But when Alex leaves Dave at the altar, the gang must figure out how to deal with the fallout and split their time. Luckily, Alex and Dave realize what they all have together is worth saving.

Kristy Puchko CinemaBlend Basically, the writing of the series is incredible, reveling in a wacky sensibility that embraces both snarky barbs and slapstick, yet avoids the treacle trap even when its character's reach their arc epiphany. Rated: 4/5 Sep 15, 2018 Full Review David Sims AV Club It's a refreshingly simple show that only works because its actors have such good chemistry together. Rated: B+ Sep 15, 2018 Full Review Troy Patterson Slate In fact Happy Endings displays an invigorating antipathy to the Central Perkiness of young urban laughfests. Sep 28, 2011 Full Review Dani Bradford TV Equals If the premiere episode offers any clue, then I think Happy Endings will be fine. A weekly dose of Elisha Cuthbert certainly doesn't hurt either. Sep 17, 2018 Full Review Jessica Johnson Time Out Chicago Happy Endings has a lot of charm, winning characters and some good laughs and it's worth picking up if you missed the show's introduction last spring. Jul 2, 2018 Full Review Matt Roush TV Guide I'm still left mostly cold by Happy Endings. Sep 28, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Jane P It's a crime this show was cancelled. Hilarious, original characters and storylines, new spin on the whole group of friends hanging out sitcom, good representation. Honestly 100% worth watching. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/17/23 Full Review michael f Season 2 picks up right where Season 1 left us. The show continues to entertain, however, even with the longer season, you really do not get much in the way of character development. As such, there begins to be a few stale moments. It still passes the time and kept me on board long enough to give Season 3 a shot. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review craig f Still fun and funny, but the writing is starting to wane a bit.
