3. Unique concept
I find that its interesting how, the show is set in the present, yet its a story being told in the past sense.
Non linear narrative.
Also how even though there are 5 main characters, the show is initially centred around 1 of them. As its of a group of tales of how he came closer to meeting the mother of his kids, hence the title.
