Melanie McFarland Salon.com “Forever” plainly speaks to something missing from the gratification machinery propping up our age: a view of two people maturing into their understanding of intimacy. May 22, 2025 Full Review Amber Dowling Globe and Mail Watching this show, with strong performances, a solid soundtrack and romantic undertones, feels like curling up under a warm blanket on a rainy day. May 21, 2025 Full Review Aramide Tinubu Variety “Forever” offers something rarely seen on television (or anywhere): a whole, nuanced and exceptional showcase of first love through the eyes of two young Black people. May 10, 2025 Full Review Scarlett Harris The Scarlett Woman (Substack) I enjoyed the adaptation. It’s beautifully shot, the camera loves Lovie Simone and I was captivated by newcomer Michael Cooper Jr... But in widening the scope from Judy Blume’s novel to incorporate Justin’s outlook, we lose Keisha’s. Rated: 4 May 24, 2025 Full Review Kathia Woods The Philadelphia Tribune Keisha and Justin serve as a representation of the long-missing young Black love. They embody young individuals with promising futures, yearning for recognition and discovering it in each other. Rated: 8/10 May 20, 2025 Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu A retelling of Judy Blume’s controversial 1975 novel, this story of teenagers finding love while negotiating the peaks and pitfalls of growing up in 2018 Los Angeles is brimful of good feelings May 16, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

ET B The only show that will have you fall in love with, and render nostalgic, teenage angst. Black love at its most complex and perfectly imperfect. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Michelle C The story line was very realistic and well depicted and acted. It's beautiful to see a portrayal of young black people and their middle class families that are honest and a true portrayal. The characters were well developed and showed all of their flaws and nuances which made them more relatable. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review Esra Y So glad i checked it out. Heartfelt drama so well done! Performances, script, production, music perfection all around. If it wasn't for Tvscholar's article on Cut i would %100 pass on this one. Teenager romance, gen z, overbearing mothers none of it my thing. I got hooked on ep 3 and finished in one sitting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review luisa p This limited romance series is the best I’ve seen so far, storyline, acting and music was enchanting. This series is a breath of fresh air beside the ordinary romance series out there and one I have kept daydreaming about since I’ve watched it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review Chastity B Nuanced Black leads and storytelling at its finest. My friends and I thought about if we had a BLACK show growing up that wasn’t fresh prince and we could not think of one. This show is for all ages grappling with not having real trauma-free representation. It was suspenseful, I laughed, cried, and felt all the emotions of the characters. a truly welll done piece 🥰 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/21/25 Full Review Patrice G Thoughtful and nuanced portrayal of teenage love and heartbreak. Even the portrayal of the parents was relatable and balanced. Loved the depiction of ADHD, awkward romantic interactions of teens and the addition of the Inkwell & Howard University. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Read all reviews
