How I Met Your Mother: "Big Days (season premeire)" Review

Last season of How I Met Your Mother, while still enjoyable, became rather...sitcom-y. In a bad way. The plots lacked originality, characters made questionable decisions, and the overall arc of the show was almost completely lost in a flurry of subplots we mostly did not care about. Fortunately, the writers have acknowledged this and expressed an interest in "fixing it" promising, as so many showrunners do, a return to the good 'ol days of the early seasons. So far? Mission Accomplished.

-One episode in and now we actually have a location of where Ted will meet the mother

-The episode was almost entirely set in the pub, which is definitely not a bad thing.

-Loved Marshall's exit from the office. "Que the music."

-Overall, the season looks to be promising as this episode actually felt like it could have fit in during Season 2 or 3. Hopefully, the rest of the seasons maintains something to that effect.
