Why Do Critics Hate ‘How I Met Your Father’? They All Seem to Agree

The new series attempts to put a fresh take on a popular story, but in doing so, it still somehow feels both dated and, again, not funny. If any of the jokes landed, perhaps critics and audience members alike would be more forgiving.

HIMYF takes HIMYM’s strained storyline, uncomfortable laugh track (which only accentuates how unfunny the jokes are), and an unrealistic New York perspective. However, it leaves behind its predecessor’s witty jokes, relatable characters, and believability.
