HAPPY! is based on New York Times best-selling author Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson’s graphic novel of the same name. The series follows Nick Sax (Christopher Meloni, Law & Order: SVU) – an intoxicated, corrupt ex-cop turned hit man – who is adrift in a world of casual murder, soulless sex and betrayal. After a hit gone wrong, his inebriated life is forever changed by a tiny, relentlessly positive, imaginary blue winged horse named Happy (Patton Oswalt). (Syfy TV)

Happy! is a grandiose symbiosis of the styles of Grant Morrison and Brian Taylor. Taylor’s hypertrophied stylistic excess and pop-cultural meta-genre focus is exactly what Morrison’s comic-book canapé needed not only to rise above its would-be gritty mediocrity, but also to fully reach its potential. From the original fragment of an idea, the series becomes a surprisingly multi-layered spectacle in which Taylor’s cheeky boisterousness meets a deeply felt narrative about both the power and harmfulness of fantasy, the traumas of childhood and cynicism, as well as the hopes associated with Christmas.
