Bland, cliche. No chemistry. Tired jokes.I’ll still watch the damn thing though.

I watched 4 mins of the first episode and had to turn it off. The acting is so cringe and the writing is a big ole oft… just no.

I've read several reviews saying that people shouldn't expect HIMYF to be like HIMYM.

Well the fact is that this show wouldn't have any interest and be produced if it wasn't for the success of HIMYM and they obviously hope to catch lightning in a bottle a second time. But that will definitely not happen if they don't use the same formula and the same or equivalent talent. And this is nothing like HIMYM and it's really bad. Hillary Duff is the only actor and character that brings any kind of substance, but the rest is a forgettable boring mess. The humor is so absent that the laugh tracks feels just as displaced as it would in Schindlers List. I have funnier and more creative dialogues with my mother.… Expand

I love Hilary Duff & Kim Catrall but this is a big no for me. The comedy in this show is way too used, too many clichés, and a simpler comedy that I just don't see a future for this show.

Absolute garbage. Bad acting, not funny, already outdated. Stay clear from this awful creation.

Why are people telling me that I can't compare this to How I met Your Mother? It has the same name and for godsake it has the same intro. The jokes suck and feel out of date already, it looks like the jokes are from Vine and made byWhy are people telling me that I can't compare this to How I met Your Mother? It has the same name and for godsake it has the same intro. The jokes suck and feel out of date already, it looks like the jokes are from Vine and made by millenials that are stuck in the early 2010s. The acting is just so bad and tell me, why the laugh track? Please just get rid of it, we're not in the 90s anymore. I do like that they're in New York like in HIMYM.… Expand

A atuação de alguns atores me faz lembrar daquelas séries infantis de baxo orçamental da Disney e Nickelodeon. A única q escapa é a Duffy, mas ela não irá conseguir carregar essa série sem graça nas costas até uma segunda temporada.

Not funny, all over the place, lame punchlines and comebacks, not very much relatable after all.

Horrible show. For those of you saying you can't compare the show to How I Met Your Mother, that's ridiculous, it's a spin-off of that show so of course it's going to be compared to it.

For those of you saying you can't compare the show to How I Met Your Mother, that's ridiculous, it's a spin-off of that show so of course it's going to be compared to it. I did not have high hopes for the show but did go into watching it with an open mind, hoping to find something likable about but I didn't. I don't mind the laugh tracks but they at least have to go along with a funny joke which I have yet to find in this show. The group of friends seem very disjointed. Too many main characters make it hard to follow and gives you less time to get to know each character. Very disappointing start to the show. If you're gonna make a spin-off of a well beloved show, you have to do your best to hook in the audience from the start. This show fails to do that on all levels.… Expand

Everyone involved in this should be executed so that they can never do it again. There's nothing here that hasn't been done a million times. Unoriginal. Badly written. Poorly acted.

Unoriginal. Badly written. Poorly acted. Most of the characters are unlikeable but Charlie is deeply unlikeable.
And it tries so desperately to bridge the generation gap that there's literally a character explains modern slang and wokeness to the old people.
The jokes are so unfunny that if it weren't for the laugh track you'd have no idea you were watching a comedy.

For the "don't compare it to the original" brigade. It's literally called How I Met Your Father and has the same theme. What else did you expect people to do? As I saw in a review, How I Met Your Father is the worst of How I Met Your Mother. But even if you ignore the original, this is just horrendous.… Expand
