochelle Aytes. Heather Stephens was let go midway thru the season which lasted 17 episodes. As a procedural, it has just enough originality to be slightly different. The team has good chemistry especially from Michelle Borth. I guess that this just wasn't flashy enough.

I am stating my opinion as to wondering why they took the forgotten off the air. I am beyond angry for doing such a stupid move! I want them to bring back the forgotten with the same actors and actresses. This is one of the best shows that I've watched since Jaws. So now my question is, "When are they going to bring back the forgotten?" Christian Slater is one of my favorite actors and I would love to meet him in person so that I could let him know personally. The other characters in the forgotten was also amazing people as they are a team. You do not want to break up a team! Just please, who ever decided to take this show off the air made the biggest mistake ever! Bring back this show and bring back the team! By Diana LaCroix in Omaha, Nebraska

Yet again another program, that I like, deleted without much of a chance given to gain an audience. Big surprise. Why don't we just put on massive amounts of "reality?" and other totally useless garbage shows, instead of nurturing the kind of "acting" series that might make us think once in awhile. Oh, I forgot, that's what they're trying to do now. My mistake. So many decently written and acted series have fallen by the wayside in the past years, to be replaced by these other mindless exploitation shows. It's really a shame. I guess as long as there are people wanting to see these other types, good shows like "the forgotten","Jericho", etc., don't stand a chance. Thank goodness for rentals, I guess.

I love this show, the problem is that this show is competing with the Good Wife for viewers. I think that it gives a different angle to a crime shows. LE doesn't always have the time to investigate unidentified dead cases. I also enjoyed "Without a Trace". I am so sick and tired of reality shows. I want something that is going to at least make me think. My family also enjoyed Sleeper Cell, but it was way to realistic. If only the public knew how realistic it is. Maybe the government made them shut that show down. So if you like to solve mysteries and like to problem solve, then this would be a show for you. I didn't know about it because it was always playing when the Good Wife was on, but one day there was a re-run, so we flipped the channel. We would TIVO them so we didn't miss an episode.
