A Review of ABC’s The Forgotten featuring Christian Slater


The Series premiere of ABC’s The Forgotten premiered this week. The concept behind this ABC TV series The Forgotten is a great idea. A group of volunteers nationwide help the police with identifying Jane and John Does once the trail becomes cold and the police must focus on newer cases.

Unfortunately, it was extremely painful to watch this show. I didn’t find any of the main characters appealing or worth watching. Choosing Christian Slater as the lead character was a mistake; he just doesn’t have any depth. I didn’t connect with him at all. Which was worse the writing or the acting in this show? I’m still trying to figure that one out.

Even though, Jerry Bruckheimer has been extremely successful in the past. If this episode was any indication of how the season will be I don’t think it will be around for long.

I would have to give ABC’s The Forgotten an “F” for failing miserably.
