Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Forever is an Urban Fantasy Police Procedural starring Ioan Gruffudd and Alana de la Garza that aired on ABC for the 2014-15 Fall-Spring season.Gruffudd stars as Dr. Henry Morgan, New York City's chief medical examiner, who is actually over two hundred years old—whenever he dies, he wakes up shortly afterward in a nearby body of water, for some reason. After two hundred years, though, he just wants to grow old and actually die. In 2014, he crosses paths with Detective Jo Martinez (de la Garza) as she investigates a subway crash that killed fifteen people—Henry included. When he helps solve the case, she requests him as the M.E. attached to her cases, and so They Fight Crime!.The series wasn't renewed by ABC for a second season, and despite a loyal fan campaign to drum up interest in the show, it ultimately was not picked up by another network or a digital service. However, the complete series was released to DVD as a part of the Warner Archive Collection in 2016.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with the 2018 dramedy series of the same name.

Always Murder

Always Murder: Lampshaded in "6 A.M.", where Detective Hanson says the odds that Henry will declare a death as a murder is a sucker bet, because Henry always says that it's murder. Still, it's subverted in two episodes: one where it was a suicide that unintentionally looked like a murder, and one where the "victim" was not actually dead — and who was in fact the mastermind of the events. Zig-zagged in the opening of one episode where the case of a random victim with an ax in his forehead looks like a clear murder but Henry rules it an accidental death (the guy fell off his roof and the ax fell down after him, Henry's Sherlock Scan determines), and the next case is a supposed bridge jumper whose death looks like a suicide but Henry determines she was murdered.

Abhorrent Admirer: The mysterious caller, Adam, is a killer who claims to be a "fan" of Henry's. The Frenchman is a female antique dealer who apparently fancies Abe, but he's creeped out by her.

Achilles' Heel: Adam believes that only the weapons used to first kill the immortals (a Roman dagger for himself and a flintlock pistol for Henry) will make them Killed Off for Real Subverted: turns out he was mistaken.

Running Gag

Abe assumes that "the Asian kid" with a tattoo and baseball cap who was in the store stole a missing statue, and that he's come back to steal again. In actuality, the kid is an avid fan of antiques and was moving the vase he's holding to a place he believes better suits it; he similarly moved the statue inside a chest, because (as Henry kept insisting) it's fake and hideous.
