Admittedly it’s hard not to compare HIMYF to HIMYM as a diehard fan of the OG series, but they’re not the exact same. Keeping the guys’ apartment in this version gives the familiarity of what once was and is a comforting homage if you watched the original. Seeing those swords on the wall brings back all the nostalgic feels of Ted and Marshall’s time living there. HIMYF is a modern update to HIMYM for the newer generations showcasing how different dating is in current times from Tinder swiping for the perfect match to the financial struggles of the millennials which is very accurate for many in today’s age. With the inclusive cast we as viewers are following along the journey of finding happiness and success during the pivotal surge of social media lifestyles. As an avid fan of Hilary Duff from my younger years (no pun intended), I would imagine this is the world she envisioned for her breakout character Lizzie McGuire failed reboot which I commend her on passing as Lizzie deserved to be given a more mature justification in order to succeed. I am writing this after having just finished watching the latest episode 8 The Perfect Shot and so far I’m enjoying the story line, excited to see where Kim Catrall’s figuratively animated narrating will take us.
