In the series premiere, a train accident kills Morgan, but he soon resurfaces in the Hudson River. But, after centuries of keeping his power a secret, an unknown person contacts Morgan, claiming to have witnessed his immortality. Abraham (Judd Hirsch), Morgan's confidant and adopted son, advises him to continue his normal routine. However, the unknown person soon reveals himself, and a resulting conflict leaves Morgan to wonder how long his power will remain a secret.. Along the way, Morgan and Det. Jo Martinez (Alana de la Garza) encounter cases that include the death of a wealthy matriarch, a "Jack the Ripper" copycat, the murder of a famous jazz musician's son and a mummified woman found behind a wall in a famous punk club.

Sep 22, 2014 | Full Review… Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-Dispatch Top Critic Gruffudd's characterization is a bit uneven; sometimes he's gruff and aloof and still pining over the loss of his World War II-era love, yet he's able to turn on the charm when he wants to. Sep 22, 2014 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Vicki Hyman Newark Star-Ledger Top Critic Feeling familiar is the least of Forever's problems. The worst offense is wasting Gruffudd's assets on an underdeveloped premise better suited for a made for TV movie. Sep 22, 2014 | Full Review… Mekeisha Madden Toby TheWrap Top Critic Castle with a twist and a pair of hugely attractive leads. Sep 22, 2014 | Rating: B | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic A strong hero and a positive theme enrich this crime drama. Sep 22, 2014 | Full Review… Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Top Critic Too much of Forever is either overwrought or half-baked. Sep 19, 2014 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic Eight half-hour episodes that'll keep you guessing, make you laugh and even cry make up the first season of Forever. Nov 6, 2018 | Full Review… Kiera Allen Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL) It's nutty, but oddly compelling. Nov 11, 2014 | Full Review… Dave Walker Times-Picayune It's more about enjoying being in the company of these charismatic characters, and there's strong chemistry between the debonair Gruffudd and the earthy De La Garza. Sep 22, 2014 | Full Review… Matt Roush TV Guide Forever places an appealing cast in the unfortunate position of playing out a storyline in which many elements are either unexplained or simply don't make sense. Sep 22, 2014 | Full Review… Brad Oswald Winnipeg Free Press Not even Judd Hirsch, as the only one who knows Morgan's secret, made me me want to stay an hour longer, much less forever. Sep 22, 2014 | Full Review… Ellen Gray Philadelphia Daily News It's not a showy pilot, but there are a lot of visually interesting things happening throughout. Tie it all together with Gruffudd and Hirsch's winning chemistry and ABC has got a winner on its hands. Sep 22, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Nick Venable CinemaBlend View All Critic Reviews (47) Audience Reviews for Forever: Season 1 Apr 30, 2019 The show puts a fun twist on the over used cop drama show. It is as smart as Sherlock and solves mysteries better than anyone Caleb H Apr 17, 2019 The characters are amusing and interesting to get to know, while a backstory is well-developed. Though there are a few plot holes that are never addressed, it could simply be because the show was cut to an untimely ending. Unfortunately, no good thing lasts forever. Mar 21, 2019 In my opinion this was the best TV show in the history of commercial television. It was quite depressing when I heard it was cancelled. Maybe some cable station will resurrect it... Joel H Mar 18, 2019 An enjoying mix of House, Highlander and Sherlock. We just love it Mar 02, 2019 The show had an interesting premise and surprisingly was enjoyable and watchable. it is a shame there was only one series. Peter D Feb 09, 2019 Such a brilliant show, loved every episode. When Forever came out on T.V. it had been a long time since I looked forward each week just to watch a show but Forever hooked me from the start, with a charismatic cast; intrinsic storytelling; gripping; brilliant and clever, this show is a must watch for anyone who loves amazing detective shows like Sherlock or Columbo. I was truly devastated to hear of the shows cancellation when at the time shows of much lesser quality and substance where getting green lighted, I hope one day they bring it back, I'd like to say Thank you to the writers; directors; cast and crew of a job well done you made a fan out of me for life. Peter C Jan 25, 2019 suck that thew show got cancelled it was great and thrilling ben L Oct 08, 2018 I hate that they canceled the show. I really liked it! Peter C Apr 02, 2018 I loved this show! It added fun, and interesting story threads to an Already awesome premise and i dont see where people didnt like it when it was running. Cameron M Feb 17, 2018 WHY DID THEY CANCEL IT!!!!!!
