Forever has been growing an audience for the past two weeks, and rightfully so. (5.6 million audience members last week, up to 6 million this week.) With consistent quality scripts, inviting characters, wonderful interplay between  Ioan Gruffudd (Fantastic Four) as Dr. Henry Morgan and Judd Hirsch (Taxi, Damages, Maron. Numb3rs) as Abe the show has heart and charm while solving crimes in New York City.

Thus far the episodes have been mostly episodic, for audience members who have not been tuning in each week it is fair to say you could tune in next week and not feel crippled because you are a first time viewer — that said, take the time to go back and view the four episodes that have aired so far.

Each has added depth to the characters, layers to the world they inhabit, and built the relationships between them.  The show is entirely watchable without these things, but you will not regret taking a chance on Forever.

Forever airs TUESDAYS @ 10|9c on ABC
