For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

"Happy!" is a gloriously demented comic book adaptation from the mind of industry legend Grant Morrison. It's about disgraced New York Cop, Nick Sax (gainfully portrayed by Christopher Meloni who appears to be enjoying himself even more than when he was in "True Blood") who is pulled into the investigation of his estranged daughters kidnapping when Happy, a flying blue Unicorn and his daughters imaginary best friend, hunts him down. Whilst it's definitely not a show for everyone, the levels of profanity, sexual content and especially violence are very high, I ended up really enjoying the series. Admittedly, I was a little shaky after the first couple as to whether I'd continue with it. . . Happy is a pretty annoying character and Nick and his world takes a little getting used to. Had it been more than a limited series of 8 episodes I don't think we'd have persevered, but I'm glad we did as it does settle down after those initial ones. The plot stands start to come together and you get used to the tone, although it does still find ways to surprise and disgust you as it continues. As I mentioned above, it does look like Christopher Meloni is having a lot of fun with a showy role, but he's fearless with it. He blunders around like a drunken John McLaine, dispatching villains with his hitman skills and a large piece of Deadpool-esque lucky bravado. The only person who might be having more fun is Patrick Fischler as Smoothie, a combination of manic obsessive compulsion and vague sexual threats who is a key figure for mob boss Scaramucci, played by Ritchie Coster, who too looks like he's enjoying himself, although his character is a little more familiar than some of the others. Whilst never quite matching the levels of interaction of something like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" the character of Happy is well animated as are the other CGI characters that appear towards the end of the series. Patton Oswald fills out the character well once the earnestness of the first couple of episodes erodes away. . Although I still think he's probably the least engaging part of the show. Funny, surprising and entertaining, "Happy!" season one was a shotgun blast. Roll on Season two.

At first I was a bit hesitant to the concept. But in a moment of "I've got nothing to see" I gave it a shot. After about 10 min I was hooked, I watched it all in 2 days. Loved it. It's like a mixture of die hard/space jam/home alone, a truly well spent 2 days!

"You ever seen Sin City?" - Alan (The Hangover)I have and I've gotta say If Dorothy's farm house got blown away in the dark and dreary Sin City. She would awake in the Ultra violent, colourful and crazy that is Happy!Happy Being the Imaginary friend of a young, gentile and innocent young girl (Hayley). Must now do his best to win over and befriend a sceptical, ruthless, washed-up, borderline psychotic ex detective with the hope he can pull himself together and overcome his own demonds Long enough to save the day.

This show is funny, weird and amazing! I recommend 100%
