A team of dedicated amateurs work on cases involving unidentified victims. After the police have given up, this group must first solve the puzzle of the victim's identity in order to then help catch the killer. They work to give the deceased back their names, lest they become—The Forgotten. Christian Slater and Rochelle Aytes lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2009–2010. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry episodes where the mystery takes a breath — The Forgotten passes that test consistently. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they are after here — if CSI: NY is in your watch history, The Forgotten belongs there too. It works equally well as a long binge or episode-by-episode over a few weeks. The format gives you enough momentum to keep going without demanding that you sacrifice sleep on a Tuesday. The contained run means every episode has work to do, and the writers know it. Christian Slater's performance is the kind that shows up on best-of lists years after the fact. If you have been looking for something to fill the gap left by a recently finished series, this is a reliable answer.
