10 TV Shows People Need To Stop Sleeping On
7. Happy! (SyFy)
You ever have a day so terrible that it ends in seeing a tiny flying blue unicorn, who informs you that not only do you have a daughter but that she has been kidnapped by a creepy Santa?
Nick Sax (Christopher Meloni) is a has-been cop, and to say he's been down on his luck the last ten years would be an understatement. He's wanted by the Italian Mob, his marriage is in shambles, his work partner has been paid off, and his daughter has been kidnapped. With the help of Happy (voiced by Patton Oswald), his daughter's real imaginary friend, they will find Hailey and hunt down those responsible.
The show seamlessly blends its dark subject matter with witty dialogue. Fans of dark comedy will be delighted in the way the show leaves you equally parts mortified and amused. Christopher Meloni is given the chance to flex his acting muscles in this project. He delivers an impressive and gut-wrenching performance that, at times, put him in the realms of De Niro. Overall, Happy! is a twisty roller coaster ride that delivers on all fronts.
