An injured hitman befriends his kidnapped daughter’s imaginary friend – a perky blue flying unicorn.

With the excess of comic book related movie and television content it is soooo satisfying to know that there is content out there to be adapted into a show like this that has me eagerly awaiting its second season. The first episode of Happy! had me laughing out loud for the entire episode and given some of the action scenes it had me wondering that something might be just that little bit wrong with me. Happy is another example of the syfy channel struggles with the quality of the movies that they produce and yet is capable of producing some brilliant television series.
Personally, I am only familiar with Christopher Meloni from his time working on Law & Order and it is safe to say that his role of Elliot Stabler is the polar opposite of Nick Sax. A lot of positive things can be said about all of the actors that where involved with Happy, however Patton Oswalt who voiced perky blue flying unicorn Happy stole the series. Of particular note was the homage to Quentin Tarantino Reservoir Dogs’ stuck in the middle with you scene.
