Forever

After watching the first half of the first episode, I thought I must stop as it did not really speak to me. But I kept watching and after finishing the third episode I was very intrigued, in a good way, and couldn't stop anymore. Forever is a (beautifully shot) meditation on life and relationships, in a not very conventional way. Especially one certain scene (no spoilers here, but it's in one of the last episodes) is so beautiful, I could watch it on repeat for the rest of my life.

Watching this show is like having a good dream. Visually beautiful and light, but conceptually deep and imaginative. Every aspect of it is excellently done, from the writing to the costumes to the music & performances. Each episode is more rewarding than the last.

When I started watching this I really thought it was rubbish. I would not under any circumstances find out too much about it before watching. I knew it was about a couple with no kids who want to try to liven things up a little and that was it. This made it a surprise when you get to the end of episode 1 and an even bigger shock when I got to the end of episode 2. I nearly gave up by the middle of episode 2. However I am glad I watched. It is good. It is a little different to the normal married couples getting bored scenario. Don't find out anything about this. Watch to the end of episode 2 before you decide to commit or not. You will be rewarded.

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.

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.
