The show's an enjoyable diversion.
70
A cut above "Harper's Island," which started off amusingly, but ended badly, "Happy Town" boasts some serious mojo in Sam Neill.

While it's nowhere close to brilliant, Happy Town's unpredictability makes it watchable--at least for now.
60
The episodes are certainly watchable, but as constructed by writer-producers Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec and Scott Rosenberg, the train also takes its time getting out of the station.
40
Great TV always flows from the specificity of a show's characters; "Happy Town" traffics in banal generalities.
30
The show is so overstuffed and dancing so fast in its effort to achieve cultdom that it forgets some basic things, like making us care about the characters in the middle of this whole mess or drawing some clear stakes for what happens.

My goose bumps fell asleep waiting to be roused.

This show was terrific, I loved it. They did a great job at keeping you interested in it. I can't believe it was cancelled so soon.
