Unforgettable is an American crime series by Ed Redlich and John Bellucci with Poppy Montgomery in the lead role. It is based on the short story The Rememberer by J. Robert Lennon , published in 2008 . It's about Detective Carrie Wells, whose episodic memory is exceptionally well developed so that she can remember everything she's ever seen. The US premiere was on September 20, 2011 on CBS , the German-language premiere on May 8, 2012 on Glitz * .

After the series had already been canceled twice by CBS, in May 2012 after the first season and in October 2014 after the third season, the cable broadcaster A&E took over the series for a fourth season. In February 2016, A&E finally announced the discontinuation of the series.

action

NYPD Detective Carrie Wells has hyperthymesia , a rare syndrome that gives her the ability to visually remember everything she has ever seen. This means that Carrie can go back to earlier times in her life at will, with one exception. During an investigation into the case of her murdered neighbor Catherine Grant, the young woman meets her former friend and partner Al Burns again. Carrie had resigned from the Syracuse Police Department years ago when Burns refused to pursue the investigation into her murdered sister Rachel. She couldn't cope with this and her situation and submitted her farewell. Carrie was not only the youngest detective at the time, but also the one with the highest clearance rate of all time.

In between, the young woman earned her money with her phenomenal memory in gaming salons , sometimes in illegal gambling dens. Then, as now, she worked as a volunteer in a home for the elderly, in which her mother, who has Alzheimer's disease, also lives . The old lady can't remember her childhood daughter Rachel being murdered. Carrie also only recognizes her sporadically, although she knows that her daughter is a police officer.

Al Burns asks Carrie to support him in the case of Catherine Grant, in which there is little evidence, which she refuses at first. He says that she has to come back, she wasn't ready then to deal with her sister's death, but now she is ready and, if there is more to discover, he can help her. She should trust him. Carrie replies that she trusted him before, but he gave up. While Carrie is talking to her mother in the old people's home, who she does not recognize as her daughter, a helper brings her the file with her sister's case and a message from Al Burns: "I never gave up," it says on a piece of paper. Carrie's mind keeps coming back to the day her sister died. The man she sees is always faceless.

Carrie Wells later returns to the NYPD as a detective and works with her colleagues in the (fictional) 117th precinct after initially working as a consultant for the NYPD.

Continuation of the plot regarding Rachel's death in the first season

Episode 6
On the way to her mother, whom she is visiting with Al Burns, Carrie Wells talks about her sister's murder in 1984. She is holding a phantom image she has created in her hands. To her great surprise, Alice recalls Wells, who has Alzheimer's disease, and believes that everything is still as it was when Carrie and Al were a couple almost nine years ago. She pretends that she last saw Al a few days ago. A call comes in and Carrie and Al have to say goodbye. "Go ahead and catch your criminals," said Alice Wells.
When Carrie visits her mother at the end of the episode, she has a drawing with her that shows her sister's likely murderer. She happens to come across her mother's eyes. "But Carrie, why do you have a drawing by Jonathan with you," the young woman hears her mother ask.
Episode 7
In this episode, Carrie returns to the end of the last episode, in which her mother referred to the man in the drawing as Jonathan. Unfortunately, she can't remember his last name, only that he lived across the street. Carrie believes the man in the photo could be her sister Rachel's killer. When she tells Al that the closer she gets to the solution, the worse her headache gets, he says, "Just like before." During this episode, Carrie is caught up with her memories of her dead sister. She also remembers when Al told her that she needed a break. Then she told Al that she couldn't go on like this, that she needed a normal life in places that weren't crime scenes and with people who weren't victims. At the time, she had left the department assuring each other of their love. At the end of the episode, Carrie sees the jacket of the man who killed her sister for the first time. Thereupon she tells Al, who is completely surprised, that she now also knows where he worked (emblem on the Stop & Fill jacket ).
Episode 8
Carrie tries to get information about the company whose name was on the perpetrator's jacket. She also recalls her memory of the room she ( Victoria Leigh , Carrie as a child) shared with her sister and her reaction to it when her mother ( Sue Cremin as a young mother) all the things that reminded Rachel, removed from it and how painful it was for her then.
In this episode, Det. Roe Sanders offers Carrie his help when he learns that she is investigating grocery stores near Syracuse , where she lived with her mother and sister as a child. His uncle is pretty big at a supermarket in case she needs help. “Thanks,” says Carrie, “I'll keep that in mind.” Later he wants to know from Carrie whether she can really remember absolutely everything in her life. By the time she was eight, she really had a pretty good memory. "And then suddenly one day," says Carrie and pauses ... After a pause, she finishes the sentence that one day she started to concentrate and since then she has remembered everything, really everything.
At the end of this episode, Carrie tells Al Burns and Roe Sanders that she looked all over the house and in the attic for Rachel's things, but they were gone, lost forever. And so she decided at that moment that there was no way she would lose anything again. So then she sat in her room and started to remember what it was like. And everything was as it was when Rachel was with her. Every little thing in the shared room down to the book Rachel last read was there again. Carrie hands Sanders the drawing of the man she believes killed Rachel. She doesn't even know if his real name is Jonathan, that's all she found out about the murder of her sister after 28 years. Sanders wants to call his uncle Sherman, maybe he could help.
In episodes 21 and 22, Rachel's death in the forest is investigated further.
