I think he was a cop in New Amsterdam. I thought he was a cop in Forever, too; maybe I'll watch it since he's an ME. I dunno; I think I've been over "immortal person blends into modern society, holds high level position despite lack of proper documents" for a while now.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I loved New Amsterdam. This definitely has some similarities - it made me think of it too.
eta: He does have documents - though "proper" would be a loose term. They keep making references to his degree from Guam, I think it was.
I never watched New Amsterdam.
I know it was only one episode, but I really enjoyed it. The side characters were integral to the plot resolution, a couple of tropes are being subverted, and the central mystery of why he's still alive is a complete mystery. I probably would never have watched it if it did come on after Agents of Shield, but I don't mind hanging in there after Agents is done.
But I'd appreciate a bigger break between the two. I need a bathroom/snack break.
My only problem is that every time they mention his name I get earwormed with "the lot it fell first upon Henry Morgan, the youngest of the three" ... which isn't too bad, but since I can't sing and don't remember anything after that verse, is annoying.
Hm, enough of you are enjoying Forever to make me think about giving it a watch. Like I need more TV, but I like whatshisname who will probably always be SMG's husband from that twin show to me. And I liked New Amsterdam

Oh, yeah, the show that wasn't Revenge. What was the name of it?? I was inrigued by it but never got around to watching it.
I think it was one of those one word titles? Not Revenge, not Scandal...anyway, I liked it well enough, but I loved the recaps that one of the Fug Girls used to do. So funny.
Ringer.
I think I watched the first one or two of that.
