How I Met Your Father: Pathetic Deirdre (2023)
Season 2, Episode 4
1/10
Extremely dated, mean-spirited, badly acted
21 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The whole character of Ellen is pure high-energy cringe, and it peaks here, with inexplicable outbursts of nonsense and absurdly terrible choices throughout. Everything about her character, from the terrible multi-camera sitcom acting to the consistently insane behavior that does not resemble actual humans, screams bad mid-90s comedy.

And then we have a storyline for Val and Sophie that seems made to make us hate them. They are, at this point, irredeemably terrible people and Future Sophie is not even apologetic looking back. And instead of them getting their deserved comeuppance for being absolute monsters, it's Deirdre, the character you're actually rooting for, that ends up being the bad guy somehow, in a desperate attempt to paint the protagonists in a good light. And of course no part of this is remotely funny in any way. What were the writers even going for here? The lowest point of this garbage show so far.
