Darn

My favorite Sherlock Holmes like show that was not about Sherlock Holmes is not coming back it seems.
I really enjoyed this show and though the lead character more Sherlockian than some other modern adaptations.

Here is what one site said about it's cancellation;

Forever

The story of the seemingly immortal Dr. Henry Morgan (Ioan Gruffudd), ABC's 'Forever' (2014-2015) blended poignancy, adventure, a hint of romance, and gentle transgenerational humor. Morgan, an MD working as a medical examiner in present-day Manhattan, uses his new profession to discover the secret of why he cannot die without being resurrected. This finely detailed, intelligent series attracted a dedicated fan base, but it could not survive erratic scheduling and minimal promotion.

Just my thoughts. . .

One of my favorite shows on TV this season is the crime drama ( and I guess SciFi ) 'Forever' starring Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd ( another name as hard to pronounce as Benedict Cumberbatch ).

It is a much better Sherlock Holmes type show than say 'Elementary' if you are looking for more of a traditional portrayal of a Holmes like character.





















And as a nod to the Canon, the producers of the show had Ioan's character spend some time in the 'Diogenes Club'.
Now the date of 1812 makes it a little before Mycroft's time, but if you follow the premise of the story, they could have met.

And let's not forget that Ioan and Benedict shared the screen in 'Amazing Grace' just a few years ago.
