Dr. Henry Morgan is a New York City medical examiner who studies the dead for criminal cases, and to solve the mystery of his own immortality. He doesn't just study the dead to solve criminal cases, he does it to solve the mystery that has eluded him for 200 years: the answer to his own inexplicable immortality.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
