User Reviews

*Happy Face* is a smart and engaging true crime drama that shifts the genre’s focus, offering a unique perspective on the aftermath of crime rather than the crimes themselves. Annaleigh Ashford delivers a powerful, nuanced performance, showing incredible depth in her role. She’s matched by a strong turn from Quaid, whose portrayal is equally compelling. The show’s approach feels fresh and intelligent, offering both emotional and psychological complexity. It’s a thrilling watch, with plenty of twists and depth.

It's too comical. I think they may have been going for creepy, what with the serial killer element, but Quaid comes off goofy, and Ashford sounds like she's in a sitcom. "Meet my dad. He's crazy." I kept waiting for a laugh track. It takes away any weight or nuance at all.
