COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Starting a Slow Decline, But Still Good submitted by Meginator on August 22, 2022, 9:52am This season is where, for me at least, this show begins to feel a little long in the tooth. Early on, the show suddenly takes back some significant character growth for no good reason other than the writers apparently needed to create some drama and chose this particular direction for it. This eventually happens with almost all long-running shows, but in the context of a show that uses frequent callbacks and focuses so heavily on the narrator’s known future the effect is particularly annoying. It’s not all bad, however, and this season does include a few landmark episodes even if the ratio of brilliant to forgettable begins to flow in the wrong direction. The final few episodes are particularly strong, and the season-long relief from constant allusions to the as-yet nonexistent mother allows for different members of the core group to get their moments in the spotlight. This season is less about the mother and more about Ted and his friends, and that is ultimately its saving grace in a run of otherwise unremarkable storylines and individual episodes.
