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?
This show is like an impulsive fetish… it is imaginative, twisted, and unlike anything else… brutal with no punches pulled… honest. It can be sickening, disgusting, and delightful… like a delicious bad habit, that you don’t want your close friends to know about. In part, that being the problem… who do you want to admit or broadcast to that you love watching this show… None the less. Fantastic.
Love this show!!! Please don’t cancel, and keep the writing as good as it is now!!
very inventive,meloni at his best
I Love this show! Please give it a chance! With all the ways to watch tv now sometimes it takes a while for a show to catch on. I just discovered this On Demand. I can’t wait for the next episode!
I love this show
I love this show. Keeps my attention from beginning to the end of each episode. Christopher Meloni is fantastic. Need to renew. Am telling all my relatives and friends about this show.
I truly enjoyed Happy. Made me LOL and enjoyed the story line as well. It was so cute and I went to bed with a smile on my face, HAPPY
Funniest, nastiest, most engrossing show I’ve seen in ages. Can’t take my eyes off the Happy character. Can you believe they broadcast the closing scene in Jan. 10 episode???
WOW!! love the show.
FUNNY!!!!! LOVE the show. 76 year old lady here. Show is a Keeper. Can’t wait for the next episode.
Season 2 would be interesting too.. New story.. detective partnership… New case every few episodes.. quick turn around
At least show us the finale … I want to know what happens.. good story and fantastic acting by Meloni
Awesome, love it
My wife and I were turned on to this show by her son. We totally love it and can’t wait for the next episode….Cancel it?, no way. If the writers can keep it up, this show could go on for years. There should be more than 5-6 episodes per season tho.
I’ve liked the show, but it is pretty disgusting and dark! Save the children already and end the series. There is not much more to talk about (for all of its convoluted and depressing twists and turns, I find no real depth to the show or its characters).
