Obviously you are going in comparing it to HIMYM being the fact it is a spin off same flat (apartment) and even a few other similar things the show brings. I mean it isn't bad but it isn't great I've watched the whole first season and I just can't stand the over acting from the character charlie ( british guy) and this is coming from someone who is British. Might get better who knows just didn't have the same feeling I first got with HIMYM. Trying re do something that was already spot on never works out so I haven't high hopes for the rest of this show.
