What really impressed me was the discipline in the writing. Every action, every plot development and revelation felt organic, emerging inevitably from character and circumstance, not laziness or expedience Go to Full Review Chris Bennion Daily Telegraph (UK) 04/18/2019

ITV's solid crime drama, though easy to admire, is hard to love Go to Full Review Gerard O'Donovan Daily Telegraph (UK) 04/18/2019
3/5
That it never toppled fully into crime drama déjà vu was thanks to the strong, multi-stranded storytelling style of writer Chris Lang, who kept a swarm of supporting characters buzzing around on the sidelines. Go to Full Review Neela Debnath Daily Express (UK) 04/18/2019
Unforgotten remains compelling both the police procedural element and the sheer human drama between the suspects and their families. Go to Full Review Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) 04/18/2019

That was a telling scene but we didn't spend six weeks watching Unforgotten to be given nothing more than hints of the truth. Go to Full Review Alison Graham Radio Times 04/18/2019
This wonderfully human, and humane, crime drama ends with a haunting and moving episode, an essay in the corrosive power of secrets that have been secret for too long. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Debra T. @DebraT Nov 26 So engrossing. Unfolded brilliantly and all characters were flushed out just enough. Not obvious. Terrific ending. See more Bill C Sep 18 The first season is good, but it is developing the characters and general narative form for seasons two and three. See more Per S Apr 15 Forget Cold Case and C.S.I. and other shallow TV shows about retrospective murder investigation and forensic police work. Unforgotten goes much deeper, with real characters and in a quite realistic manner, revealing layer by layer, and by letting the viewer do some thinking. At least the two first seasons are very engaging. See more Evelyn T Feb 10 I really looked forward to the start of a new season of 'Unforgotten'. Finding a body in an old house, or dumped in a remote place or container, and then to follow the team to discover how it got there and who did it, gave the programme a haunting quality that was compelling to watch. But last night's programme was disappointing and, quite frankly, boring! Slow and too political, I switched to another channel and watched instead a real life murder documentary. See more DMC M 09/14/2024 Every time I watch a series from the UK like this one I'm reminded that they have THE best actors. This is a great series. See more Mike741776 02/21/2024 Shows like this are why we watch TV. Great stories and writing, great acting. Binge worthy. See more Read all reviews
