How I Met Your Mother is a fantastic sitcom. If you are a fan of romantic comedy combined with drama and musical, this show has it all. It is captivating from the pilot episode until the end of the series. The story is about friendship and finding true love. However, it is not a typical love story, as the show is full of dozens of plots.
How I Met Your Mother is just as famous as the show Friends and The Office, and it rates 8.3/10 on IMDb. Fans fell in love with the characters, and critics have favorable opinions. Craig Thomas and Carter Bays are the authors of the American show. Although the story revolves around a young man and his love struggles, it mostly shows all five friends and their adventures.

Ted Mosby is the star character of the How I Met Your Mother show. The first season begins in the year 2030, presenting Ted with his kids on a brown couch (I feel like the whole series is an icon). He then proceeds to tell his kids how he met their mother.
The story begins back in 2005 when he was just 27 years old and still living with his friends Marshall Eriksen and Lily Aldrin. Ted is an architect, Marshall, a law student, and Lily, a kindergarten teacher with a passion for art. On the way, he becomes a friend with Barney Stinson, an all-the-time-costume-guy that likes to flirt and loves himself too much. The hopeless romantic Ted is looking for his soulmate and meets a beautiful Canadian reporter, Robin Scherbatsky.
Ted gets into a relationship with Victoria making Robin jealous; however, once they start doing long-distance, things fell apart. Another relationship that fells apart is Marshall’s and Lily’s. The nine-year-old sweet bond breaks as Lily wants to do more with her life and lives both Marshall and the audience heartbroken.

Robin and Barney’s marriage is not working at all, and in the end, up divorcing. After a one night stand, Barney’s life is about to change completely, as he gets the girl pregnant. He becomes the father of a baby girl. Barney turns into a serious and caring parent, leaving the playboy life behind.
At the gang reunion, we see Barney and Robin single; Ted married happily to Tracy, and the forever sweet couple with baby Marvin. Sadly, Tracy dies of illness in 2024. As he finishes the story, his kids encourage him to pursue his feelings for Robin. Therefore, Ted goes to Robin and shows her the French stolen horn.
We strongly recommend How I Met Your Mother, so it’s up to you to accept the challenge. The show is perfect for chilling out. Until then, follow Barney’s Stinson advice, “Whenever I’m sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead.”
