What is HAPPY! about?

HAPPY! is a unique American live-action television program blended with adult animated black comedy, premiering on Syfy. The series is based on the four-issue comic book series of the same name written by acclaimed author Grant Morrison and illustrated by Darick Robertson. The plot follows a hardened, down-on-his-luck ex-cop turned hitman named Nick Sax, who lives in a world filled with continuous drinking, casual murder, sex devoid of emotions, and rampant betrayal. His life takes a bizarre turn when he finds himself perpetually haunted by the persistent existence of a small, excessively cheerful, blue-winged unicorn named Happy. Happy claims he is the imaginary friend of a child who is in dire trouble, compelling Sax to save the day. This strange pair navigates the seedy underbelly of the city, meeting crime bosses, hitmen, even Santa Claus, and gradually uncovering a huge criminal conspiracy. This dark, eccentric series delicately balances elements of extreme violence with deep humor, making it a unique addition to the realm of television.

The first episode of HAPPY! aired on December 06, 2017 and the most recent episode to air was on May 29, 2019.
