HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER is a comedy about Ted (Josh Radnor) and how he fell in love. It all started when Ted's best friend, Marshall (Jason Segel), dropped the bombshell that he was going to propose to his longtime girlfriend, Lily (Alyson Hannigan), a kindergarten teacher. At that moment, Ted realized that he had better get a move on if he, too, hopes to find true love. Helping him in his quest is his friend Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), a confirmed bachelor with endless, sometimes outrageous opinions, a penchant for suits and a foolproof way to meet women. When Ted meets Robin (Cobie Smulders), he's sure it's love at first sight, but destiny has something else in store. The series is narrated through flashbacks from the future.

At one point it was my favourite sitcom. A great gang of likeable protagonists and every episode was like a dose of good mood. The first season made we want to be in New Your to live those funny moments together with Ted, Robin, Barney, Marshal and Lily, but then things get unnecessarily contrived, the characters don’t evolve at all (even if the show tries to claim they do) and the quality of the humour becomes noticeably lower. The first season of HIMYM was like real life, I felt that something like that could be happening across the pond, but now, at the end of the fifth season? HIMYM has become completely detached from reality, with events that could never happen, and I stopped rooting for most of the protagonists. The first two seasons or so were proper five stars, then it went down to four and I would give three stars to the fifth.

I liked this show a lot all those many years ago, but after two seasons it started losing its breath and went through a crisis of sorts. After Season 6, I gave up on watching it altogether. This year, I started reviewing shows I'd already seen, so I gave it another chance and made it to the end. I'm not going to lie; my frustration grew with each successive season, so I was really surprised that the final season wasn't the worst one. As I said, the first two seasons were okay, but the quality started to fade in the third season, and then it went downhill from there. But I hung in there and I’m truly proud of myself. / Lesson learned: It could have been way more legen...wait for it...dary!

Where Friends ended... ...in fact Friends continues, just with a different cast. And yeah, it’s pretty funny, but maybe even more cheap moralizing than before. And all the rest of the characters are well-written (and acted, in fact), the main character is quite the opposite. You want to kill him from the very first episode. Which harms the series as a whole, which is a shame.

I take it back that this series is not my cup of coffee. It's awesome! Barney is a god, Robin is a god, Lilly and Marshall are gods, and I'll even put up with Ted eventually. And like others have written, this sitcom is more from life than any other. It's just that season 9 failed miserably... not to mention the finale.

This series does not deserve such high ratings, the last season was absolutely terrible and the quality of the show went downhill, but the last episode did manage to touch me, which I appreciate. In the end, it ended quite nicely. This was for the fans. Originally, I saw this series as a replacement for "Friends", the concept is essentially the same, some jokes are identical. However, in the end, I developed such a connection to these characters that "HIMYM" became one of the two shows that I had to watch regularly as soon as it aired. I like shows where I form a connection with the characters, and I had it here. Thanks to this series, I started to admire Jason Segel and because of him, I'm happy when Maria Hill appears in Marvel movies from time to time. However, I have to say that I'm glad the ninth season ended. It couldn't continue like this anymore.
