The revelation is played brilliantly and I am happy that each Unforgotten series has its own flavour, so we are kept guessing until the very last. Go to Full Review

5/5
It is beautifully crafted and performed; tight, gripping, but also moving and so very human. Now that the World Cup's over, there is no better drama on television than Unforgotten. Go to Full Review
Debi Enker The Age (Australia) 04/09/2019
Written by Chris Lang, the series is distinguished by the attention given to the grief suffered by those who have lost loved ones in circumstances that remain unexplained. Go to Full Review

Mike K @Mike63 02/28/2025 It is late, but just watched the series. A retirement party and a happy sendoff seeing a member of the cast depart would have been a nice finale. Instead the audience gets treated to a senseless and tragic finish. In this time of war, economic worries, and generally bad news from legacy media, this entertainment chose not to offer a bit of positivity, even if, after all, just fictional. But, isn't so much of supposed "real news" fiction? See more Gary K 02/03/2025 The best series so far. The story was simpler, the storylines of the suspects not quite so out of the ordinary, which I think the series as a whole benefitted from. See more MrTimCypher P 06/23/2024 This is a stunning piece of television drama featuring genuine world class performances and scenes when the killer is finally revealed. I cannot recommend this highly enough! See more Steve W @Whiteysteve 02/08/2023 Just found series 3 in 2023 in Canada. Can't. Wait. For. Each week's episode!!!! Now need to find the other seasons as coming to end tonight!! Great British crime show, with amazing characters, and suspense. See more 08/05/2021 This is simply the best series on tv. Nothing else to say. See more 06/03/2021 (español / Enflish) Una paleontología del crimen Sumario Si bien exhibe ciertas reiteraciones en su esquema narrativo respecto de las temporadas anteriores, Unforgotten sigue siendo una serie elegante que continúa intrigando y atrapando por la precisa descripción de sus personajes, las dificultades que agrega al trabajo detectivesco (con su reapertura y tarea de paleoinvestigación sobre casos cerrados oportunamente caratulados como desapariciones, dada la ausencia de cuerpo del delito), sus grandes actuaciones y el carisma de la pareja protagónica de detectives. Reseña Un esqueleto es hallado en una excavación al costado de una autopista de Londres, y los detectives Cassie Stuart (Nicola Walker) y Sunil Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar) son convocados para investigar el caso. Así como Mare of Easton retoma elementos de Happy Valley, es innegable la filiación de Unforgotten con la legendaria y fundante serie policial Prime Suspect que protagonizaba Helen Mirren, con su profundización en la psicología de los policías y los sospechosos, sus abundantes y tensas escenas de interrogatorios y la prácticamente total ausencia de armas de fuego. Ya el primer capítulo despliega un casi abrumador abanico de personajes aparentemente desconectados entre sí, para luego irse develando sus nexos en los siguientes, en una estructura clásica de este tipo de policiales y que en esta serie en particular remite a circunstancias que se remontan a un pasado de varios años atrás. Esto agrega complejidad a la trama, ya que las circunstancias de cada personaje en general han cambiado desde el momento del crimen: exesposas y esposas actuales, cambios laborales, hijos e hijas que crecieron, amigos que han perdido el contacto con el correr del tiempo. Y, por supuesto, añade muchas dificultades al trabajo detectivesco, un verdadero trabajo de reapertura y de paleoinvestigación sobre casos cerrados oportunamente caratulados como desapariciones, dada la ausencia de cuerpo del delito. En este caso los sospechosos pertenecen a diferentes extractos sociales y disímiles ocupaciones, con situaciones personales que van del fracaso y la precariedad a la notoriedad y el éxito. El asesino se revelará como un personaje frío y temible, con una actuación ciertamente perturbadora por parte de su intérprete. En cuanto a las problemáticas familiares de ambos detectives, siguen presentes, pero en un grado menor que en temporadas anteriores. En suma, si bien exhibe ciertas reiteraciones en su esquema narrativo respecto de temporadas anteriores, Unforgotten continúa siendo una serie elegante que continúa intrigando y atrapando por la precisa descripción de sus personajes, sus grandes actuaciones y el carisma de la pareja protagónica, en particular de Nicola Walker, una actriz con muchos recursos, pero también con varios tics actorales que a medida que pasa el tiempo sabe mejor cómo controlar, ganando en sobriedad y contundencia. A paleontology of crime Summary Although it exhibits certain reiterations in its narrative scheme with respect to previous seasons , Unforgotten continues to be an elegant series that continues to intrigue and captivate due to the precise description of its characters, the difficulties it adds to the detective work (with its reopening and task of paleo-investigation on closed cases opportunely labeled as disappearances , given the absence of a corpus delicti), their great performances and the charisma of the leading couple of detectives. Review A skeleton is found in an excavation on the side of a London motorway, and detectives Cassie Stuart (Nicola Walker) and Sunil Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar) are summoned to investigate the case. Just as Mare of Easton picks up elements from Happy Valley, Unforgotten's affiliation with the legendary and founding crime series Prime Suspect starring Helen Mirren is undeniable, with her delving into the psychology of policemen and suspects, her abundant and tense scenes from interrogations and the practically total absence of firearms. Already the first chapter displays an almost overwhelming range of characters apparently disconnected from each other, to later reveal their links in the following, in a classic structure of this type of police force and that in this particular series refers to circumstances that go back to a past several years ago. This adds complexity to the plot, as the circumstances of each character in general have changed since the time of the crime: current ex-wives and wives, job changes, sons and daughters who grew up, friends who have lost touch over time. And, of course, it adds many difficulties to detective work, a true reopening and paleo-investigation work on closed cases opportunely labeled as disappearances, given the absence of corpus delicti. In this case, the suspects belong to different social backgrounds and dissimilar occupations, with personal situations that range from failure and precariousness to notoriety and success. The murderer will be revealed as a cold and fearsome character, with a truly disturbing performance by the performer of him. As for the family problems of both detectives, they are still present, but to a lesser degree than in previous seasons. In sum, although it exhibits certain reiterations in its narrative scheme with respect to previous seasons, Unforgotten continues to be an elegant series that continues to intrigue and captivate due to the precise description of its characters, its great performances and the charisma of the leading couple, in particular of Nicola Walker, an actress with many resources, but also with several acting tics that as time passes she knows better how to control, gaining in sobriety and forcefulness.
