That quest for the extreme can sometimes feel like a distraction from the attempts at real emotional storytelling, but when it all comes together, it’s a whole lot of fun.

At best, Happy! is flying toward something bigger than what it finds in these first two episodes; a point or a connection or an original conceit beyond the entertainingly over-the-top nature of its core story. At worst, it’s just throwing a bunch of blood at the wall and hoping the shock is what sticks. Either way, it will be fun to see how crazy the Syfy series can get before it blows its top.

This show is amazing! I was shocked to see it on syfy, it seems more like a premium channel type of show. It is wild. The ride can be a bit disturbing, and intentionally so. It also can be a LOT of fun. The direction on this show is amazing. This show is NOT for the faint of heart. If you love action, and general debauchary, all mixed with a dark fantasy element. I heard it's canceled and I hope they get renewed somewhere.

When all of its parts are working in unison, Happy! is a stylish mix of violence and unhinged humor, which, while not exactly a fresh concept, still manages to be engrossing.

As a comedy or even an action series, Happy! is far from perfect. But if you’re up for venturing down a dark path where the only one seemingly capable of the titular emotion is someone’s imaginary friend, it still might make you smile.

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.

At one extreme, you want Santa dead. At the other, it can get to be ho ho hum in a hurry.

Happy! has a cartoonish sensibility more suited to drawings than live action. The more it strains to be edgy and shocking, the more laughable it becomes.

Happy! is a story for people with a serious sense of humour, a twisted mindset and the clear appreciation of the weirdest yet most unique story. It is clearly not for everyone given the graphic nature of the scenario.
