Imborrable

Because this is such an interesting premise (a woman uses her memory as a means to solve crimes), I decided to at least watch the pilot. Unfortunately, here is a show that doesn't translate from paper to TV screen. Somehow, the characters and story just never gel. Poppy Montgomery doesn't bring any of her acting talent from "Without a Trace" with her. But then again, that was just a role played opposite other actors. Unforgettable is inaptly titled: there's nothing here worth remembering, or to make me want to watch a second episode. I'd be surprised if this lasted even a full season.

3 out of 10

7/31:

This show goes from cancellation to renewal? Makes no sense at all.

If you watch all 4 seasons like me and get to the last episode, Paranoid Android, you will be so peed off you ever started watching this, believe me. The ending just leaves you wanting to find out what happened but in the knowledge you never will. A bit like considering buying a book with the last chapter missing, you just wouldn't buy it would you!

Watch something else!

I actually really really loved the concept of this show and am a huge fan of Poppy -- she is perfect for the part. I like how she has this out of body experience (which it really isn't). It just shows you how she puts her theory together by using her fantastic flawless memory - I will continue watching this show - CBS needs to give this show a chance bc its totally different from any other detective series. I also like her backstory about her sister Rachael - it shows how vulnerable Carrie's character is and why she is not anxious becoming a detective again. But, w/her abilities of course she would help out a lot. I also like the whole cast, Dylan Walsh is perfect as her ex boyfriend/partner -- ppl need to give this show a chance and not give up so easily, bc it will progress and become even more interesting.

Great characters and fun cases each episode. Two leads are fantastic. They have great chemistry and the will they/won't they tension adds to the fun of the show. Loved seeing Jane Curtain in this too. I really enjoyed it and would watch again.

Difficult scoring as the program is excellent, I really enjoy the idea of it but the main character is the most annoying person I have ever seen! Her memory skills are amazing and makes for good twists in the story however her attitude and the way she is always right and dismisses people is unbelievable, rude and quite frankly unrealistic. The writers have tried to give her some faults (gambling and being a maverick) to make her more human but fail miserably.

Even with her memory she wouldn't be right this often and why should having a flawless memory mean you can do whatever you want without consequence?

The concept would get a 10 but the main character would get a 2 (and that's generous)in the scoring.
