Format:DVD
i was over the moon when this series finally became available, i can remember bits of episodes from when it was on tv years ago. i am well into the second set of dvds, watching them at night in bed. shame there was only three series, there was opportunity for it to continue. love it to bits and it wont be long before i'm into the third box set.
came in great condition and in good time. again you need your dvd payer to be region free, i can only watch them thanks to a hack code that freed my dvd recorder from region two.
these dvds are all region one for america.

I enjoyed this series when it was first on tv, but I definitely prefer the first two series to the third. This DVD set is a must for anyone who watches FK, though.

The Final Season...
4 July 2007
Format:DVD
In its third season, cult favorite "Forever Knight" continues a fine tradition of excellent, even thought-provoking storytelling while concluding the saga of Nick Knight, 13th Century vampire and 20th Century Toronto homicide detective.
In the opening double episode of the season, "Black Buddha", a deranged bomber destroys an airliner leaving Toronto, precipitating a major shakeup in the cast of "Forever Knight." Knight's partner and his precinct captain are killed in the crash. Knight's new partner is Tracy Vetter, an inexperienced and often impulsive detective whose father happens to be police commissioner. Her arrival allows an interesting plot twist. Tracy falls in love with the boyishly charming vampire Vashon, but remains unaware that Nick is also a vampire, leading to a series of humorously ironic situations, notably in the episode "My Boyfriend is a Vampire.".
Season Three continues the themes of the series. Nick hungers for redemption and struggles with the guilt of 800 years of killing. He continues to work through a complicated relationship with police coroner and close confidant Natalie Lambert. Their love for each other will come to drive several episodes and the ending of the series.
As in Seasons One and Two, actions relentlessly have consequences; Nick's life is repeatedly made complex by his struggle to balance his vampire nature against his instinct to act for good. Nick's tendency to resort to his vampire abilities to solve crime sometimes complicates the cases or threatens the intended moral outcome.
Nick's vampire mentor LaCroix plays a large role, continuing his delicate wrestling match with Natalie for Nick's soul while sometimes bailing Nick out of trouble. Nick will try to return the favor when LaCroix faces his own long estranged and vengeful vampire mentor in "Ashes to Ashes".
Jeanette, Nick's fellow vampire and sometime lover from the first two seasons, has "moved on" but resurfaces in "The Human Factor" to validate Nick's search for his lost humanity and to offer a seeming alternate pathway back to it.
As all good things must come to an end, so does the season and the series. In the dramatic "Last Knight", Nick resolves his relationships with Vetter, LaCroix and Natalie. The ending is one every fan of the series will want to watch.
Season Three is highly recommended to fans of "Forever Knight" as the final 22 episodes of a series that managed to be highly entertaining and often thoughtful despite a limited budget. Extras for the third season DVD set include three music videos.

Five stars for the series but .....
3 Mar 2007
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
less for the packaging.
This is the third and sadly, final season for the series. Nick's life in Toronto is beginning to end as the series opens. In the first episode both his partner and boss are replaced and not for the better. In the vampire world Janette has moved on. Nick's new partner, Tracey Vetter, a rather annoyingly perky young woman has stumbled upon the existence of vampires, a secret that she is intent on keeping from Nick. As the season progresses the stories do improve, particularly those involving Tracey and Vachon, 'her' vampire. The stories are interesting and well done for the most part.
The final episode is compelling but will certainly cause fans of the series to scream 'no' and frantically search for a loophole.
The downside to this set, besides being the final episodes, is the lack of extras. Commentaries by actors, writers, series creators etc. would have been greatly appreciated and are conspicously absent. An explanation of the reasoning behind the ending in particular would have been of great interest. Instead all that is offered are some music videos of songs that were featured in the series.

Disappointed
6 Aug 2010
Format:DVD
I was a huge fan of FOREVER KNIGHT and was sad and very disappointed to see it end. I'm glad that it's now on DVD, but I still have one major problem. The first two seasons are being sold here for about fifteen dollars a piece. The finally season, as I'm sure others have noted, is over one hundred!
What's up with this? Perhaps there is some bonus material that makes it worth the high price that I'm not aware of?
I love shopping at amazon. I generally get really good deals here, but until or unless the price is soon lowered for the last season of FOREVER KNIGHT, I won't be able to afford to buy it.
Please amazon, help us out here!
