After Forever

This drama has a lot of good energy, performances and the concept is very well put together overall. But the lead doesn't really seem able to carry the entire story, so the other characters and THEIR contributions/stories are very welcome (gets even better in the 2nd season). However, a few of the performances were over-acted and the biggest turn-off was all the name-dropping (they must REALLY hate Patti Lupone for whatever reason) and references to their lavish New York City lifestyle and proximity to Broadway, academia and artists...from a California stand-point, they just came off as posers. In fact, the more the characters talked about famous people, the more evident it was that pretty much no one famous or recognizable was in this cast. Worth a watch, but definitely a lot of area for growth (assuming there is a season 3).

Started watching wth the husband last night. I wasn't feeling it at first, then it started to grow on me. Short episodes, easy to digest. Looking forward to watching more, if Amazon/producers do the right thing.

I remember posting about this series, After Forever, a while ago, and I finally had a chance to see it.

I liked it for many reasons, one of which is that it explores the relationship of a gay couple who have been in a long term relationship and they are forced to face one of the worst realities of life.

I should add that it's not always totally realistic, but it's not far off the mark. It's kind of like a m/m romance novel turned into a TV series. And you have to watch the entire series to get the full meaning. I think most people who read m/m romance novels will love this series.

Mitchell Anderson and Kevin Spirtas, the two main characters, are both openly gay in real life, too.

AFTER FOREVER is a gentle masterpiece. Education with a velvet hand. No stereotypes, just real people living life on life's terms. Superb writing, terrific drama! I thank you.

I came across After Forever one night after the death of a very close family member. I bing watched all episodes. They hit so close to home. After Forever touches on every emotion involved with loss, regardless of the relationship of those involved. Each episode takes you through all of the stages of loss, and of hope for the future, and reinforces how one can get through loss and grief with the support of great friends. I truly hope After Forever is renewed.
