Christian Slater stars in TV ONE's new drama, The Forgotten with Jerry Bruckheimer as executive producer.

The Forgotten Network is a group of amateur detectives united in their quest to give names to unidentified victims and bring their murderers to justice. Led by Alex (Slater, True Romance), a former detective haunted and driven by the disappearance of his own young daughter, the group gather in coffee shops and living rooms, to discuss leads, clues and tips, each bringing their own motivations and skills to the table, each driven by a deep sense of purpose.

It was TVNZ's turn to show off which series they'll be screening in 2010 at their new season launch today in Auckland.  As you'd expect, there's a fairly solid line-up.

TV One has a new goal:  to be a little edgier.  One might assume: a little less safe.  It will be interesting to see how this transcribes into ratings.

TV One should dominate Mondays with The Pacific, an HBO series from the makers of Band of Brothers.  This will be followed by the multi-Emmy award-winning series Generation Kill. However, as it aired in the US in 2008, it can be bought on DVD here for about $40.
