New York's star medical examiner, Dr. Henry Morgan, doesn't study the dead only to help solve criminal cases. Born 200 years ago, he hopes his work also will help solve mysteries about his own mysterious immortality. The remarkable observational skills he has developed over his long life impress his new partner, Detective Jo Martinez, and as they get to know each other, more of his colorful past slowly reveals itself -- even as he continues to keep his long life secret from everyone except his best friend and confidant, Abe.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Forever star Ioan Gruffudd is appealing, but his charm can't overcome the show's gimmicky, unrealized premise.

The show finds a funny way to explore the purgatory of other people and the hell of one's own self. Go to Full Review Emily Nussbaum The New Yorker 10/03/2018
The show feels built from an Ikea-particle-board notion of committed love. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix 09/23/2014

It's all fairly disposable. Go to Full Review Kiera Allen Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL) 11/06/2018
Eight half-hour episodes that'll keep you guessing, make you laugh and even cry make up the first season of Forever. Go to Full Review Dave Walker Times-Picayune 11/11/2014
It's nutty, but oddly compelling. Go to Full Review Rebecca Murray Showbiz Junkies 09/28/2014

Jeffrey R @randallj66 Jan 16 Just finished Forever 01/14/2026. It was a very good show. I enjoyed the mix of sci-fi and police drama. I wish it had more seasons. Course producers of tv over the last 20 years seem to listen to critics instead of fans of the shows/movies. I will be purchasing the dvd too. All of the actors in the show did great and became a great team. Very entertaining. See more Maureen D 07/20/2024 A beautiful show indeed, again, I'm trying to understand why it was canceled 😕 See more Ryan S @RyanCanada 06/04/2024 Loved this series, yet another series cut way too short. See more Kathi M 11/16/2023 I loved it - was absolutely worth every second. They had enough to do a Season 2....but honestly - they wrapped up season 1 perfectly. See more Patricia W 10/24/2023 I thought this was an excellent show. I can't for the life of me understand WHY they didn't renew it. Just 1 season...😔...that is very upsetting..I give it 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I can't believe I didn't know about it when it came out but at least I found it & have watched it now. Just Sooooo disappointing that there isn't more seasons💔. See more John S 07/26/2023 A spectacularly creative detective show that always trots out an interesting and original case every episode. The additional of an immortal protagonist is well done and leads to many beautifully heartfelt interpersonal plots. See more Read all reviews
