Mat G Hilarious,violent and fantastic Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/04/23 Full Review Gareth v Extreme, weird, and just crude at times, Happy! is something different from the rest of comic/crime adaptions for TV. It will be interesting to see how far this can go before running out of steam. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review Toms c Brilliant, fun, different. I really enjoyed this. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/10/23 Full Review Joe D If you expect anything with a plot or something that makes sense you've come to the wrong place. After a while, you get tired of pressing the FF button and wonder when this mess is going to end. Of course, after wasting all that time watching it you realize the ending is going to be no big surprise and it isn't.The acting though is good and brings this thing to 2 stars and not zero stars. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/23/23 Full Review Hakan C Macht noch mehrere Staffel die serie genau mein Geschmack..krass witzig Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/04/23 Full Review Theresa I Omg! Happy! is so off the wall that I hit the wall and came back for more. Chris Meloni is amazing as the lead, well shared lead along with Patton Oswalt(who seems to be acting in everything). Whimsy and grim dark violence blend really well (even though I had to turn away because I'm aim Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/18/22 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

Critics Reviews

Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald You might even find that it jerks a tear or two out of you when you least expect it. Absolutely marvelous. May 25, 2018 Full Review Matt Zoller Seitz New York Magazine/Vulture If you're able to view Happy! mainly as an exercise in style and attitude, with a brilliant lead performance, you'll find a lot to admire here. Dec 7, 2017 Full Review Emily St. James Vox The interplay between Meloni and Oswalt is surprisingly delightful for a relationship created entirely in post-production, and the show is careful to never overplay the Happy card. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 7, 2017 Full Review Nathan Mattise Ars Technica If you enjoy the absurd and extreme edge of comics, SyFy's Happy may be for you. Jul 28, 2021 Full Review Tori Preston Pajiba This is a gross, weird, frenetic show filled with horrible people and terrible deeds, but it's also one of the most inventively shot and acted things I've seen on TV. Mar 29, 2019 Full Review Melody McCune Geek Girl Authority Meloni is absolute perfection in this role, and this could stand to be his best yet. Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
