I don't think I'd actually posted after watching the ending, I've given the show quite a bit of stick for a while, but I enjoyed the ending. Not so much because of its content itself, to be perfectly honest there wasn't a shadow of doubt in my mind it would end with Ted & Robin together, and I reckoned they'd probably kill the mother off. When you look into it, it's a bit sick. But I cared so little for most of the characters by the end that it didn't really matter to me, and I thought it at least felt a bit real. I thought the finale itself was rushed, and despite liking the resolution of some characters (I enjoyed the way Barney supposedly turns his life around, though it could've lasted a real 20 minute episode and been entertaining, not just boxed in between two other scenes), I would've wanted to see more. I think they managed to give a feeling of reality for some stuff, how the friends drift apart from the group they had in their 20s and so on, I don't know it felt sincere. And we watched the 5-6 final episodes as binge watching, and I enjoyed them more, I thought the last few episodes were quite funny once again.
Anyway, I say I enjoyed it, really I enjoyed it mildly, I guess my expectations were just very low.
