highly underrated show!
it's written cleverly and keeps entertaining unlike other shows that get boring over time.
the character development is good.. particularly of the main character where they show his past!
it's just like The Mentalist which has a main story line which continues in the background while at the same time every episode has a new case.
this show has a lot of potential and i hope it gets renewed for a second season.
i think it deserves it.

I wish TV companies would stop cancelling good shows!

Best this year

Does anyone remember the show "New Amsterdam"? https://trakt.tv/show/new-amsterdam.
It had a very similar premise. Dude turned immortal by magic, after being killed defending people from racists. He now chills in New York with his old man son, who knows he's immortal. Also he fights crime.

New Amsterdam sucked though, and this looks promising.

I'd call it out as a rip off, but apparently New Amsterdam was itself a rip off of a book. Called Forever. http://www.buddytv.com/articles/new-amsterdam/is-foxs-new-amsterdam-a-knocko-10487.aspx

The TV show Forever is not based on the book Forever. The creator of TV Forever claims he thought it up. http://www.zap2it.com/blogs/forever_ioan_gruffudd_new_amsterdam_matt_miller_tca-2014-07

Also, the book Forever people are currently developing the story for TV and have been shopping that idea around for a while, nearly selling to ABC. http://variety.com/2012/tv/news/hamill-novel-forever-to-become-tv-series-1118057471/
So it is possible that TV Forever will have to change it's name because book TV Forever will probably have more rights to the name. http://deadline.com/2014/05/warner-bros-tv-forever-abc-letter-novel-pete-hamill-734336/

But then people will call book TV Forever a rip off of TV Forever, which is a rip off of New Amsterdam, a rip off of book Forever. So book TV Forever will probably change it's name, and fans of book Forever will hear about it being on TV, watch TV Forever and think it is a shitty adaption, missing real book TV Forever.

At this point everyone will be so confused they will be swallowed into a abyss of confusion and be lost Forever.

Just read ABC cancelled Forever. no season 2.........What a shame...:( I truly loved this show..

Extremely upset with ABC for cancelling “Forever”. Hopefully Hulu or Netflix will see what a great show this could be and pick it up.

easily best show of the year

Although most things got tied up in the season 1 finale, I'm still sad to see this show go. Potential new viewers should know that it has been cancelled.

This show will probably never reach extraordinary levels, but it's still capable of gaining the watcher's loyalty. Hope it sticks around for a while, it's kind of a weekly cheesy safe place.

It was quite unfair that this show got cancelled. Still one of my favorite shows.

I still haven't lost hope of a possible reboot

This show is absolutely LEGENDARY!!!
