Forever

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.

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.

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.

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.

This series started out, as the previous reviewer highlighted, as quite slow-moving, and yes, I can see how that could turn off viewers, and even myself, who are used to much more fast-paced shows and series. But I think that reviewer did this show a disservice in dismissing it out of hand due to the slower pace.

The premise is all sorts of fun and each episode builds on the last (with the exception of that seemingly non-sequitur but still compelling episode 3/4ths of the way in, which I am assuming will be tied in at some point). I am only halfway through episode 7, with only one more to go, and I honestly could not imagine abandoning the series at this point. The plot keeps thickening and I find myself intrigued and entertained. What more could one want?

I think this show is a bit of a gem and worth getting stuck into.
