    Not bad

    Not that bad compared to what the trailer was. The characters were kinda interesting and i do not dislike them so far, except for Valentina. You cant say that you are magical without doing or saying something to back it up, otherwise it comes accross as arrogant. This would be fine if it is going to be a recurrent joke on the series but we will see. So far it could be a decent continuation.

    Maybe give it a chance

    Not bad, but not that good. Has potentials and needs more episodes to judge. But, why are they trying badly to fit every ethnicity group in such a weird way? Yes, diversity is required, im brown myself. But the way they handle things in hollywood is just not that it.

    Am i gonna keep watching? Yes. Is it half as good as the original? Unfortunately no.

    Ps: they should get rid of the background laughing it doesn't fit here like most of the shows idk why.

    Better than expectee, but a little bit of a stretch

    Funny jokes, but some random connections and forced decisions. Also, the punchline of some jokes could have been better have they not stretched them so much. I mean, 87 tinder dates in 1 year? Coincidentally meeting everyone at the same party? Nevertheless, I found it okay and I'll give it a try and watch the next episodes.

    Shows Promise

    It had some awkward and clunky moments, but the characters are all pretty fun and it's looking pretty clear that they're not just trying to make a 1:1 exact carbon copy of How I Met Your Mother. I'm excited to see the show hopefully find its footing because there's definitely potential.

    Didn't laugh once

    The pilot was really, really uninteresting, it was bland like a generic sitcom you would watch once because there is nothing else on TV and then just forget it exists. I honestly hope it will get better with the next episodes, but so far I didn't like any of the characters and honestly good not laugh at any of the jokes, they were bland and obvious. Someone compared the show to a Disney channel sitcom and it is a very accurate comparison. I am really disappointed, because I really wanted to like it.

      At the beginning of the end credits, it says "In Loving Memory of Bob Saget" who died nine days before this pilot aired. Bob Saget was the narrator for How I Met Your Mother (2005).
    • Goofs
      After Sophie arrives at the bar and everybody yells surprise, a crouching extra near the corner of the bar is seen laughing at the jokes during a few shots. He's also seen a few moments later at the right side of the screen, still not acting quite like he's supposed to.
