Review of Forever

Forever (2014–2015)
6/10
Brings nothing new and is not nearly as good as its predecessors.
9 November 2014
This show is seemingly trying to be everything - a drama, an action, a thrilling sci-fi - and ends up being nothing. Well maybe that's my fault for expecting something completely different. I hate that people are comparing it to Sherlock - excuse me, but Sherlock with Cumberbatch is wayyy better! What's with the immortality? I thought it would be something the show would revolve around, instead, it seems to be put into the plot just to grab attention and left unsolved. Gruffudd is a charming lead and I think he's a smart actor but it's just not enough for this show. I feel like I'm watching a lame detective series from the 80's with a moral of the story at the end of each episode. Plus the female detective is so annoying. In conclusion, nothing fresh and not as good as series that have already been introduced.
