Рыцарь навсегда Online

I really like this show. I started watching it on late night TV back when it was originally on (we picked up locally after Letterman) and found myself hooked. Me and my old man would sit up and enjoy this rich and involving tale of one 'man's' search for redemption. There were very few uninteresting episodes (most were in the first season) and the acting and scripts done so seriously and so intelligently that one really could not help but respect the work that went into them.

The show ended on the perfect note and the last season built steadily to that point. There was never a loose thread, never a mis-step, just one enjoyable episode after another that added up to a fantastic viewing experience. If more TV could be this good, I would probably still watch it.

Some channel surfers may have viewed Forever Knight merely as a "Vampire Cop" show. Much more was there. For one, you had great social and ethical questions brought to discussion from each and every week's show. Then there was outstanding character development. Cinematography was no less than award winning, the flash back sequences were beautifully executed. There was a spot that was truly unique. The flash backs helped people see that moral dilemmas are not something new to our time but have been there for all time. Truly a unique part to this series. Next we have beautifully scored music, followed by talented actors and actresses, and well written scripts. I think what attracted me the most to the show, as I believe many others would agree with, was the character development. You began to feel as the show progressed how well all the characters connected. There seemed to be some sort of on-screen bond that you felt they could even share off-screen, thus tying you into the characters as well. If you have never seen this series, take the time to watch a few consecutive episodes always airing on the Sci-Fi channel, you won't be disappointed!

On today's TV screen the viewer can see anything from murdering rapists to idiots who stay on an island until they are booted off. Forever Knight was and is a breath of fresh air. It had a person(vampire) who was trying to use his talents to help the world. He was trying to be more than his fellow vampires wanted to allow him to be. It was and is a positive show with flawed characters. It is now on reruns on the Scifi Channel and I can tell you, I'll take this old and possibly campy show over talk shows, soap operas and so called reality shows any day of the week.

Greetings from another fan. I stumbled across this great show at the beginning of the 3rd season - when Schanke got killed in the plane crash and when Tracy and Vachon appeared. I was immediately "forever hooked." I was able to catch the re-runs which enabled me to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. For me the show had everything: drama, humor, and a strong moral message which, as we know, is sorely lacking in this medium. Many of the story lines dealt with "human" issues such as the physically challenged and Aids. It came as no surprise to me when the show was canceled. Too much quality, I guess, for today's audience. Who knows? Perhaps some time in the future some TV exec will get smart and "Forever Knight" will have another life. Look at "Star Trek."

One final comment. On a trip to Toronto last Sept., I got to see the building that was used for the outside shot of the police station. I was thrilled!

Perhaps one of the two best tv vampire shows to ever air(dark shadows 1966 being the other)

It was very disappointing that Sony Tristar demanded the show be cancelled during the middle of 3rd season. After the backlash from angry fans, the show did make it thru five more shows including a series finale.(A finale most did not expect would happen in the way it did)

There were 70 episodes all together. Perhaps if Sony had listened to reason, it would have made a 4th season totaling 100 episodes. Die hard fans are trying to get together a FK movie of the week. I wish them the best of luck in the attempt.

I accidentally caught Forever Knight one morning on the Sci-Fi channel and instantly fell in love. The mixture of drama, action, romance, and tongue-in-cheek humor makes it one of my favorite shows of all time. The main character, Nicholas Knight, weaves an intricate web of love, loss, and pain while still holding the viewer captive in his spell. Spectacular!

Though Forever Knight could be summed up in two words--vampire cop--the series itself examined the aspects of humanity, and what it means to be human, through the eyes of a repentant vampire seeking to become mortal again. Geraint Wyn Davies portrays Nick Knight with the perfect balance of menace and innocence, humor and heartache. The supporting characters are well-rounded and adeptly played, particularly Nigel Bennett in the role of Lucien LaCroix, Nick's vampire master, who loves what he is. Father, brother, devil's advocate to Nick's tormented vampire, he exhibits a feline grace and unflappable poise reminiscent of the late Yul Brynner.

I watched Forever Knight when I was younger, and I always liked it. Little kids are fascinated by a lot of things, but this show genuinely held my interest. If you can see reruns of it or find tapes somewhere, then I definatly recommend it. It features great actors and the storyline is unique and interesting. I definatly give it two thumbs up!

