CBS television critics have published initial reviews for the upcoming freshman comedy series Eternally Yours, created by Ghosts showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman. The premise centers on a vampire couple married for 500 years, portrayed by Ed Weeks and Allegra Edwards, who attempt to manage suburban life and a centuries-old marital conflict. Unlike traditional vampire lore, the characters operate during daylight hours within an overcast climate. Early critical assessments describe the pilot episode as severely anemic, citing pacing issues, premature plot developments, and direct thematic comparisons to existing satires such as What We Do in the Shadows. While reviewers commended the comedic cast and observations on long-term relationships, initial evaluations indicate the series struggles to establish a distinct identity.
