Unforgettable is an American police procedural crime drama television series that premiered on CBS on September 20, 2011. [1] Unforgettable was developed by Ed Redlich and John Bellucci, and stars Poppy Montgomery as Detective Carrie Wells, a police detective with an unusually detailed and photographic memory.
After being canceled twice by CBS, Unforgettable was picked up by A&E for a fourth season. [2] The season premiered on November 27, 2015, with two back-to-back episodes. [3] In February 2016, A&E cancelled the show. [4]
Former Syracuse, New York, police detective Carrie Wells has hyperthymesia, a rare medical condition that gives her the ability to visually remember everything. [5] She reluctantly joins the New York City Police Department's Queens homicide unit after her former boyfriend and partner, Lieutenant Al Burns, asks for help with solving a case. The move allows her to try to find out the one thing she has been unable to remember, which is what happened the day her sister was murdered.
For a time, the series had an opening monologue narrated by lead actress Poppy Montgomery. The narration was as follows:
I'm Carrie Wells. Only a few people in the world have the ability to remember everything—I'm one of them. Pick any day of my life, and I can tell you what I saw or heard: faces, conversations, clues; which comes in handy when you're a cop. If I miss something the first time, it's okay. I can go back and look again. My life ... is unforgettable.

[25] On Metacritic season 1 has a score of 59/100 based on 23 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews". [26]
Unforgettable was nominated for a People's Choice Award for Favorite New TV Drama in 2011. [27]
