Review of Happy!

Happy! (2017–2019)
2/10
Really WAS on the fence with this
1 February 2018
Season 1: First four episodes I LOVED. TOTally new twist. Never saw anything like it. Meloni's a genius . . . yada yada. They actually pulled off the Blue Unicorn thing . . . amAZing.

Then . . . it slowed W a a a a a a y down. Got very draggy.

Then it got vomitously disgusting with food preparations . . . e e e e w w w . . . ick.

It stayed slow and that's my main problem. PLEASE find some better writers or MORE writers. This show could be SO GOOD! But it did a lot of stretching to fill vacuums. I'll come back and take a peek st Season 2 . . . fingers crossed . . .

Okay. So, ABOUT Season 2 . . .

It DID pick up and became more . . . orderly. The acting is all good. STILL love the concept . . . but . . . it was just boring. Watching it was a chore. Do I HAVE to . . . ? Nope, I don't.

I kinda hate to desert it. It was such a cool find. But the fact is, I just don't care.

Great sets, great costumes,still over the top, Meloni's fab. In theory it SHOULD work. But some core tension that makes me come back to see 'what's next' is missing. I even still LOVE the unicorn.

But, sigh.

It's bye.
