Dec 11, 2017 | Full Review… Staci Krause IGN Movies View All Critic Reviews (1) Audience Reviews for How I Met Your Mother: Season 2 Dec 12, 2018 HIMYM continues with a pleasant, pretty funny, and also pretty raunchy second season, with sweet moments and plenty of good jokes, although it still boasts a cast of terrible role models. Gavin A Aug 12, 2016 No sé, no me causó mucha gracia. Yoneida R Dec 08, 2015 This show continues to pack in the hilarity and life lessons. A must watch. Alexandra D Oct 10, 2015 Yet again One word wait for it....Legendary. Joshua P Oct 10, 2015 I enjoyed the season, just as much as the first. The only negative critria I might have, would be that they used a lot more melodrama for the storys, but it's still awesome. The characters get more attributes to them. Marshall = not only the 'Marshmallow', he struggles through the season a few times, especially at the beginning. On the other hand, we have Lily, who gets a lot more goofier. We learn more about Robin, she's afraid to show love, she has a fetish for weapons/shooting..... . We learned 'the origins of Barney' suits, women and stuff. And Ted, well Ted is still Ted, you know...... Damn, I never realized Ted was basically Ted the whole time, but doesn't matter he's still very likeable. He see all struggle and change, which fits perfect with their story. The acting of course is again amazing. 9,5/10, no question, still great. Jan R Aug 18, 2015 Just about as strong as season one, but Cobie Smulders shows that she has the chops,; her character was even better this time around. David J Mar 20, 2015 A substantial improvement over the first season; How I Met Your Mother's second season gave us character development for each character (remember, this is actually a sitcom), and delivered memorable after memorable episode. Perhaps the only issue would be the finale practically undoes everything the season was supposedly building towards. Justin P Feb 28, 2015 Honestly one of the best seasons. Zachary H Jul 07, 2014 Better then season 1 Jared L Jun 21, 2014 Funny and Clever. Now, let's go to the mall!
