I still find myself occasionally rewatching some episodes, because, while each one progresses the story as a whole, they also mostly contain an encapsuled sub-story and moral. I love this very much, and between the awesome characters and the emotional yet still funny story, this becomes one of, if not my favourite Sitcom of all time.… Expand

I loved this series because you can pick up from anywhere and still find it hilarious. It is even better if you watch the whole thing through because there are so many little jokes that they carry throughout the series.

It is even better if you watch the whole thing through because there are so many little jokes that they carry throughout the series. Similar to older shows like Friends, there are many jokes in this show that may be taken as offensive. Overall, the show is hilarious and very engaging.… Expand

The best sitcom ever funny and well written story with a lot of attention to details and easter eggs.

A wonderful show about love and life. Though some of the later seasons have corny moments, this show makes you feel so many emotions, and I love it...

Amazing Sitcom until Season 9. That Season destroyed a lot. Until then a 10/10 Show but i can't ignore Season 9.

The episodes were always filled with good stories, good acting, and amazing comedy. The show is full of life lessons, it teaches you small but important things we try to find. It is such a good sitcom and each season was worth watching. Had there been another season, the show would have dragged on too long, for all good things must come to an end. Would defiantly recommend this show to others.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s a nice show however it sometimes felt like a FRIENDS rip-off. I love the show itself don’t get me wrong but using the same tropes, same storylines, even once using the same actress for the same storyline (really Precious and Natalie getting dumped on their birthday.. kind of lazy don’t you think?). Also what was the point of a season long Barney-Robin wedding preparation to just suddenly divorce the next episode? The show had it’s own charm itself though that helps make it different from FRIENDS. It’s still enjoyable and fun to watch and you might even get a life lesson or two.… Expand

Best show of my life
Comparing the series to "Friends" is stupid for those who say that the series came to fill the place of friends.

As a fan of How I Met Your Mother, I can confidently say that this show is a true gem. The witty writing, lovable characters, and heartwarming moments make this sitcom a must-watch for anyone in need of a good laugh or a heartfelt story. ButAs a fan of How I Met Your Mother, I can confidently say that this show is a true gem. The witty writing, lovable characters, and heartwarming moments make this sitcom a must-watch for anyone in need of a good laugh or a heartfelt story. But what really sets this show apart is its daring finale.

The final episode of How I Met Your Mother sparked controversy among fans, with many criticizing the show's decision to end the series in the way that it did. However, as someone who enjoyed the ending, I believe that it was the perfect way to bring the story full circle. The show's creators took a bold risk in deviating from the expected ending, and it paid off.

Throughout the series, we follow the journey of Ted Mosby, a lovable romantic who is on a quest to find his soulmate. Along the way, we meet a cast of unforgettable characters, including Ted's best friend Barney, his on-again-off-again love interest Robin, and his long-time friends Marshall and Lily. The chemistry between the characters is palpable, and the show does an excellent job of exploring their relationships and individual journeys.

The final episode of the series ties together all of the loose ends in a way that is both satisfying and emotional. Without giving away any spoilers, I will say that the ending left me feeling fulfilled and content. It was a fitting conclusion to a show that had given us so much joy and laughter.

Overall, I would give How I Met Your Mother a 10/10. This show has everything that you could want in a sitcom - humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia. And although the ending may not be to everyone's taste, I believe that it was a brave move that only adds to the show's legacy. If you haven't watched this show yet, I highly recommend that you do. It's legendary.… Expand
