June and Oscar are a married couple who live a comfortable-but-predictable life in suburban California. For years, they've had the same conversations, eaten the same meals, and taken vacations at the same rented lakehouse. But when June talks Oscar into shaking things up by taking a ski trip, the couple suddenly find themselves in completely unfamiliar territory -- raising questions about love, commitment and their marriage.

Critics Consensus

Forever is a gently harrowing and mirthful dive into the ennui of matrimony, elevated by Maya Rudolph's dazzling turn of not-so-quiet desperation.

It's wistful and hopeful and Maya Rudolph does some world-class swearing in it.

Not a word is spoken as viewers feel the ennui settling over [June] like a toxic cloud.

With hints of The Good Place, this short trip with gags, human complexity, and confusion, written by Emmy-winning writers is a rarity that brings fresh air and certain originality. [Full review in Spanish]

Although the series has "third act syndrome" it is an authentic take on eternal love. [Full Review in Spanish]

It's sweet, funny, touching, humane and original. I didn't know Aniz Ansari but some of the characters and the way of acting reminded me heavily of Aziz Ansari in Master of None. Charming and goofy. Anyway, it was a treat to watch Maya Rudolph and her co stars. The show was so unspectacularly and quietly comforting I actually do recommend it to others, but not to everyone.

It was okay, funny at moments, and philosophical, but pretty slow (which may be the point tbh). Not my first choice for a show, but it's not terrible.

I like both Maya Rudolph & Fred Armisen. They did another good job with this. It's a bit on the dark side of the comedic spectrum. I found it entertaining.

Wow people can be boring. Even when they're dead they just... obey. This review perfectly captures what I thought about it. https://slate.com/culture/2018/09/forever-spoilers-fred-armisen-maya-rudolph.html

Only got 3 episodes in, but this show is so boring and not that funny. I usually like Maya Rudolph but she wasn't that great here. I recommend watching The Good Place instead, which is basically a way better version of this concept, both from comedic and dramatic perspectives. It even has Maya Rudolph in it also (and I can confirm she is actually funny there).
