I mean he's not a leftist. I'm ignoring the constant sexual harassment and latent homophobia that seems to permeate the entire show and pretty much every character here and also that he's like a huge dick, but all his criticisms of people, the system and the world are oddly leftist. Never really noticed when I watched it back in it's heyday.
Yeah I rewatched this not too long ago, hoping that running it at 2x speed would make it better. It did for the most part.
I never saw the last season and when I saw it, I found I was right that the show was "How I Met Your Mother, starring Aunt Robin"
The final episode really ruined the show entirely.

The total fuck you of undoing robin and Barney was unforgivable
