They need to put a bit more thought into the mysteries themselves, which lean toward the clunky. But the appeal of the stars and the premise should buy them some time.

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.

A wonderful series. I looked at it in one breath, I'm waiting for the bosses from the WB to come to their senses and extend it for the next seasons!

This is the best television show in existence which only blessed its cast with one season.
Absolutely stellar performance and chemestry among the actors and a really beautiful story.

Forever is not a bad show--the pilot is pretty well made for what it is--but aspects of the premise feel awfully familiar.

Forever is an easy hour because Gruffudd (Horatio Hornblower) is a fine, quite likeable actor, and the mystery-of-the-week procedural continues to be candy for views.

Monday’s premiere has to work hard to get you to suspend disbelief, but the actual crimes, in both the Monday and Tuesday episodes, are well plotted. Gruffudd’s Morgan isn’t quite as much of a social misfit as Jonny Lee Miller’s Holmes on CBS, but he’s a good actor and pairs well with both de la Garza and Judd Hirsch.

Depends on how willing you are to suspend your disbelief that a man who's immortal couldn't find something else to do with his endless time than hanging around a morgue.

Forever comes off like a show a couple of drunks scribbled out on a cocktail napkin.

Great show, sad that they never finished the Story. Cast is Great, Acting is Great.

Great movie. The best in recent years. It is a pity that there is no second season.

An absolute treat to watch. I'm disappointed there was only one season. Would have loved to see more of it. I thoroughly enjoyed the first season. This show will forever be one of the best tv shows I've seen.

Score: 7.5 I still hate that they canceled this only after 1 season.... it had soo much potential