I love this show, it is such a new and unique idea. And, when you think of the vampire setting, its not like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" where the vampires are pure evil and work for the devil.... ahhh... *sort of thing*. The story of Forever Knight is a vampire named Nicholas Knight, who was brought across about 800 years ago. And he wants to become mortal again, he does not want to be a murderer and kill people for their blood. I GREAT TELEVISION SHOW!! *you will get hooked!* And in every show there is a lesson, each show keeps you watching and hoping for more!!! MY favorite Character is Lucien LaCroix played by Nigel Bennett.. anyways, It is a wonderfull show!

Forever Knight is a show about a vampire cop. But don't stop there. If you do, you will miss the great writing and acting that made it so much more. The depth of the characters and the stories is tremendous. It is a great show for those who are into vampires and even for those who are not. Sadly at this time it is not on in reruns but there is hope. If you get a chance to watch this show, do so, you will not be disappointed.

REALLY mild spoiler ahead! There are some TV shows, as there are all things, that make viewers think more deeply about the world around them. That allow them to view simple, ordinary things, as well as extraordinary, in a new way - a way that helps us to not take the beautiful things in life for granted. Some things change the world forever for the people who love them. Forever Knight is one of these things. FK taught me to appreciate the good in life and in the people around me. It glorified all that is good in humanity, by showing us what we are through the eyes of one who seemingly has it all...and wants more than anything to be one of us. Its main character is a vampire, but this show is about what it is to be human - all the beauty and the ugliness, all the wisdom and the madness, all that we are capable of and all that we have lowered ourselves to. This show is beautiful, dramatic, romantic, intense, heart-warming and always exciting. This intelligent and wonderfully-done show has attracted an enormous following who have been so touched by it, that we are fighting to get it back. I would recommend this show for anyone mature enough to appreciate its intelligence, sensitive enough to be touched by its soul, and willing to take on a show that will change the way you see the world forever.

Forever Knight is one of those great shows that you miss out on their initial run, either because of lack of hype, or even that they did not have an 'original run', like here in Australia, where it was doomed to the rigours of late night television. Not many low budget shows - nay, not many SHOWS have this sort of intensity.

*possible spoilers, if you like that sort of thing ahead*

There isn't much else that I can add to the current commentaries, but I'd like to make one point. This show would not have the bite that it has if it had not ended when and how it ended. I remember being chilled to the bone as I saw the last scene. No other show would dare to attempt an end like that.

Will this show ever be released on DVD or video? It's not fair.

After watching Buffy and Angel, I started watching an late night offering called Forever Knight and became instantly hooked. The characters and situations in this series are both intelligently written as well as being highly entertaining. This series is what Buffy and Angel tried to be but could not. With unforgettable characters such as Nicholas and LaCroix, all other vampire shows pale in comparison. The complicated relationship between LaCroix and Nicholas, his errant 'son' is what really makes this show work. As sad as the ending to this excellent series is, it was handled well. I am only sorry that this series did not go on for longer.

A show I will always remember for the 1am time slot we had here in England. Having to stay awake because of my newborn baby and trying to find anything on TV worth watching, at such a stupid time of night. This is one of the only series I can watch today and it's still as great now as it was the first time I watched it. Absolute brilliance. I have just purchased series 1 and 2 from abroad and am desperate for series 3. A vampire while trying to regain humanity is playing the part of a police detective solving crimes. This is a must see for anyone with wonderful taste in vampire series. (Buffy+ Angel eat your hearts out).

This show was a staple of Channel 11 in NY in the late 90's on the weekends. It was fantastic, Nick Knight is a vampire cop that hunts criminals, some like him, some human.

The episodes were well written and filmed with a dark ambiance reflecting the series theme.

It similar to Highlander with the character being immortal, but this was less goofy and serious toned. It had some memorable characters like his partner Skanly. Him and Nick's relationship was great. They played off each other perfectly, one serious, one a trouble maker, but both good cops doing good.

This was fantastic and one of the great shows that reminds me of the 80's TV shows.

They DO NOT make them like this anymore. This was a guys show, for when networks cared about guys.

This is perfect for men and a must watch for people struggling to find good shows to try.

TEN OUT OF TEN!!!!

