When comparing the two, “Maggie” is superior in look and execution [to “How I Met Your Father”. ... And it’s biggest strength is that it’s not only the story of Maggie and Ben, but a true ensemble comedy.
-
“Maggie” distinguishes itself from many of its predecessors by having no laugh track and actually being funny.
-
It’s often sweet, frequently quite funny, and occasionally has something interesting to say about how always looking to the future will have real consequences in the present. There’s enough here, in other words, to keep us excited about the future of Maggie.
-
Maggie‘s amiable tone lands closer to likable than irresistible. To put it in terms its looking-for-love heroine might understand: This series is a nice summer fling, not a once-in-a-lifetime love. ... Maggie proves most interesting when it’s not focused on love at all, or at least not the romantic kind. Its richest and most rewarding relationship is the one between Maggie and her childhood BFF, Lou.

Maggie is more cute than funny, but if Hulu gives it space to develop a vision, this show could have a future.
