The Forgotten is about a group of volunteers, who try to identify the nameless victims after the police have had to give up on the case. There are groups of volunteers all over USA and our story focuses on the group led by Alex Donovan (Christian Slater), an ex cop.
Alex’s daughter has been kidnapped 2 years ago. Alex still doesn’t have a clue what happened to her. So he helps other families- by identifying the victims and notifying the parents/relatives/loved ones. One way or the other, they will know and the guilty will face the trial.
Alex has 4 other friends in his group: Lindsey, Walter, Tyler and Candace.
Lindsey (Heather Stephens) has had a similar situation with her husband.
Candace (Michelle Borth) doesn’t like her job and this gives her a sense of purpose.
Walter (Bob Stephenson) likes to play detective.
Tyler (Anthony Carrigan) is a sculptor and he uses his art to help find more about the victim.
Their other co-star is Rochelle Aytes, playing Detective Grace Russell. Grace is Alex’s contact at the police department.
If you like to play detective and love watching cases get solved despite the bumps in the road- like your characters to succeed, but have a lot twists and turns in the meantime, you might like this show. I loved it. It will also help to be a Christian Slater fan.
Just like every show, there will be lots of mixed reactions. Why don’t you give it a try and see how you feel about it?
Note: I heard that ABC has canceled the show. Fingers crossed it is just a rumor. Because it is fun and exciting to watch. And if it is true, you still have 15 episodes to enjoy.
