2. How I Met Your Mother
​
Some say that How I met your mother is Friend’s spiritual descendant-similarly, it also follows a close-knit friend group during their adventures in New York City. How I met your mother is the story of how the main character, Ted, met his future wife and all the adventures he and his friends went through that led them there. During the TV show, you’ll meet goofy yet reliable Marshall, womanizer Barney, loyal Lily and sarcastic Canadian Robin. One of the most lovable components of the show apart from the characters is the recurring jokes such as the slap bet or Ranjeet, the taxi driver's appearance. This is a must for anyone who wants a good laugh with a fresh new air.
