    A series full of action and brutal comedy, but quite poor in writing that becomes repetitive, predictable and ridiculous. The music and special effects have nothing remarkable, you can watch it only for the brutality but it would still not be worth it.

    Changed my score after realizing that even though this is a flashy unconventional show, after having to shut off the last episode midway, it has no redeeming qualities whatsoever

    Happy! communicates such joy in filmmaking that the show seems graceful and airy even though the material is mostly leaden. 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.

    Happy! has those films’ [the Crank movies] wild, pell-mell sense of pace and jittery, overcaffeinated style. But the series’ scripts are smart about undercutting the wild mayhem and constant introduction of new ideas with a bittersweet holiday angst.

    Meloni’s performance and the strength of the source material will keep the show afloat for interested viewers. But based on the first two episodes, it’s an acquired, specific taste.
