'Forever Knight' boldly asked: What if a cop were a vampire…and, moreover, Canadian? awomanskwarned writes on the ’90s cult hit
Photo: Tri-Star Tv/Kobal/Shutterstock In the early-to-mid-’90s, no one pretended cop shows had to resemble reality. Instead, major networks produced shows like Cop Rock, a jaw-droppingly strange singing procedural, and Moloney, about a cop who’s also a shrink. Unsurprisingly, both Cop Rock and Moloney ran for a single season each before disappearing amid the various Law & Orders.
The show is premised on the idea that Nick Knight became a cop because he was plagued by his conscience, thus acquiring a taste for punitive justice. This doesn’t altogether track when you consider Nick’s gross body count throughout his lengthy existence as both a vampire and a slut. The wild card on the force, Detective Knight sometimes apprehends perps by flying at them, eyes aglow.
Upon watching the show, one may wonder, Why would a French vampire move to Toronto? Did he go to Toronto Police College? There are no clear answers. As in most Canadian shows, Canada simply happens, even to vampire cops. Yet one of the best parts of Forever Knight, for me, is the regional pang of watching scenes shot at locations like Factory, one of Toronto’s few classic theater houses.
