Misunderstood: 'How I Met Your Mother'
Sit-coms have been altered, and there is no longer a laugh track. Instead there is some awkward comedy and some hilarious moments, for example, Brooklyn 99 is legendary. We all love watching Friends over and over again, and seems no matter how many times I watch it, I am still laughing at the jokes. However, what if we are simply misinterpreting How I Met Your Mother. The story is told from the narrator's point of view, Ted Mosby, who is a helpless romantic living in New York city, finding the love of his life. All of his friends he has are all seen from his point of view. We might find the characters unrelatable at times. But maybe this is what the writers wanted? How so, you ask? Well, think about it, Barney is so unrealistically horny, and he wants to have no real relationship and just have sex. Much like Joey Tribiani from Friends, except the difference is that Barney takes all challenges, and basically has sex with anything or any woman that moves. Maybe this is just how Ted sees Barney, when realistically Barney is really just Joey Tribiani, but takes his game to the next level. Then, how perfect Marshal and Lily are—they are also probably not that perfect, again this is just how Ted Mosby sees them. Then, how perfect Robin is—she is always perfect in each and every episode, it feels like she has not once screwed up. Once again, this is all coming from Ted's perspective. It is not how the television wanted to show them. It was how Ted saw all of his friends. When he tells some of the stories, he sometimes has to go back and tell it again, or starts telling another story that is linked to another episode. That's what makes the show relatable. It is how Ted tells the stories, and how he sometimes can't remember certain aspects, so he just makes it up as he goes. Even Barney's apartment, his television was probably not the whole wall, but it was just really big, bigger than anyone has seen, however, Ted probably saw it as a whole wall television. The life-size stormtrooper could actually be real. It is just the characters that are romanticized to how Ted Mosby sees things. Since everything is told from his perspective, then all the characters and everything that happens is not from the audience's perspective, but from Ted Mosby's, and I think that is why some people do not find it relatable.

'Good Trouble' Review
Good Trouble is a TV dramedy on Freeform that is a spin off of the critically acclaimed show The Fosters. In the show, sisters Callie (played by Maia Mitchell) and Mariana (played by Cierra Ramirez) move to Los Angeles to start their lives after college. Maia Mitchell and Ciera Ramirez are actually executive producers of the show, and best friends in real life. Callie is an aspiring lawyer while Mariana dreams of being an engineer. The first season of the show was released in the beginning of this year and this past week, they just released the last episode of their second season. Both seasons can be streamed on Hulu, and there are a total of 25 episodes. The show has yet to be renewed for a third season, but I would certainly count on it.

Season 5 of 'Lucifer'
They are now saying that Season 5 of Lucifer, will be the last, and final season, but that it will be split into two parts. Yes, two parts. Filming for part one of Season 5 starts in September, but we won't see any actual episodes until sometime in 2020. We still have to wait a few more months to see how this story will end.

'The Dragon Prince' Season 2: There Are Dragons Now!
There's dragons now! Dragons in the show titled "The Dragon Prince!" It only took 2 seasons for dragons to show up! But in all seriousness, this season of Netflix's The Dragon Prince was a vast improvement from the first season of the show, and had a lot more of what I hoped for the series, including more dragons.

Feel Good Animation Watch List
The last couple of weeks have been rough, we are living a time where violence and hate are on our screens at all times. With all that's going on sometimes, it's good to give yourself a break and watch or listen to things that are not connected to the "real world" and will bring you some peace.
