I caught the premiere of ABC's new series Forever tonight. Honestly they're going to need a lot of work to make this one differ much from previous shows about immortals. It already looks like it will contain the classic elements, namely the hero getting badly mangled or killed each episode, and the inevitable flashbacks to his past. You'd think someone could do something different with the concept, like say have it revolve around those who have just become immortal and all the things they go through as they slowly realise what it all really means. Of course there's a good chance it will get six episodes and be cancelled.
Addenda: Oops, I didn't know this show has been on the air for a while. This shows you how much attention I pay to network TV these days.
