I was so excited that ABC showed this on their website early. This is the one show I was actually really excited to see this year, and it did not disappoint.
So the whole "guy that lives forever" thing is interesting enough as it is and I think they pulled it off really really well. They show him die in these spectacular, exciting ways. The first one that we see is him getting into a subway crash. Then he is reborn in the water and comes out naked every time. This is the main character btw, Henry Morgan. Only one other person knows his secret and at the end of the episode, we get to see who this man is and find out why he is the person that knows Henry's Secret. And its actually really sweet, I don't want to spoil it but its a nice little touch that they added to the episode.
It's also a crime show as well though. Henry is a medical examiner and he meets a detective/ pretty lady that is trying to solve what happened on this subway. If it was a homicide or if it was just an accident. Henry finds out that it was a homicide and then he does a lot of sherlocky observations to prove that that was it. He also researches death as a hobby because he's obviously fascinated by it, its the one thing that he can't have! And he has a room and a journal documenting different ways to die.
The characters were all really interesting too. There wasn't a time in the show when I was bored at all, it was just a very easy show to watch and a good show to like. It's not something I can see myself ever being like "okay that was fun but I don't really want to watch any more of it." It's something I'll definitely keep on watching. Really good.
My only complaint is just something that bothers me because I know about writing tv. It was just too easy. Like we can just accept the fact that he knows all of these things because he's lived forever. It's just a little too easy and they don't fully earn every moment on the show. That being said, it did earn most of the moments and I think throughout the series it will get more and more interesting and the stories will be more complex. It has a lot of potential.
I would definitely recommend watching it now if you want to... but the ABC website really REALLY sucks for watching shows on. I would definitely watch it when it comes on tv, which I'll probably still do even though I've seen the episode already. Its a good show and I have a feeling there are going to be episodes that you'll want to see more than once.
Byeee!