Among my favorite TV series. I agree with a previous comment that it was very reminiscent of Highlander, containing numerous flashbacks to times long since past, recurring enemies and friends, and an otherwise similar feel with the character interactions and setting.

What I found particularly intriguing was the relationship between the sympathetic and essentially "good" lead, Nick, and the conniving, manipulative, "evil" side character of LaCroix. Their personalities clashed, and Nick would often argue and be repulsed by the inherent evil within LaCroix. Yet at the end of nearly every episode, Nick would seek LaCroix's advice on a number of topics. And LaCroix would always be eager to lend his assistance and often good advice mixed in with his deliciously wicked banter.

I highly recommend this series.

I don't have anything to say about this that no one else hasn't already. However, I DO know that what fkf said about the show was incorrect (surprising no one else caught it). As Nick Knight is a vampire, he is ALREADY immortal. He is wanting to get his mortality back. He wants to become a human again...sunlight, food, all the perks he's missed over the last 700 centuries.

Forever Knight is a reminder that a decade ago, television shows used to have charisma, good writing, quality acting and originality. It is about a 700ish vampire, ex-knight and now police officer, Nicholas de Brabant. His greatest wish is to become mortal, and although as we see more and more of his life (his past often seen through flashbacks) his "death wish" makes less and less sense, the quest for mortality is fun to watch. Of course Forever Knight had it's flaws as well, but they can be easily overlooked.

I do not agree with those who say the last episode was a disappointment. In my opinion, the show seriously needed the cruel, unhappy ending - without it, the relationship between the two main characters would've seemed just another Hollywood type boring love story, where everybody who really deserves it gets a better life at the end.

This was a great series. Wonderfully unique and refreshing, with complex and memorable characters. Nigel Bennet as "LaCroix" was absolutely extraordinary! Nick Knight, the title character, gives us a deep and conflicted portrayal of a vampire in love with life, desperate to regain what he believes he lost with his mortality, but not yet ready to die. Notable episodes include the pilot episodes, "Ashes to Ashes", featuring LaCroix's mortal daughter/vampiric mother, and "Last Knight", the end of the series (a bit disappointing due to its clip/flashback format, but with powerful storytelling and compelling visual images, I can't get the image of the very last scene out of my head).

Based on a Rick Springfield Pilot, "Forever Knight" was a series about a 760 year-old vampire who wants to regain his humanity. Nicholas "Nick" Knight is currently a homicide detective in Toronto, Canada. In his quest to regain his mortality, his friends, most notably an attractive female Police Coroner, Dr. Natalie Lambert, try to help him and his family (other vampires, notably his "Father," the Machiavellian Lucien LaCroix) try to stop him. This was one the best series on TV -- both original and extremely interesting. I really wish that the producers were going to make more episodes. Everyone should've gotten a chance to watch this series -- a mix of gothic horror, romance, adventure and police drama. Mostly, the 3 seasons were very good. The episode called "Last Night", the last episode, was not good at all. Unfortunately typical of the last season.

Forever Knight was one of my favorite shows. I was extremely disappointed when it stopped being shown after its third season. You can currently find Forever Knight on SciFi, but no new episodes, of course. Maybe if enough fellow fans of the show write and email, they will bring it back. Until then, I am "forever hoping" that the campaign to bring it back will succeed.

TV series' changed in the 21st century, going from episode centered to season centered, where a story can take several episodes to tell. Some might disagree, but I think that's a good thing. It makes TV shows more engaging.

Forever Knight, obviously, was written during the episode centered era, and while there are consistent themes in this show, each episode is meant to be a unit unto itself, and inevitably there's some kind of corny plots and mediocre stories in there (like the vampire pet episode).

But I remember this show fondly. I used to catch it on late at night after work, when I worked the evening shift and it was a great late night show. A bit of spookiness, a bit of heart and the occasional bit of comedy. The acting was overall very good and the actors played well off each other.

