I don't understand all the 5 star reviews on here. HIMYF is not very funny or witty. The characters are all honestly annoying people. The musician characters wouldn't know good music if they heard it. They're all so lame and lack chemistry or relateablility with each other, and with the viewers. I watched every episode so far and while I like that it is a more modern story, I do wish it was funny or interesting at all. I hope they do better next season with the wit and comedy that made HIMYM so iconic. (Rewatched the original series many times and it's such a great ride)
