This is a new show, this season.

I find it very satisfying. Good acting, artistic filming esp the historical flashbacks. Good scripts.

Even though the basic premise is not new, it is well done anyway.
I like the weaving of the past with present. I like the antique angle as well. (as I collect some vintage medical items myself!)

All the main actors are seasoned, and have been in other popular shows. So they should look familiar to most people.
Judd Hirsch is especially fine, IMO on this show!

I am wondering now, if it will go stale soon. But so far I am enjoying it. Resurrection is another show I enjoy alot. And Good Wife is quite well done this season too.

P.S. and unlike Elementary... you can understand what these actors are saying! Elementary (a Sherlock spin off), has whispering, and mumbling all thru the dialogue. And both of the male leads in each show are Brits too. So it is a pleasure to watch Forever. I might just drop Elementary all together.
