Happy! is an American live-action/adult animated black comedy/action-drama television series based on the four-issue comic book series of the same name created by writer Grant Morrison and artist Darick Robertson, with Brian Taylor serving as director for a majority of the episodes (seven of the first eleven).

The series premiered on Syfy on December 6, 2017, receiving mostly positive reviews. On January 29, 2018, it was announced that Syfy had renewed the series for a second season, which premiered on March 27, 2019. On June 4, 2019, the series was cancelled by Syfy after two seasons.

Premise

Disgraced police detective Nick Sax lives as a social outcast, filling his days with heavy drinking and substance abuse, moonlighting as a hitman to feed his various habits. After having a massive cardiac arrest, Nick comes into contact with a small, blue, winged (animated) unicorn named Happy that apparently only he can see. Happy explains he is the imaginary friend of a little girl named Hailey, who has been kidnapped by a deranged man dressed as Santa Claus ("Very Bad Santa"). Happy reveals that Hailey is Nick's estranged daughter and sought Nick's aid, believing him to be the hero cop that Hailey envisioned him to be. Though skeptical at first, Nick reluctantly agrees and the two work to save Hailey. The events of their search slowly begin to reveal the existence of a massive, global conspiracy involving child trafficking, sex cults, aliens, ancient gods, and the apocalypse.

While Nick and Merry break Dayglo Doug out of a retirement home of elderly nazis, Smoothie approaches Hailey and apologizes for what he did in the past, beginning to form a bond with her and manipulating her by pointing out the failures of her parents, as Amanda got fired and is in an extramarital relationship with a man named Simon and they have sex in a bathroom stall. In the meantime Orcus progressively takes more control over Blue's body and uses his demonic powers to violently get the prisoners to side with him. Merry shows her research on Sonny to Doug, explaining how she has collected the strange slime that poured out of one of the "Wishees" (the Teletubbies-inspired mascots in Sonny's show) she shot, claiming it acted alive and that she put it in her fridge inside a jar. Nick mistakingly eats the slime believing it to be jelly, and after ejecting and struggling with the sentient ooze in the bathroom, is sent into a frenzy and runs outside the house.

Nick is severely intoxicated from eating the Wishee's blood and has self-reflective hallucinations, forgetting about Hailey's birthday. Amanda generally neglects Hailey, including forgetting her birthday, and develops a strange addiction for spray whipped cream, which she later links to the orgy Sonny subjected her to with the Wishees. Happy goes to the Catholic school and witnesses Hailey getting a spoiled (and possibly made with feces) Christmas-style fruitcake for her birthday, which triggers her PTSD. Happy decides to go away with Little Bo Peep, a female imaginary friend. In prison, Blue asks his cellmate to kill him to stop Orcus. Merry and Doug make their way inside Sonny's headquarters, Shine Tower, which Merry infiltrates, disguised as a Wishee, while Doug is killed by Sonny when Doug confronts Sonny for ruining his career. Sonny takes back Doug's tape and places it in a secret room filled with other blackmail tapes, but Merry manages to steal the one featuring Kap Gostynski, the head of the television network that airs Sonny's shows. Hailey returns to the park where she was kidnapped and meets Smoothie again, who befriends her further by unexpectedly wishing her a happy birthday, when in reality, he had earlier switched the legitimate birthday cake that Hailey's classmates had gotten for her with the spoiled fruitcake.
146"Pervapalooza"Marianna PalkaPatrick Macmanus & Ashley Michel HobanMay 1, 2019 (2019-05-01)0.29[25]
Merry and Nick discover that the Wishees are headless fleshy creatures while Amanda, who came to Shine Tower to confront Sonny, is captured and learns that she is pregnant, though she does not know whether the father is Nick, Simon (both of whom she recently had sex with), or a Wishee from Sonny's orgy. Believing the father to be a Wishee, Sonny releases Amanda after giving her a vial of white substance to swallow. Nick takes Hailey to his mother to keep her safe, but Hailey escapes after putting her to sleep with a drugged cocktail and spends time with Smoothie. Meanwhile, Happy has sex with Bo Peep and loses his virginity. Nick disguises himself to enter Mr. Bug's costumed orgy and shoot him dead, only to bump into Amanda there, under the effect of the substance Sonny gave her.

157"Arlo and Marie"Wayne YipNoelle ValdiviaMay 8, 2019 (2019-05-08)0.27[26]
At Mr. Bug's orgy, Amanda discloses to Nick that she's pregnant, and does not know who the father is. Nick escapes the party by holding Amanda at gunpoint, and takes her home, where he encounters Happy, the morning after his romantic night with Bo Peep, who has dashed his hopes for an on-going relationship. Nick extracts himself from the costume he wore to the orgy, and Amanda attempts to seduce him, and then Hailey arrives, having left her Grandma's after she fell asleep. Amanda immediately tells Hailey that she will soon be a sister, and Amanda paints a rosy picture of the family life she wishes to create. Meanwhile, Merry visits Assunta in prison and learns that the Wishees are "Lemures", creatures from the underworld that do Orcus' bidding and throughout history have helped many renowned "idols" to rise to fame and power, including Cleopatra, Abraham Lincoln, JFK, Princess Diana, John Lennon, and Gandhi, among others, only for Orcus to kill them at the peak of their success, to feed off the grief of the generation of people that loved them. Sonny Shine is the next idol to be murdered, in front of millions of fans on television on Easter. Merry is relieved that Blue/Orcus is locked up in a high security prison, but Assunta forebodingly tells her that that is incorrect. Indeed, Orcus is not in prison, but is introducing himself to Sonny on a visit to his mansion, having survived the fall at the prison, while Blue did not. Orcus sends the prisoners he brainwashed and brought with him from the prison to retrieve Amanda. Hailey overhears Nick tell Amanda that Sonny had kidnapped her at Christmas; fed up with her parents, she runs off to see Smoothie, who was healed by the Lemures after Merry shot him, and now serves Orcus. Happy tells Nick about seeing Hailey with Smoothie, prompting Nick, having survived the prisoner attack, to gear up and go after him.

Meanwhile, Smoothie takes Hailey over to his adoptive Hispanic mother, and during a stop at a gas station, Hailey overhears two truckers talking about a child who cut and put his own genitals in a jar for a science fair thirty years before, hinting it to be Smoothie, who seemingly reveals a troubled childhood with his abusive father and has Hailey witness him killing him (a flashback revealing the man to be a stranger) in order to endorse vengeful murder and have her ready to kill Sonny for what he did to her.

Nick sacrifices himself by taking the bullet Hailey fires to kill Sonny, but Amanda shoots him dead. Sonny's death also kills every imaginary friend due to the kids' sadness. Merry takes custody of Hailey following Amanda's arrest, while in the afterlife Nick accepts Orcus' offer to return from the dead and exact his revenge on Smoothie, though on the condition of Nick now being bound to his service. Happy is saddened by these events and Bo Peep cheating on him with his friend Twigs and a chompy teeth with eyes, and wanders New York, oblivious to everyone now being able to see him, but angrily flying into the sky above the clouds, ends up meeting God, the imaginary friend "of an entire civilization", who sympathizes with Happy and encourages him to take action, in addition revealing Nick to be alive. Six months later, around Halloween season, Smoothie is confronted by a resurrected Nick, who twists his neck and decapitates him with his bare hands and places his head among carved pumpkins on the porch as he leaves.
