IndieWireBen TraversApr 24, 2015
Season 1 Review: As rare as its humor can be, it bites with every appearance. Moreover, it's a show that challenges its viewer every step of the way and isn't afraid to make big, bold declarative statements. Read full review

Boston GlobeMatthew GilbertApr 23, 2015
Season 1 Review: The script is by novelist and essayist Shalom Auslander, who created the show, and it is remarkably tight, thought-provoking, literary, and jeweled with absurdist wit. Read full review

The WrapJordan BurchetteApr 23, 2015
Season 1 Review: Happish is impressive as it convincingly drives themes of selling, selling out, anger, whoredom, mortality and the true meaning of happiness--and whether it’s even attainable--drawing upon established talents such as Ellen Barkin, Carrie Preston, Molly Price and Andre Royo. They provide Coogan, Hahn and Whitford with great foils and sounding boards for both the mundane and serious matters addressed. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It's an intelligent, surreal, mildly outrageous--and most certainly outraged--satire of life in post-industrial America. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyMelissa MaerzApr 27, 2015
Season 1 Review: At its worst, Happyish feels like the mighty yawp of aging hipsters who are bitter for no good reason and weirdly out of touch with the way culture works. At its best, though, it’s like nothing else on TV. Read full review

Season 1 Review: At this point, there’s just too much good TV out there to bother with yet another just-OK show. Read full review
