A refreshing new series in a sea of copy cat cop shows. hide show
I am only 3 episodes in, but I am enjoying this new show. It's not your typical police-investigation-drama show, which are so cookie-cutter these days it's getting sad. The main characters are regular people, save for one ex-cop, who investigate on their own. And the network provides them with people of all walks of life, who are experts in their own way on so many different subjects.
For instance, the guy who knew about the shape of the odd box in episode 2. Cops deal mostly with databases, and unless there is a huge box database, they probably would never have found out about it. By appealing to the general public they may have, but that always brings in so many tips, that it takes way too long to weed through them. Not to mention the # of people they would have to pay to go through the tips.
Every member of the forgotten network has their own reason for joining. Some suffered a tragedy, or other loss. And all have a story that I'm looking forward to learning. This also makes it relatively easy to add people to the network, and take them away, if necessary. I hope this lasts.
A mix of insights, information and a positive look sorely needed in the plethora of today's dark TV shows. hide show
I really like this show. I like the premise that people watch out for one another and that even from the grave, people look back at their lives. The premise of this show is based on the reality that police departments world-wide are usually low on budget, high on cases to solve. The truth of the matter is with a limited budget comes hard decisions about how many man hours are spent on any given case. Media involvement will push any homicide to the top of the list. An unidentified body will only stay in the hearts of those who bond with it. We HAVE seen detectives spend their careers trying to solve that ONE crime that was full of dead ends. The truth is at some point detectives learn to move on and solve the cases that can be solved. Enter people who's lives have been dramatically altered. Their passion is inspired and their time is free. No one is telling them they have to give up on a case because there are 20 more waiting. They desire to put their knowledge to use in a way that is helpful to others; to provide answers they may not have been able to find for themselves.
As of yet (10-27-2009), "The Forgotten" may not be the best-written show, but the team of actors blend very well together. They are believable and they make their premise believable. They are not glittery representations of Hollywood icons, they look and act like you or me and quite frankly I prefer this to flashy shows like the CSI brand. This hometown feel attracts me to the show and is what makes me want to watch it week after week - to be with this family of characters. I'm also an information junkie. Any show that can give me more information about things I don't know or ways to do things I'm not familiar with is of great benefit to me. I like knowing the most efficient way to get things done when it looks like there is no clear path of where to start. The show may be predictable, but I'm not an adrenaline junkie; I don't require a constant fix of over-the-top emotional pulls and jerks. I like to watch things that leave me feeling good and with hope for the future. If you are sick of all the heavy, dark, low vibrational shows out there aimed at bringing in an already overly stimulated audience you might very well enjoy this show. If you like shows in which the cast and story present a united "family-like" front and leave you feeling a little better than you did before you turned the TV on, I think you'll find it here. These characters have plenty of room to grow and plenty of heart to share. "The Forgotten" is a show I'll be watching from start to finish.
People willing to do anything and everything to identify unknown deceased people. Everyday people helping law enforcement to bring John & Jane Doe home to their loved ones. Everyday heroes from everywhere working together for the common good. hide show
I love, love, love this show. I'm also glad that they finally found a TV Series worth Christian's talents. It has a great cast, made of people that I want to keep watching. I wish they would put The Forgotten in Fast Forward's place. The Forgotten triumphs Fast Forward by leaps and bounds. Find this show a great time slot, PLEASE! A place to find more viewers. Since we lost Without a Trace and some other crime shows, this is a great replacement. This is even better since it's everyday people trying to solve the mysteries that the cops either can't or won't. Great stories that keep me interested. I hope the powers that be keep this one around. I want to learn more about their process and more about the lives of these unknown volunteer heroes.
"the forgotten" is "Cold Case" for civilians, but the characters seem like real people that I'd like to know. Finding the identity of the victim is the prime thing in the show, but the mystery surrounding the death is solved along the way. hide show
"the forgotten" has the same feel as "Cold Case", but with the added humanity of regular people solving the cases. I think the cast is great. It's usually the stars that attract me to a show, then it's the characters and their interaction that keeps me coming back. The storyline is important but if I don't like the main characters, then I don't come back. The team is likable together and as individuals; they are believable and fit the show. I hope the show gets a chance to find its audience; sometimes the networks are much too quick to cancel.
