Happy Together Season 1 Premiere: 4 Ups & 1 Down From 'Pilot'
The Harry Styles-inspired sitcom is a sweet creature.
Contains spoilers from the Happy Together series premiere.
A new fall schedule usually brings with it a plethora of new comedies, and Happy Together is the latest. Following the same basic principle as every other sitcom, the new CBS series offers something new to the recycled concept. But does it pay off? In a word: yes.
A young couple in their thirties - Jake and Claire - are going through what can only be described as a mundane patch in their relationship. That is, however, until pop star Cooper James arrives on their doorstep and asks if he can stay with them for a while.
Executive produced by Ben Winston, Happy Together is loosely based on Winston's own experience of having former One Direction member Harry Styles stay in his attic. Styles himself also serves as an executive producer on the show, which isn't that odd considering the talented musician has been branching out as of late, after delivering a critically acclaimed performance in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk.
While much of the pilot episode focuses on table-setting, Happy Together gets off to an incredibly strong start.
