Reasons to watch “How I met your father”
Your connection with HIMYM
If you were a fan of “How I met your mother”, you may be pleased to know that “How I met your father” is set in the universe of the original series.

A modern history in New York
If your thing is the stories of this time that break stereotypes, you may like this story, since it is not the typical New York of “Friends” or even “How I met your mother” itself.
The series begins with Sophie (Hilary Duff) in the year 2050 telling her son the story of how she met his father and takes the viewer to the New York of 2021.

Reasons not to see “How I met your father”
A bit forced diversity
In recent years we have seen how Hollywood wants to make its productions more and more inclusive. However, sometimes this does not happen naturally, but forced.
This is not something that “How I met your father” does not escape, where the cast that gives life to the group of friends is made up of a young British man, three New Yorkers, a lesbian woman with Asian roots and a man with Indian roots.

Although the series explains where each one comes from, it is a bit difficult at the beginning not to notice that the production and the writers wanted to push diversity in their cast.
a repeated formula
As if the title of the series did not suggest it enough, “How I met your father” tries to pay homage to what “How I met your mother” did.
Thus, the dynamic of the series is repeated with an older Sophie telling her son how she met his father. However, this time who appears on the screen is the protagonist and we only hear the voiceover of her son.
