Ep. 74: Forever Ever? Breaking Down Netflix’s ‘Forever’

In this episode, we dive into Netflix’s latest hit Forever, the coming-of-age drama that’s capturing hearts and sparking real conversations. Hosted by your favorite married duo, we break down the series in three powerful sections: Young Love: We unpack the show’s portrayal of early relationships and first impressions, what felt real, what hit close to home, and how the teenage version of love still manages to teach us about ourselves today. Parenting: As parents of teenagers ourselves, we reflect on the emotional tug-of-war of raising teens while still trying to stay connected as individuals and partners. We talk about how Forever nails the highs and lows of modern parenting and how we can relate. Mara Brock Akil: Finally, we spotlight the visionary mind behind the series. From Girlfriends to Being Mary Jane, Mara Brock Akil’s storytelling has shaped how we see ourselves on screen. We discuss her signature style, recurring themes, and why Forever might be her most personal work yet. This episode is part love letter, part real talk.
