Happy Together Season 1 Premiere: 4 Ups & 1 Down From 'Pilot'

Downs...

1. Not Enough Focus On Cooper

Happy Together Sierra Cooper
CBS

Considering this story was inspired by the Harry Styles, the Cooper character isn't featured as heavily in the first episode as you might think. Sure, his arrival at Jake and Claire's home is the inciting incident, and his presence in their house is what drives the story along, but it's not really his story just yet.

Jake and Claire appear to be the two central protagonists, which is no bad thing, as both characters are wonderful, but Cooper is the key element that sets this sitcom apart from all of the others out there, and thus it would be nice to see the character featured a bit more going forward. What's more, Felix Mallard is a delight to watch.
