Unforgettable - The Return of Eddie - Review

Share on Reddit

It鈥檚 pretty obvious by the the episode title, The return of Eddie, that Carrie鈥檚 ex-husband would return in this episode. Personally, I thought one episode with Eddie was enough of that storyline, so I was disappointed to see him return. I get that the writers are trying to give us more of Carrie鈥檚 past but I think they are taking it in the wrong direction here. The episode before this one also included another man from Carrie鈥檚 past. That is no longer a new subject as every time we turn around there鈥檚 another guy from Carrie鈥檚 past coming back to complicate her life. Is it just me or does she just seem to throw herself at every man she meets? Now this might be a hard critique of the show but it鈥檚 coming from the fact that I once really loved the show, the characters, the partner dynamic, and Carrie鈥檚 special gift. I just keep hoping we will get a glimpse of what the show used to be like. Not necessarily as dark or serious as the first season, but maybe a mix between seasons 1, 2 and 3.

The way the episode ended leads me to believe that Eddie is definitely going to be back again and who knows, maybe Carrie will get back together with him. I certainly hope not as I鈥檓 always rooting for Al and Carrie. Although thats what I鈥檓 hoping for, the way the season is going I鈥檓 guessing that it鈥檚 not going to happen anytime soon, if at all. It appears as though Carrie is interested in anyone expect Al.

Moving on from the disappointment of them bringing Eddie back I do have to say that the case was a good one. There were a lot of twists and turns that kept me guessing who killed the videographer. That鈥檚 one thing this show is good at, keeping the cases interesting. In this episode we had a case inside another case so there was even more complexity to it and it was great. No one wants to watch a show where you can guess who the killer is within two seconds of the episode.

I鈥檝e been waiting for a really great episode of Unforgettable. I loved this show from the beginning and there have been episodes in the past that blew me away, not even mentioning how great the characters were. But, with this season I鈥檓 worried that if they don鈥檛 give us more substance this show will be canceled for the third time. What I鈥檝e seen so far this season has me believing that this isn鈥檛 even the show that I originally fell in love with. Am I the only one that thinks Unforgettable is starting to become forgettable?
