    Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
    Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
    NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
    Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
    Ole Sandbaek Joergensen The premise for this was great and I hoped there would be more, but since the eight episodes in 2007/2008 nothing more came, so it was a short lived series and have now been overtaken by a new series with much the same premise "forever", it is not a detective like in this one, but a coroner acting like a detective.The reason I like this series was the fact that there could be and was in the eight episodes the back and forth in time, the series would have the possibility to have episodes that showed more of past time, then the present and that could be quit cool.It was a very nice down to earth and close to the streets kind of police series, the acting worked and would have made it an okay series to watch all-in-all.
    Vic_max This show started off sounding great, but its only real strength seems to lie in the novelty aspect of the lead character. The acting and stories are a bit soft.The show is about a 400 year old man who doesn't seem to age past his 30s. He's a police detective in New York and is destined to immortality until a particular circumstance arises.OK - that sounds pretty cool. It was totally cool until we learn that the special condition was that he won't regain his mortality until he "weds" his one true love ("their souls are wed"). That sounds a bit cheesy.Another issue is that the episodes aren't very memorable. The only interesting parts are bits that involve his immortality (his children, his past, etc). I can recall those little snippets, but can hardly remember the previous week's episode. The story-telling isn't very compelling.If you're a sci-fi/fantasy fan, check out an episode or two and see what you think. If you're like me, it's worth watching, but just barely. If you're only in the market for an all-around good TV show, look elsewhere.
    godzillandg While it's not my favorite show out there it is quickly becoming one of the must see on my list. The story may be an old one but then again there are only thirty-six basic plots and how you twist and mesh them is how you tell if something is great.We have the possibility for a love triangle. Those are getting really old, but since this is a new series and we have no idea who these people are, it works.We have an immortal who wants to die, as some others have said, very Highlander. But since there isn't anyone running around with swords chopping heads off. And also he can have children. I don't think it resembles that to much.And a cop show. Nuf said.Now lets look at every other show out there. Do we like cop shows? Hhmmmm. Let's see we have three CSI's, three Law & Order's, Criminal Minds, NCIS, Without a Trace, Cold Case... Yeah, I think that we like crime shows. Immortals? Not to many shows out there with Immortals... so kudos to them. Love triangles? I don't like them personally but as I said before. This is a new show with new people, I'll deal. And besides they haven't even gone into the love triangle so I'll live.I hope that this show gets a good run. Maybe five seasons, anymore than that and it might get tired. But this is an amazing show and I hope I've said as much. Give the show a try, it's magic.
    wevemoved After 10 minutes of episode two and learning the Omar relationship? I don't know how to specify 'spoilers' but wow, that blew me away.This show resembles Highlander but all shows resemble something else, Dead Zone led to Ghost Whisperers and Medium, cops shows are the same, this has some potential. It was nice to see more of the past.The pilot did not get great reviews but other time travel shows I liked, Daybreak and Journeyman did not either. They got better as they went along. I don't think this will make it past the first year but I really liked it after two episodes. Him making the desk in the pilot was a nice touch.
