This series resonates with viewers because it captures the complexities of relationships and how to balance personal desires with familial expectations. Audiences can relate to the show's relatable characters and realistic storylines. The show's honest portrayal of young black love also provides fresh perspective and much-needed representation. I thoroughly enjoyed the first season. Kiesha's story delved into her struggle with her reputation and the sacrifices mothers make to provide for their child(ren). The show also emphasizes the importance of community and its impact on one's identity. With its compelling narrative, it highlights the struggles and resilience of single mothers.
It kept me engaged with its music, scenes, and portrayal of young black love-truly eloquent. It evoked a range of emotions as I watched. However, Justin's mom is overbearing! As a mom of three, I feel that she does too much. I eagerly await the next season. I hope the next season brings more depth to the characters and their relationships. I'm curious to see how Justin navigates his mom's influence while pursuing his own happiness. The show has so much potential, and I can't wait to see how the story unfolds.
Overall, the series offers a powerful and nuanced depiction of love, family, and personal growth.

A really great series. Honestly, one of the best teen romance series I've seen in a very long time. It wasn't too corny, it wasn't too much, it was just right. The perfect amount of intensity. While you're watching, it actually feels like you're reflecting on your own past teen love story. It felt real. You really feel the emotions the characters are going through. It was perfect. And I love that we finally have a series that portrays Black love so beautifully. Overall One of my favourite new shows of the year so far! Amazing acting, writing, directing, music... I'm actually blown away. Don't sleep on this!. I hope we get to see more development of the other cast in season 2!
Every once in a while, a series comes along that completely sweeps you off your feet-one that leaves you thinking about it long after the final episode ends. This love story is exactly that. Beautiful, raw, and emotionally rich, it captures the magic of young love in a way that feels authentic, relatable, and heart-meltingly sweet. From the very first episode, I was completely hooked.
There's something truly special about the way this series unfolds. The chemistry between the characters is undeniable and so naturally portrayed that you feel like you're witnessing real love in the making. It's not overly dramatic or forced-it's genuine, and that's what makes it so captivating. The storytelling is heartfelt, and every moment, from the awkward first glances to the emotionally charged confessions, is thoughtfully executed. It's like watching a poem unfold on screen.
When I say this series is a must-watch, I mean it with every fiber of my being. I stumbled upon it by chance, and I'm so incredibly glad I did. I went in with no expectations and ended up finishing the entire season in a single day. That's how gripping it is. Every episode flows into the next so seamlessly, it's almost impossible to stop watching. You'll laugh, you'll swoon, and you might even shed a tear or two.
One of the things that stood out most to me is how well the story highlights the beauty of young love-how powerful, intense, and meaningful it can be. It's a reminder that love doesn't have to be complicated or dramatic to be deeply moving. There's a kind of purity and honesty here that is often missing in mainstream romance dramas. It brings back all those butterflies, those moments of uncertainty, the sweetness of holding someone's hand for the first time-it's nostalgic in the best possible way.
And let's talk about the writing-because wow. Whoever is behind this masterpiece, I need to see more of their work. The script is thoughtful, emotionally resonant, and just so well done. There's a depth to the dialogue that makes the characters feel multidimensional, and every line serves a purpose. The story builds slowly, but with intention, drawing you deeper and deeper into the characters' world. You become invested in their journey, their growth, their happiness.
Honestly, anyone who says they didn't like this series must not have truly given it a chance-or maybe they just don't believe in love, because this story will make even the biggest skeptics soften. It's that good. It's the kind of series you want to recommend to all your friends just so you have someone to gush about it with. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.
In a sea of overproduced dramas and forgettable love stories, this one stands out as a true gem. It's refreshing, it's sincere, and it's absolutely unforgettable. I can only hope this isn't the last we see of these characters-or the incredible talent behind the scenes. I would absolutely love to see more from this writer, this director, and anyone involved in making this series come to life.
So if you're looking for a show that will warm your heart, make you smile, and remind you that love-real, young, genuine love-still exists, do yourself a favor and hit play. This series is more than just a show. It's an experience.
Must-watch. Must-rewatch. Must-share.

I absolutely loved this series. There aren't many new beautiful Black love stories out there, and this one truly stood out in such a special way. The ending was heartfelt, emotional without a sad tragedy. I was in tears of happiness at some points, completely drawn into every scenario that unfolded, as the story felt so real and relatable. The selected soundtrack was perfectly chosen, and fitted amazingly well, enhancing each moment with so much depth and emotion.
I couldn't stop watching and ended up finishing it in one day. What moved me most was seeing the maturity and deep bond portrayed across different generations, it was powerful to witness love through so many lenses. I genuinely want more. It would be amazing to see future seasons, watching these characters grow and evolve as life continues.
We don't get black shows like this often enough. Thank you to the writer, director, and producer for crafting such an authentic and beautiful love story.

I laughed, cried, cheered, smiled. I got angry, I yelled, I clapped. I experienced so many different emotions watching this series. It was like I knew the characters and could really feel and understand what they felt. Absolutely incredible and would love a season two!
This is a Netflix film that cannot go without giving another season. It's called forever, so what's next. Where does life take everyone? Does old people get the opportunity to find each other again? Or do we meet new people?
I truly recommend this series to people who love, love because it was felt, heard and seen. It teaches life lessons also.
AMAZING JOB TO THE ENTIRE CAST AND PRODUCTION TEAM!
