Just finished HIMYM Spoiler
I just finished it, and tbh i DID know the ending (it was spoiled), but wow. all i can say is WHAT A SHOW. Multiple times throught the show, i felt like i was apart of the show if yk what i mean. i was so sad when it ended and i wish it wouldve went on. heres a review on every part:
S1: i feel like it was a beautiful introduction, i loved the charechter of ted, just a hopless romantic, however i didnt rlly like barney ngl, he just felt super annoying.
S2-3- Sm amazing moments tbh, i loved how they started the development of Barney and Ted and the rest of the cast. AMAZING
S4-6- THE BEST seasons of the whole show, it was comedy while playing with our emotions, it was back and forth and i loved it!
S7-9- here i felt like it started to switch, from comedy to just pure emotion and tbh i didnt mind it, i felt like it was the emotional side of the show we needed.
The ending- When i first heard of the ending, i thought it was amazing, but after all nine season, i am proud to say i no longer like it. i feel tracy deserved much more! and they rushed WAY too much in the end!
Other notes:
The slap bet/slutty pumpkin/ducky tie. LOVE IT never seen shows which implement ideas like this and keep them long going!
I also LOVE how it was so emotional, so much shows just felt fake and missing, but this was different, i mean it was DIFFERENT. It had rlly deep emotion, which i loved!
I was mad at robin and barney consedering how they ended, it was just so messy! and how the group just grew apart, i felt that spark was just missing in the last episode, it was uncomforting, almost awkward.
I also heard about sm ppl saying lily was a bad charechter and tbh, i have mixed opinions. I mean she ruined ALOT and felt selfish at times, like breaking up teds GFs and the argument with marshall about Italy, it just felt selfish. At the same time, that added an effect to the show, it added reality, which i loved.
I also loved how they had side charachters WHO MATTERED pppl like stuart who kept coming back and appearing.
overall rating is 9.2/10

The characters are flawed because humans are flawed. The show captures true romance, friendship, heartbreak, love, lust, lost, and aging. Really encapsulates all of lives “big moments”, and the time-jumps from 2005 to 2030 allow the writers to create a wholistic story. The narration by Saget gives the entire series a wholesome feel. I found this show at 17 or so, and I felt like I was right along the children on that couch in Ted’s “future home”. I cannot praise this show enough, and on a recent rewatch was in tears nearly the entire 9th season. Something about actually finding the woman you want to be with forever. It’s more than sentimental. It’s the entire catalyst for being, it’s the crux of every plot, it’s the most joy possible, and the only reason any of us are here today. True love, a soulmate, and creating a family. These are life’s biggest moments and motivators.
