Where to Watch Unforgotten
Unforgotten Ratings & Reviews
- Callum7d ago⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Unforgotten – The Quiet Pursuit of Justice Unforgotten stands among the finest of British police procedurals — a masterclass in restraint, empathy, and endurance. It doesn’t need carf chases or high-tech forensics; its true weapon is time itself. Each case is cold — decades old, forgotten by most, but not by DCI Cassie Stuart (Nicola Walker) and DI Sunny Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar), whose quiet persistence gives the show its soul. Walker’s Cassie is haunted yet deeply humane, a detective whose empathy cuts as sharply as her intellect. Bhaskar’s Sunny balances her perfectly — steady, thoughtful, and quietly funny in the face of unrelenting sadness. Their partnership feels lived-in, forged through mutual respect and an understanding that justice rarely comes without cost. When Cassie departs and her successor steps in, the chemistry shifts but never falters — the show’s core remains intact. Every episode is an excavation — not just of old bones, but of guilt, trauma, and time’s long shadow. Topics like abuse, racism, and loss are treated with rare dignity; justice here is never pure, and closure never complete. The tone sits midway between the Blue Lights grit and Death in Paradise’s warmth — closer to the darkness, but never without that British glimmer of humanity that keeps it grounded. ☕ Best paired with a strong black tea — comforting, steady, and a little bitter — the perfect companion to a show that finds hope in the ashes of regret.
