Review of Forever

Forever (2014–2015)
8/10
Versatile and thrilling series with some excessive moralization
10 December 2023
I had heard of this Series before, but as I am not too keen on supernatural elements in solving "worldly" crimes, I had somewhat forgotten about it... But last month I decided to try it out and I can state that I was generally pleased - thanks to pleasant performances and realistic crimes, above all. True, some months ago I had watched the Australian series Harrow, with Ioan Gruffudd in a similar role, which was a kind of constraining factor in the beginning, but I soon got over it :) The intrigues, chemistry between characters, giggling moments, high values were present, decreasing the impact of moments when viewers have to see autopsies... Flashbacks into events happening and persons lived centuries ago were also naturally included in the course of contemporary life.

Although I like productions where one can ponder on an over many aspects, there were moments when "good things in life" were emphasized too plainly - but this is often intrinsic to the U. S. "kind-hearted" movies and series.

The Series had its closure, but I would have not mind to watch another season - and I have read that a vast amount of viewers were unhappy about its cancellation.
