HAPPY!
Created by Darick Robertson, Grant Morrison
On Syfy
A surreal, high-energy dark comedy that pairs brutal crime-world violence with whimsical magical realism, anchored by the redemptive relationship between a corrupt ex-cop and his imaginary optimistic companion.
Corrupt ex-cop turned hitman Nick Sax's life is changed forever by a relentlessly positive, imaginary blue winged horse named Happy.
