TV show description:
Based on the graphic novel of the same name from Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson, the Happy! TV show centers on a former cop, Nick Sax (Meloni). Now a hitman, Nick finds himself unmoored in a treacherous world full of murder and meaningless hook-ups. One day, though, his drunken, depressing existence is turned upside down by Happy (Oswalt), an imaginary unicorn.
As a big city police detective, Nick was something of a superstar. After losing everything, he finds himself pretty much on the skids. Now working as a killer for hire, Nick blows what little cash he earns on drugs and booze.
Little Happy is silly, screwy, and persistently positive, which makes him the polar opposite of the snarky, cynical Nick. Together, this unlikely duo is partner up. Can they save the day?
There’s nothing stalwart single mother Amanda Hanson (Senghore) won’t do for her daughter, Hailey (Lorenzo). When the girl is kidnapped, Amanda’s world crumbles. In her fight to bring home her child, this mom must confront her personal demons.
Although he operates a legitimate wine import business, the fiendish Francisco Scaramucci, a.k.a. Mr. Blue (Coster), is far too wealthy to have come by his affluence honestly. It is from his extra-legal initiatives that he really rakes it in. Smoothie (Fischler), is the stooge who serves as Mr. Blue’s interrogator, and his methods truly are madness
Finally, there’s Meredith McCarthy (Mirojnick). A tenacious homicide detective, Merry is used to fighting to make her mark in a man’s world. In order to safeguard her aging mother and hang onto her job, Merry has not been above compromising her values or her honor. As her past comes back to haunt her, will it prove her damnations or her salvation? Stay tuned.
Series Finale:
Episode #18 — Resurrection
Sonny broadcasts his Easter Eggtacular; Sax, Amanda and Happy try desperately to rescue Hailey from meeting a terrible fate.
First aired: May 29, 2019.
What do you think? Do you like the Happy! TV series? Should this TV show have been cancelled or renewed for a third season on Syfy?
I like the show. A fantasy cop/murder mystery. Keep it coming. Who couldn’t love a blue donkey unicorn with wings.
I’m enjoying the show. It’s entertaining and different. I hope it has a long run!
LOVE IT!!! So funny. KEEP IT GOING – PLEASE.
Thumbs up!
I love it. The best show in ages, laughed my a#$ off.
This show is disgusting! I tried to watch it for the first time last night, but because of all awful language, gruesome things that were happening on the show, I had to turn it off. And why was it on during prime time? Kids should not be watching this show at all! No wonder there’s so much bad going on in the world, with terrible shows like Happy. There was nothing happy about it!
Fortunately it is CABLE TV… no, kids should not be watching it… not under 15 anyway. Show is awesome! If you like imaginative and twisted. It does not fit the mold.
Tv is not the cause of all of society’s ills. You can’t censor everything just because kids MIGHT be watching. That’s what parents are for!
I love this show my son and I watch it together
I honestly don’t watch a whole lot of tv, but this, this is gold! The action the comedy everything about it. Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson should be legends.great show great concept keep it going for ages!
I love this show! And anyone calling it crap should check the ratings, its had the highest ratings syfy has seen in awhile. That many people can’t be wrong. A second season would be in syfy’s best interest. This show is funny, has an amazing writing team, and the crazy graphics are right on par with the show. I loved Christopher Meloni and Patton Oswalt before and now I’m HUGE fans of theirs!!!!
I watched the first two episodes back to back. My face hurt by the end from laughing so much. Meloni is perfectly and absurdly insane. I am never ever going to be able to get the image of him running down the street in an open back hospital gown and lug soled boots out of my head. Running away from camera… open back hospital gown. Go. Watch. Now.
This show is insane but also so funny. Chris Malone is such a incredibly, great comedian. He has been in so many dramatic roles, it was great to see him perform in this show. Bobby Moyiham is so happy and sweet. We love this show. Hope it is not cancelled!
This show confuse me they right now it look like an perfect show for July 31st 2012 show at 9PM.
I absolutely love this show!!!!!!!!!
its great,haven’t laughed so hard in a long time.
i never liked the star but this is his best.
its to short,it started than it ended,rats.
can’t wait till next wed.
please renew.
SYFY cancelled such a great show as Dark Matter and put this crap on tv. Sorry, don’t like it. Watched it once and that is time I’ll never get back. SYFY who is making such horrible decisions?
