Forever

This show surprised me... From the adds and preview I was expecting a mildly entertaing dramedy with scarce laughs. But what I got was a quirky dark comedy chocked full of funny moments with a neat mysterious sub plot. Fred and Mia do great together in a pretty close to perfect ensemble. It starts off as a bit of a slow burn taking it's time to work up to the real premise but when the ball really got rolling I seriously couldn't stop watching. Some idiot on this site gave 'forever' a 1/10 rating with the headline: Tragic.... The only tragic thing about this show is that it's so freaking good that you'll probably end up running out of episodes and binge it all in one day like I did. Okay so the premise isn't that revolutionary or mind-blowing but it's really how they deliver and set the mood. The writers do a great job balancing comedy and drama. Every episode is different and its own unique story inside of a story. This show is funny, sad, exciting, eerie, but most of all entertaining... Bravo! I want more.

I went into this show without knowing anything about it, and thats the way to do this. The series was haunting and beautiful also soul crushing in all the best ways. If you came to this show expecting comedy or more of the same sitcom crap then you will find nothing of value in it. But if you value character development and a deep meaningful story this should be right up your alley. You may notice that the negative reviews are typically posted by people who mix up then and than so disregard them. Take a peek for yourself.

Really it is. It's quality. The writing, the acting, the editing, the unpredictability of each episode. The complex moods of sincere longing and silliness, boredom, and compassion. It makes me hopeful and grateful at how far we've come that people have made a show this perfect.

What moron executive was in charge of cancellation? This might have blossomed into a cult classic--making them lots of money. Too short sighted to think long term.

Its not the riot of laughs you would expect from the cast list but its still good. More of cerebral type comedy that makes you question your life/happiness while still having bits of lightheartedness . Episode 6 was really something : melancholic and touching. Im not done with the whole season yet but i wanted to leave a review while it was still fresh.
