This is saddening. I knew it was unlikely to come close to HIMYM, but I expected something along the lines of those intellectual witty conversational jokes, something resembling the competent and humorous acting and the heartfelt, almost genuine relationships they portrayed in the original.
I got none of that.
From the first scene, I was disappointed. The acting is incredibly forced, as are the jokes. Fake, unfunny, contrived.
I wish they’d not tried to relate this to HIMYM, muddying the good name of a truly iconic series.
Could they just choose a different name and then go on with their circus production?
I don’t know who greenlit this. Unfortunately, a rather poor attempt at keeping some of the original magic alive.
Another failure in this age of reboots and sequels..
It’s different writers anyways, if I am not mistaken.
