This weekend I watched "Forever", a new show streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
Unique, charming, at times funny, sad, and redemptive are words I'd use to describe this show.
The story is about Oscar and June and their long marriage.
Its a quiet story about really big themes.
What's the point of life? How do you stay together when one feels trapped and the other wants to stretch their wings? There are more, but they're not coming to me right now.
I saw a few reviews that talked about an ending in which nothing happens, or it's a cop out. I can't understand that...it all came down to the ending.
I don't want to say anything more because it's worth watching without expectations. I watched the eight episodes last night and today.
I will say, it requires patience and thoughtfulness to appreciate it's subtler moments.
I thought it was well worth it and I hope it has a second season.
