Enigmatic former detective Carrie Wells (Poppy Montgomery) has a rare condition that won't let her forget anything, which complicates things when she is brought in to consult on a case for a team led by her ex-boyfriend, Detective Al Burns (Dylan Walsh). Despite her feelings about Al, it seems right to be investigating homicides, and she decides to take up the shield again and join his unit permanently. Wells hopes that along the way, the unit will be able to help her solve her sister's unsolved murder.

More tedious than compelling, Unforgettable is yet another lukewarm procedural.

Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times Unfortunately, if you name a show "Unforgettable" you really need to deliver, and the pilot just doesn't. Sep 20, 2011 Full Review Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter This one is particularly tedious. Sep 20, 2011 Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Wait. I forgot. Oh yeah - no, not hooked on this generic-looking crime-solver. Rated: C Sep 20, 2011 Full Review Kari Croop Common Sense Media Illustrating the concept of hyperthymesia presents a challenge, because it requires a lot of replay of a scene in excruciating detail to prove that Carrie, But, it gets a bit tiresome, and the show is ultimately unmemorable. Oct 22, 2018 Full Review Jessica Johnson Time Out Chicago Unforgettable fails to do anything but deliver a run-of-the-mill cop show with a slight gimmick. Jul 2, 2018 Full Review Lily Moayeri Under the Radar Unforgettable's attempts at un-procedural-izing the procedural cop show work for the most part.

Evelyn T Sorry! wrong programme. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/25 Full Review Naren S Too much focus on Carrie's hair...wherever she is, there is highlight on her hair, even in a dark room or normal office space. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/23 Full Review Malena P Smart serie, good character Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/23 Full Review harris r I finally figured it out. Something about this show had an annoying tic, and I couldn't put my finger on it. Well, I finally figured it out. Think; you just changed your babies diaper, and all of a sudden you hear a giggle, then they get all serious, stare into space, and do a little pucker thing with their lips. They are peeing! THAT is the look the beautiful Poppy Montgomery makes when she's remembering a detail. And I just can't get past that. It's a decent idea/concept, but going up against the likes of The Mentalist, this starts to look like a comedy. Great performances, decent directing, but there's nothing new and different in the stories of similar shows. Then add that look... I can't watch this show any more. It's a generous 5/10 from me. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Very good show. Better than most cop shows by having the interesting memory ability, though still is a little repetitive, it has good performances from Montgomery and Walsh. There's room for improvement, which hopefully they see and work towards. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
