https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forever_%282018_TV_series%29?wprov=sfla1We watched it all tonight. It is so unusual. I loved it by the end. Reviews mixed. I don't think they connected to what was there.
Anybody else watch?

Its bound to hit something you like eventually. Or you may dislike odd generally. It is odd. All of it. I call that charm.

Sort of clever, actually...

The "Andre and Sarah" episode I thought they were going to wind up as neighbors. But the actual ending with the appearance of June was a stunner. It elevated the whole series to classic IMHO.

Forever
(Amazon, Friday, Sept. 14) Not long after I started watching this exquisite eight-episode dramedy from Alan Yang (Master of None) and Matt Hubbard, I realized why the folks at Amazon have been so intent on keeping a lid on its central premise. It seems like a show about two nice, normal suburban yuppies named Oscar and June Hoffman (SNL chums Fred Armisen and Maya Rudolph, in fine form) who are stuck in a marital rut. Then, in a major swerve, Forever becomes a much deeper and almost philosophical look at the concept of eternal love. Seeking to shake things up, the Hoffmans skip their annual vacation at their lake house and go to a ski resort instead. The trip changes the course of their lives profoundly at first for the better, until June realizes shes still dissatisfied being with Oscar. Not only is Forever one of the best shows of the year, Id make it mandatory viewing for couples considering marriage.
