Forever (2014)

Forever (2014) — Crime / Drama / Fantasy Henry Morgan is a charming, wry medical examiner in New York City who hides an impossible secret: he’s been alive for 200 years. Whenever he dies he mysteriously returns to life, naked, in the nearest body of water, and for two centuries he has been trying to unravel the “curse” of his immortality. By day he helps Detective Jo Martinez solve grisly murders at the NYPD morgue; by night he chases clues about his past with the reluctant help of his son Abraham and a small handful of others who know the truth. Watching Forever you’ll get a blend of procedural crime drama and serialized mystery. Each episode delivers a self-contained homicide investigation anchored by Henry’s forensic expertise, while flashbacks to different eras reveal pieces of his long life and the relationships that shaped him. The show balances dark, suspenseful cases with dry humor, tender character moments, and recurring romantic and ethical dilemmas as Henry weighs the cost of endless life against the possibility of a cure. Expect thoughtful, character-driven storytelling: Detective Jo’s curiosity and moral compass collide with Henry’s guarded nature; Abe’s pragmatic attempts to “monetize” Henry’s condition create both levity and tension; and occasional older figures hint at a larger mythos. Overall, Forever offers a mix of mystery, historical vignettes, emotional stakes, and lighthearted banter — appealing to viewers who like crime procedurals with a supernatural, philosophical twist.
