USA TodayRobert BiancoSep 22, 2014
Season 1 Review: They need to put a bit more thought into the mysteries themselves, which lean toward the clunky. But the appeal of the stars and the premise should buy them some time. Read full review

NewsdayVerne GaySep 19, 2014
Season 1 Review: Forever isn't betting the future on plot mechanics, however, but on chemistry and that obscure object of desire called "sex appeal." These leads have it--in spades. Read full review

PopMattersMichael LandweberSep 24, 2014
Season 1 Review: Everything in the first episode suggests that Forever has a better shot at successfully combining procedural conventions and a high-concept than, say, Intelligence or Almost Human. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMatt RoushSep 22, 2014
Season 1 Review: The mysteries he and Martinez tackle are rather pro forma, but that's not what tends to keep shows like Castle and Bones on the air season after season. It's more about enjoying being in the company of these charismatic characters, and there's strong chemistry between the debonair Gruffudd and the earthy De La Garza. Read full review

Newark Star-LedgerVicki HymanSep 22, 2014
Season 1 Review: Gruffudd's characterization is a bit uneven; sometimes he's gruff and aloof and still pining over the loss of his World War II-era love, yet he's able to turn on the charm when he wants to. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Forever isn’t the freshest new show this fall, but its classiness is appreciated. Read full review
