He was Carrie Wells lover in the past, and decides to get her to join his staff, even though she has been involved in illegal gambling and counting cards for nine years .

I like this show but as I am near the end of the series I am really over Poppy Montgomery thinking that she is the sexiest thing God-created. I'm sure this is just her part in the series, but its just too much.
The show does not feature an ensemble as in "Without a Trace." Poppy is on camera way too much. And when she's flashing back with her photographic memory everything goes to slow-mo and let me tell you by the end of the show you've seen that enough. With the exception of the lead, the characters are not developed and are uninteresting. We know that her love interest is still in love with her - but what the viewer can't shake is why? What's so great about her character that this great guy thinks she so fabulous? She seems pretty boring to the viewer. Additionally, although the leads former love interest is a terrific actor - he has no chemistry with Poppy. I think that Poppy was offered her own starring show and couldn't resist. Although a terrific actor Poppy doesn't really have a large enough array of acting tools or enough personal charisma to carry an entire show - in this pilot she's expected to. She has an air of indifference (especially toward men) that make her in a starring role - a let down in general. I would love to see her back in an ensemble - but I won't watch this snoozer again.
Great characters and fun cases each episode. Two leads are fantastic. They have great chemistry and the will they/won't they tension adds to the fun of the show. Loved seeing Jane Curtain in this too. I really enjoyed it and would watch again.
Because this is such an interesting premise (a woman uses her memory as a means to solve crimes), I decided to at least watch the pilot. Unfortunately, here is a show that doesn't translate from paper to TV screen. Somehow, the characters and story just never gel. Poppy Montgomery doesn't bring any of her acting talent from "Without a Trace" with her. But then again, that was just a role played opposite other actors. Unforgettable is inaptly titled: there's nothing here worth remembering, or to make me want to watch a second episode. I'd be surprised if this lasted even a full season.

7/31:
This show goes from cancellation to renewal? Makes no sense at all.