Geraint Wyn Davies played the tortured vampire hero who's basically "Angel", before Angel. A guy who tries to do right to make up for years of blood-lust. Unlike Angel, he didn't get his soul back from a spell. They don't say how it happened and I think that actually works better, cause you get the sense he earned his humanity back over time. Where Angel is brooding, Davies plays the role with a hint of sadness and a ton of regret. Where Angel is always ready to fight, Davies plays the role very cautious of his strength and always willing to talk first. Between the two, I find Davies silently tortured Vampire vastly superior to Angel's stoic/brooding one. While the story telling is better in Angel, the heart and depth of character goes to Davies. He played this role brilliantly, which is interesting cause I've never been much impressed with Davies' other performances but this he did very well.

Nigel Bennett (Lacroix) is brilliant in this show as the old vampire with more strength than anyone else. To say why he's great would give spoilers, but he's a Shakespearean level actor with a talent for being intimidating in a quiet way. He's a favorite of mine.

John Kapelos plays Davies (Nick Knight's) partner for the first two seasons and he's a well known "everyman" actor who plays his role well as the straight man to the difficult to explain things he sees. He played the janitor in breakfast club, and while Bennett is dark and a little scary and Knight (Davies) is haunted, regretful and sad, Kapelos is likable, skeptical, sensible and a straight cop. They make a perfect triangle as 3 vastly different characters. Kapelos & Bennett are almost never on screen at the same time, but they both spend time with Knight and the differences in the roles those 3 play is part of what makes this show work as well as it does.

Catherine Disher was the 4th main character and I found her to be the weakest of the four. She wasn't bad, but she didn't wow me either.

Season one, at least early on, the show seems to not really know where it's going. It was spun off a TV movie and the characters take a while to set, so there are some inconsistencies and if you start with Episode one, you might think it's just a cheesy formula show, and, it was, for a bunch of the first season, but as the characters come into their own it gets better.

For season 3 they changed everything around. Kapelos is replaced by Lisa Ryder (Blond ship captain from Andromeda) and she plays the cop role well enough, though she doesn't have Kapelos' heart, nor his ability to play the straight man.

Pretty boy Ben Bass is also added in the 3rd season as another Vampire who Knight kind of takes under his wing as a guy who doesn't kill people anymore. Bass isn't haunted the way Knight is, and I found his role a little pointless but not unwatchable. The show has some solid episodes in season 3, but I think she show was best in season 2 and the 2nd half of season 1.

The finally was a little disappointing, and, I gather, rushed through production, but the show is still worth checking out. Angel and Twilight both seemed to borrow aspects from this show. It's hard to be original these days. Forever Knight is one of the few original shows.

As young, i used to see this series in dubbed version, but this didn't annoyed me to appreciate an original idea of vampires : on of them tries to buy himself and wash away his sins, by seaking good all over the periods he travels ; he ends on the present day (by the time of the series) as a police detective, solving cases directed linked with his old time vamp pals.

Too bad I couldn't catch up entirely with the series, but I keep good old memories about it and I hope I manage to find her anywhere (well, this is not the kind of series you'll find here in France, but Paris is a city where you can find many "insolites" stuff !).

Simply is impossible not to love "Forever Knight" : great actors, perky Gothic atmosphère and beautiful structured stories ; myself, I'm a bad time writer and this series is an inspiration !!! 9 over 10, cause I couldn't saw the series completely ; but I manage, is surely be 10 over 10. Thanks & don't let me be misunderstood

I caught this show by accident when I was just channel surfing when I lived in the US. I thought I saw the familiar face of Geraint Wyn Davies who played Klaus Von Helsing in Dracula the Series. I was blown over when I found out what this show was all about. How ironic! After watching a couple of episodes I was hooked. The first season will always be my favorite. I wasn't at all too crazy with season two. I didn't really bother with the last season after John Kapelos left. Nick and Schanke were great partners and occasionally bounced off each other. What I liked about this show is that the hero unafraid to be vulnerable and admitting the wrong choice he made. In many ways Nick through his admission is really human at heart. Then of course there was Lacroix trying to bring his rebel child to heel with his cruel taunts. Nigel Bennet plays the villain maker to the hilt and the results is absolutely devilish. Catherine Disher is good as the supportive Natalie Lambert and Deborah Duchene is great as Janette, the vampire mistress of the The Raven Club, torn between her master Lacriox and her ex-lover. It was a shame that CBS passed this show up in it's peak. The momentum was thrown off a bit when it went to another network. Still this is one of my favorite TV shows and one I will always remember even though I felt the last two seasons were a bit of a let down.
