One of the most clever, bold, brilliant, modern, unique, smart, excellent TV series I've ever seen. A new concept combining drama (without easy emotional excitement), dark comedy, high quality humor, twists, a radical script and an excellent direction. The type and use of music is marvelous. The basic actors are brilliant, and must admire Steve Coogan (known to many as Alan Partridge) for accepting such a role to enhance his comical talent to another level. If you could remove the American accent and put British instead, you could be have the impression that this is maybe a British series. Apart from the fact that all issues and plot themes are mainly American. If you have doubts that all around us is perfect, if you believe that maybe we don't live in a perfect world, if you are tired of all clichés and hypocrisy, and finally if you like real art TV, then you must watch it. No doubt why the series is cancelled in America. It's too perfect,provocative and keen.

It is "different" and does not belong to mainstream and regular type of shows that one may watch. It is not a kind of show that is talked about around water coolers and it is not to everybody's taste. It is not a kind of show that one watches for sheer purpose of entertainment. Not a kind of show that soothes you, either. It is more like a mirror that reflects how we could get lost in banality of life. It is thought provoking, witty, and intelligent. It is truthful, wry, honest, and cerebral. One of the best shows (sadly underrated and overlooked) in the so called "golden age of television", that tries to touch the vexed question of "happiness" in modern world and address the "tragic sense of life" in a roundabout way and blended with humor. To "Showtime" credit, for picking up and making this great show. Bravo Guys!

Probably the best shows I've watched in the last few years. An excellent dark satirical comedy-drama where the main characters are experiencing different issues, all very relatable, as far as I am concerned ! This is a show where a clever mix or imaginary worlds collide with the reality of life, and where technology, corporate America and the idealist views, highlight the terrible state in which most of us actually live….in a society dominated by superficiality, greed and ignorance. If some of the personal challenges , Thom and Lee face, might not be relevant to everyone, the work/office ones are definitely easy to appreciate! If you're Happy and You Know It - watch Happyish and you might start asking yourself a few questions

worst liberal self hating selfish ,me,me,me,me bull crap. everything wrong with America all wrapped up into one show. please let it end. horrible mother in the show. the character of the mom is hopefully just a character and not the actress view of what being a mother is. why is it that liberals hate anything that grounds people? not every one is a creative person that doesn't need the direction you get from god and country. please let people be them selves and stop hating everything that other people do. did i mention this show is is horrible?i am a artist not a writer and i rarely like to comment on bad things but i just saw the last show and i had to say something excuse any typos.
