Unforgettable Season 1
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Although i enjoyed most aspects of this show, I didn’t go for Season 2 because the main female lead is too smart ass for me. She always goes her own way, no matter how it might affect the other people she is supposed to be teamed with or how much danger she creates for herself by this behavior. I would say “not a good team player, does not work well with others” sums her up pretty thoroughly.
She is tough and capable as a character, but this one aspect of her personality is such a turn off for me because of its consistency and foolhardiness, I have decided to forgo the rest of the series. If you don’t mind this type of performance, then the other aspects of the series, such as the writing and the stories each week are engaging.

This is an amazingly entertaining, captivating and unique police show that could also be called a science fiction show. Poppy Montgomery plays a police detective who has a unique ability that not only allows her to solve crimes, but thanks to her unique ability, allows the viewers to get to know her as a person.
In a typical police show the investigators little by little narrow down the list of suspects using logic and interviewing possible perpetrators, until finally the evidence leads to an arrest, but we rarely get to know anything about the investigators as people. In this show, we get to see how Poppy Montgomery’s character figures out who the guilty party is by using her unique, science fiction ability and her intelligence to eliminate suspects until she zeroes in on the guilty party. Even better, along the way, we get to know her as a person.
Anyone who has seen Poppy Montgomery in the first two seasons of Without a Trace walks away from the show without knowing anything about her character. Like the other detectives on Without a Trace she is simply reciting lines. There is nothing special or remarkable about her. We never have the opportunity to get to know her as a person. On Unforgettable we get to know everything about Poppy Montgomery’s personality which comes to life, which is such a pleasure. She actually becomes a real person on this amazing show, thanks to her unique science fiction ability. She becomes someone anyone would love to know and be with.
The producers of the show did a magnificent job and Poppy Montgomery has the talent to pull it off. This is easily one of the best TV shows I’ve ever seen.
I can’t wait to see the next seasons.

Normally I hate cop dramas with an established ongoing storyline especially from CBS. The main character on this show however is interesting and the story has a good pace interjecting moments of her ongoing quest without ruining the pace of the individual episode. Montgomery’s main character is anything but infallible both professionally and personally. Although the nature of her perfect memory main undermine the show later on at the onset it is a very fascinating concept sure to make everyone who watches it insanely jealous while still showing that it can erode at her mental stability. Great show to keep an eye on!
