Forever is a wonderful, truly special show. ... Few have made us stop completely, let alone deeply reconsider our thoughts about, well... life. It was a thrilling experience, which is strange for a show this quiet and meditative.

Forever is one of the best new shows of the fall TV season. ... As much as this series evokes slivers of other projects, though, it is very much its own unique creation. Forever will mystify you, make you laugh, and force you to think deeply about how and why people hold themselves back from taking risks that can elevate their lives.

Best show, it’s definitely not for all types of people, some like fast pace some like slow, I 100% get it
(It’s a slow pace) Yet it’s so great, you always think it’s going to lead somewhere and that’s what the plot is going to be about yet you are immediately surprised as it turns its head Watching this show soothes me and makes me just, smile Actors are great, writers are extremely original and the directors all do a great job Sad to see such and underrated show :(

Hilarious! You need to go into this show blind. Do not read what this show is about, it could spoil some things. One of the writers did Master of None, just give it a go.

The series does not completely remake the rules of the genre to which viewers will ultimately discover it belongs, but it leaves its own mark on them in ways that are lovely, touching, strange and liable to stay with you after the curtain--hopefully just a first act--rings down.

It’s a narratively nimble show that’s thematically about routine, emotional fidelity and the possibility, or impossibility, of reinvention.

While there are elements that might remind you of Armisen’s beloved--and so missed--“Portlandia,” “Forever” isn’t a sketch show. It takes some fanciful risks, but it remains grounded in Oscar and June’s journey, together and apart.

June and Oscar’s relationship toggles back and forth between elaborate banter and awkward small talk, just as Forever itself shifts between kitchen-sink realism and stranger detours. Rudolph’s much better at bridging those seemingly incompatible parts, whereas the Oscar that so easily makes his wife laugh bears very little resemblance to the boring dentist who makes her cry inside.

Despite Rudolph and Armisen’s tremendous comic talents, their characters aren’t even particularly funny. Indeed, there’s something false about Oscar and June’s dynamic, the love story at the very center of the show. They fill hours debating questions like, What’s the all-time best way to sit? It’s supposed to be cute, a kind of laborious in-joke, but it’s mannered, like the behavior of people in a new, fragile relationship.

Incredibly boring. Couldn't even make it through the first episode. It also goes for cheap laughs assuming that yelling and profanity automatically equate to comedy. I want my time back

I was so bored, I couldn't finish episode 3. Maybe the show gets better later but at this point I don't care. And that's too bad because I love Maya Rudolph.
