HAPPY! is an adaptation of New York Time's best-selling graphic novel by Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson. The series follows Nick Sax (Christopher Meloni, Law & Order: SVU) – an intoxicated, corrupt ex-cop turned hit man – who's adrift in a world of casual murder, soulless sex and betrayal. After a hit gone wrong, his inebriated life is forever changed by a tiny, relentlessly positive, imaginary blue winged horse named Happy (Patton Oswalt).

Just finished this show and now suffering that "canceled show" hangover feeling (S2 spoilers)

I watched S1 years back but not S2, for some reason. I was at my bestie's for Thanksgiving, he scrolled thru Netflix, and we got to this show.

Watched two eps at his place, then I went home, got Netflix's 4k plan, and binged the rest of the series.

Now here I am. Having just finished it, stuck with that terrible "there won't be any more, and there's nothing else like this" type of feeling.

There was so much wacky insanity going on and nothing really made sense but the way the dramatic beats of this show hit that much harder.

Meloni deserves all the awards here, he masterfully carried this show with impressive ease. 7 years back I binged all of SVU up to that point, so it's all too easy to imagine that character becoming Nick. Idek if I could see him as the clean cut Stabler anymore. I just want more of him as Nick.

I loved Nick & Smoothie. They had such bizarre sexual chemistry and tension together. It was like "are they about to kiss until they bleed or stab each other? Or both?" the song Kiss with a Fist applies to them so well.

Even Happy had some depth added to him in ways I didn't expect. I certainly wasn't expecting the Bo Peep storyline, nor Jeff Goldblum showing up as God. That was fun. And the way his powers kept expanding. This being of pure innocence having magical orgy abilities. It so fit somehow.

I loved the weird casting of Big Show as Blue's cellmate. He could actually act. I couldn't tell if he'd assaulted Blue or if they were like bros. It was fun how they left it all vague.

I was sooo curious to see what would happen next during Halloween season. Honestly expected Nick to start carrying Smoothie's decapitated head around on his belt ala Lollipop Chainsaw. It wouldn't be the worst thing this show has done.

And Hailey's storyline... Going from innocent child & victim to ready to murder assassin. That was deep and the actress was actually, scarily, good in all her scenes. I loved her dancing with Smoothie. It was like her last bit of happiness before everything got extra fucked up.

Gah I'm rambling but I just have so many feelings over this show and nowhere for them to go.

Bruce Campbell is doing a Q&A at 2PM EST in honor of his new show on Peacock. As a reminder, he's good friends with Patton Oswalt, so if you want to ask him about getting his support for Happy! to be saved for season 3, now's your chance to do it!

Techno song playing when Sonny is jump roping?

There's a scene in Season 2, can't remember which episode. It's when Sonny is ont his compound jump roping and he has headphones on. It sounds like som sort of techno 'uplifting' workout, type of song. I currently do not have Netflix and have no way of Shazaming. Anybody have an idea?

Sooner or later, Peacock is going to announce Law & Order: Organized Crime S5 & when they do, I ask you PLEASE make your voices heard & let them know they need to save Happy! next; Chris Meloni's other (& WILD) masterpiece that Syfy should've NEVER cancelled. #SaveHappy!

Anyone know where to find the original music from the show?

Ever since about halfway through the first season, I thought the original music in Happy was awesome. I've wanted to find it so I could listen to it, but I have had no luck. I've tried looking again, even looking in the credits to find who made it, but looking up the composers (Blair Mowat and Guillaume Roussel) and looking through their music still gets me nowhere. Any help finding the original scores would be greatly appreciated!

Is the novel the same as the show ?

I finished the show and it left me wanting more I fell in love with is. Sax is such a likeable character but I wanted to ask does the novel show more of what happens after season 2 I’m aware as of right now there’s no announcement for season 3 hopefully maybe Netflix picks it up it’s so good

But does the novel show more beyond that of season 2 ?

Just finished this show

Good community here. What a great show that was. Surprised they didn’t renew this show, yet some of the other shows that I see receive a renewal don’t deserve one. One of the best shows I’ve seen in a while.

Season 3 taking place during Halloween season would have likely made it even better. A shame that this show was just discarded and forgotten about.

Anyone think there’s any possibility of this show returning?

I feel like we need to start saving this show again

Think about; L&O: Organized Crime and Residnet Alien MIGHT not be renewed, Chucky season 3 might be its last, this marks a GREAT opportunity for us to fight to save Happy! again and convince Universal to give it another chance for Syfy or even Peacock.

Opportunity is knocking people, are we to sit here, do nothing and accept things for what they are or we finally going to do something, make a difference, and finally #SaveHappy for season 3?

Remember; there's ALWAYS hope. I'm all in, are you?

Someone is theorizing that Law and Order: Organized Crime Season 4 might be Stabler's last. Meaning if Chris Meloni has more free time again, a 3rd season of Happy! might now be a possibility. Anyone want to make that possibility happen? Are you ready? ;)

Need recommendations to fill the void after rinsing the series twice. I am in the UK and only have Netflix and Prime so please only options for those!

8 million. That's how many times both seasons of Happy! altogether was viewed and Netflix/Universal should be listening.

I feel sometimes that Syfy/Universal sabotaged Happy! on purpose...

Think about it; a show that becomes a hit with audiences and critics...then suddenly is barely promoted for season 2, doesn't receive a US home video release, Netflix passes on it for no reason whatsoever given...like some higher up at Universal convinced or persuaded them not to save it.

It's like they feared the show was getting TOO CLOSE to the truth even though that was never the intention.

I feel like we need to discuss this and call Syfy/Universal out.
