Forever

I wanted to take my time watching this show because 8 episodes is truly too short but it's TOO good to not binge in one sitting!!!! Lovie Simone & Michael Cooper Jr are SOO amazing in their roles of Keisha and Justin, I was instantly taken back to my first love and heartbreak. Their honesty to each other, their moments of immaturity due to their age but their quick realization that their love was worth it, ugh everything about this show was perfection. I really hope we see more from this series in the future, and more work like this from the amazing Mara Brock Akil !!!!!

This show is powerful on so many levels.

Wow, Netflix put out a beautiful teen drama about teens living and falling in love in Los Angeles, California. I don't see that often on tv shows even for teens. I really loved this story about 2 different teens that work hard to get to where they want to go in life and also their love life. I like that they parents of both teens care and love and communicate with the kids. I have never heard of actor Michael Cooper Jr, before this show. But If Netflix gives this show another season then I hope that he comes back for season 2. Also actress Lovie Simone put out a very beautiful performance I also hope that she will come back for a season 2. I hope we get to see them in college.

I absolutely loved this series. There aren't many new beautiful Black love stories out there, and this one truly stood out in such a special way. The ending was heartfelt, emotional without a sad tragedy. I was in tears of happiness at some points, completely drawn into every scenario that unfolded, as the story felt so real and relatable. The selected soundtrack was perfectly chosen, and fitted amazingly well, enhancing each moment with so much depth and emotion.

I couldn't stop watching and ended up finishing it in one day. What moved me most was seeing the maturity and deep bond portrayed across different generations, it was powerful to witness love through so many lenses. I genuinely want more. It would be amazing to see future seasons, watching these characters grow and evolve as life continues.

We don't get black shows like this often enough. Thank you to the writer, director, and producer for crafting such an authentic and beautiful love story.

Pros- Was a refreshing approach to a black centered show about a romance story between teens. Deals with a few deep themes that teens and adults in general struggle with which was a good direction to go. Liked how realistic certain things were, especially how badly relationship problems were dealt with. The father "Eric" was truly the mvp of the show, showing the importance of having a fatherly figure that's understanding and supporting. Was great to see so many supporting people. Some viewers might dislike "Keisha's" decisions but the show does well in giving different perspectives while allowing you to understand all sides and empathize with each character. Music was also good.

Cons- A few cringeworthy moments, with a bit of inconsistency with the writing at times and repetitiveness. The plot seemed to move a bit too fast at times, causing certain events to seem a bit rushed. Certain characters seemed to have deserved a bit more consequences for their actions as well. A few really unnecessary scenes "if you know, you know"

But overall a fun watch and with the absence of drugs etc, felt refreshing for a black oriented show! P. S- ensure you're able to watch based on the rating.
