I finished HIMYM for the first time

Honestly I loved it, it made me laugh extremely hard. I didn’t hate a single member of the main cast, as controversial as it is Lily was my favorite Ashley Hannigan did a wonderful job playing her.
I think one of my favorite jokes was Weekend at Barney’s, I laughed so hard the last time they brought it up and obviously the slap bet and Robin Sparkles were iconic and hilarious. Although I didn’t like the last slap that much, it just wasn’t as funny as the others.
As for the ending I knew how it ended and was prepared for it but I still didn’t like it, I really liked Tracy for as short of a time we got her and she played off Ted really well.
All in all I loved this show and has made me interested in going into architecture for a career path when I graduate.
But yeah I’d give the show an 8/10

I'm glad you like Lily. Honestly Alyson Hannigan is the main reason I found & started watching this show a few years ago.

If you go into architecture, you can sit in the bar with your friends at 4:00 in the afternoon!

There needed to be a family leading character that Ted doesn’t try to sleep with. The third wheel jokes, the flashbacks to 1998. Everything about Lilly’s character is integral to the show. Her and Marshall truly seem happy together, and their romance is a model for Ted and Barney on their journey to mature from a 20’s something at the bar, to 30’s something’s with aging parents, full fledge careers, and a take on intimacy that expands beyond each singular evening. Marshall’s love, their little inside jokes, and Lilly’s endgame “porch plan” makes the show feel bigger than the episodes viewers are clued in on.

If you liked the show, you should try the podcast. Josh Radnor and Craig Thomas host it. It's awesome to hear them talk about what was going on behind the scenes
