I was intrigued by the guy who's spying on him claiming to be 2,000 years old. His length of time alive going back to the age of Christ could be significant, especially as the glimpse of his hand showed him to be a white guy rather than Native American. Interesting!!

Caught up with the latest episode earlier. Very much an "Oooohhh" moment when "Adam" revealed he was over 2,000 years old.
I still like it - it's a very easy watch. I suspect they're keeping it "light" to give themselves the best chance of renewal.
It really shouldn't have been though given Herny's profession and thought process and intelligence who would know that human society has been going for about 10000 years. 2000 is nowt.
I'm not sure about this series at all. It just reminds me of so many other shows/films. I'll watch one more but I think it will all be a bit samey.
Highlander - bringing up a child from WW2 who knows his secret and runs antiques shop.
Time Travellers Wife - called Henry and returns naked every time.
Mentallist - the way he knows so much about people from one glance.
Sherlock - his lengthy explanations of what happened.
Plus:
True Blood - a main character who has lived for hundreds of years (see Vampire Bill/Eric Northman)
South Park - like Kenny he "dies" at least once an episode.
Torchwood - apparently immortal like Capt. Jack Harkness.
CSI - he can deduce cause of death by the particular direction the victim's nasal hair is bending/gathers DNA evidence in half a minute/has an irritating, socially awkward, comic-relief lab-tech..
Taxi - Judd Hirsch ferries him around New York in a car.
I did like how he didn't die in the latest episode as well. I hope they only use that when it's appropriate as it can certainly get quite tired if they have to crowbar a way for him to die in each time.
and surely at some point someone is going to see him disappear or even film it - these days people with mobiles will film anything, even a fatal accident.
Also, how is he keeping the time of how long it takes him to come back to life?
I liked the recent episode less. I don't need another police procedural.
As an aside, I don't think living for 2,000 years would make you stop caring about people. We live a lot longer than many of our pets, but we still care about them.
There wasn't any hint of he being in trouble and being killed in the episode but his 'condition' did give him insight to the old lady and also some background about himself.
Apart from that though it was a standard police procedural.

The subplot about his "stalker" Adam has also disappeared in the last two episodes.
I'm not sure they've got the balance right with this show.
Myself and others didn't want to see him die every week, but at the same time if that plot is removed then it's just a standard police drama. It's Quincy.
They have the flashbacks about him living in the city 100 years ago but really doesn't add much to the plot.
Henry casts an eye over the death of a reformed addict, before spinning a tall tale when Jo asks questions about his friendship with Abe
It was hardly that was it?
10 seconds at the end of the episode where he said they've been friends for years, which is true (obviously he's not going to mention how old he is and that he raised Abe as a son).
So, has Henry taken my suggestion and hidden a set of clothes under the Brooklyn Bridge ready for when he dies and re-emerges there? Seemed to find his own way back this time.
A good use of his death last night. I do think they're stringing out this Adam storyline a bit much though, first only hearing him, now only seeing his feet etc.
Comments
I'll stick with it for now but seems quite dull.
A quick look at Wikipedia will show you who "Adam" is
Down to 5million from 8million. Not sure if that is bad enough to see it cancelled though.
By telling you who Adam is I meant who the actor playing him is
I still like it - it's a very easy watch. I suspect they're keeping it "light" to give themselves the best chance of renewal.
Also nice to see Judd Hirsch again as Abe. Hadn't seen him in any form since Independence Day.

What I didn't get though was when he saw Abe's name on the list why he travelled all the way home.
Why not call the shops landline or Abe's mobile?

What happened to 'Adam'?
As for 'Adam', he is back next week according to the info on the TV guide.
10 seconds at the end of the episode where he said they've been friends for years, which is true (obviously he's not going to mention how old he is and that he raised Abe as a son).
