Forever It’s a pretty good week for Netflix TV, as the service has not one but two 100% scored shows this week. I’ve already written about one, so I figured that I would focus on the other, a brand new series that isn’t returning for a new season, but something original. Well, original but still based on a book. That show is Forever, actually written as FOREVER in all caps, a romantic drama that spans eight 45-50 minute episodes and stars Michael Cooper Jr., Lovie Simone and Xosha Roquemore. It’s based on of all things, a Judy Blume novel from 1975, not some sort of modern, YA-type story. Here’s the synopsis: “New Year’s, 2018. Justin and Keisha feel an instant spark. But can they last forever? This Gen Z love story has all the feels—and a playlist to match.” Yes, this is an MA-rated show featuring sex and nudity based on children’s author Judy Blume’s book from 1975. But this was not a kids book, a breakout concept for Blume, and it was so controversial at the time given its focus on teenage sexuality that it ended up being banned in many places and was censored in others. The 1975 version did not feature leading black characters like the “Gen Z” version does, which may not be a surprise. Forever The show currently has a perfect 100% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, albeit no audience score in yet. On IMDB, however, it has a great 7.7/10 from fans. The series has debuted at #2 on Netflix’s Top 10 list, which is very solid for a brand new series. If it can keep this viewership up, a second season of a relatively cheap, well-received show like this should be in the cards. This is not listed as a miniseries so it stands to reason they are shooting for more. Though I don’t know if this season is adapting the entire Blume book, and if they’d have to write original material after this. I’m sure a lot has been changed anyway given the 50 year gap between this show and the book. There are not all that many romantic dramas that score this high on Netflix, but this one has really landed. I do not recognize any members of this cast, and browsing through their history, a big Netflix show like this is certainly the most high-profile thing any of them has done. And it’s gone very, very well. Check it out for yourself, as it’s live now on the site. Follow me on Twitter , YouTube , Bluesky and Instagram .
