Forever (2018)
Introverted masterpiece
This show is wonderful and beautiful, sad without being over the top, and hilarious without being overt.
It's very cerebral, and definitely not for the slower thinking "I thought it would be like SNL" crowd.
It's an introverted masterpiece.
How I Met Your Mother: Hopeless (2011)
In reference to the first review
Mindy is the name of the character who complimented the infamous red boots. The girl with Barney at the bar went unnamed and uncredited, and thusly it took me a while (and a lot of frustration) to place her, but I did; she is Clark Gilmer from season 11 of America's Next Top Model.
I found the episode adequate. I've noticed that HIMYM seems to have hard time mixing melancholy or serious themes into their generally laid- back plots. IMO, generally, if an emotional moment does come it's usually noticeably disjointed from the rest of the episode, or even sometimes at the very end of an episode, during the last few seconds of the very last scene. This results in a somewhat polarizing episode list; most of which ending up either completely serious, or completely silly. That aside, I found this episode to have a decent interweaving of humor and emotion. It wasn't my favorite episode, but it wasn't one of the ones that i'll pass over should it re-air either.
WHO IS THAT GIRL THOUGH!!!
