There are so many dark and depressing movies and series out there. Yet as dark and depressing as Happy! Is (and whoa is it ever a grind of nasty proportions), Happy! Is one of the most funny and wickedly entertaining series I've ever seen!
The biggest tragedy is that it wasn't extended more seasons. This will go down, I suspect, in the cult classics equivalent to Firefly. Watch it and tell me I'm wrong.
There are absolutely no limitations with the script and writing and the mix of characters - human, imaginary, not human, and totally unknown - create a canvas of insanity and hilarity the likes of which you've never seen! Nothing is held back or sacred. And somehow, even though Meloni is a huge POS, you totally end up loving the man - a feat rarely accomplished in modern anti-hero stories.
Additionally: The soundtrack is insanely good and matches the mood expertly. The acting is off the charts - each character seems not so much written but pulled from the primordial ooze of Calliope's tortured insides and splattered across the screen. And the story itself through 3 seasons is nothing if not endorphin-firing brain candy.
I rarely give anything a 10 and this absolutely deserves it and much more attention - and another 10 seasons.
