For years, perfect couple Dave and Alex were the core of their group of friends, holding them all together. 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. The exes decide that, just because their relationship has changed, it doesn't mean they need to lose each other completely, and as they all adjust to their new reality, they have their friends there to help get them through.

Thoroughly silly yet consistently funny, Happy Endings shows how the right cast and a little improv energy can enliven a series constructed from classic sitcom parts.

Ben Pobjie Sydney Morning Herald Its unevenness is its downfall, and if the writing and performances gain confidence over the three seasons, it never quite shakes off the habit, when unsure of what direction to jump, of resorting to the laziest possible option. May 13, 2020 Full Review Troy Patterson Slate Happy Endings buzzes with some of that improv energy all the time. Sep 17, 2018 Full Review Willa Paskin Salon.com This gang would make for supremely exhausting friends in real life, but that's what makes them such great friends to have at the remove of your TV. Sep 17, 2018 Full Review Alex Diedrick Uproxx A comedy about a group of friends doing the whole "adulting" thing while living in Chicago doesn't sound too revolutionary, but it's the performances that make this show as fantastic as it is. Nov 11, 2021 Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred More than parody, though, The Real World segments serve as an origin story for some of the characters' relationships, so it worked well and made for a funny episode. Mar 8, 2020 Full Review Michael Arbeiter Hollywood.com The greatest joy derived from Happy Endings is that at the end of the day, it's a good old fashioned sitcom that knows it's a good old fashioned sitcom.

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 I really enjoyed season one and season two of Happy Endings. I was excited for season three hoping there would be more growth and change. Instead, it was more of the same and occasionally just wilder. While still better than some comedies out there, I think my rating also reflects missed potential. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Still hurts that ABC jacked this up. I guess they needed more room for Gray's Anatomy! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Such a great show. Should have had more than 3 seasons.... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I think this is the best TV in history - incredibly smart and funny with an incredibly talented cast. Impossible to get everything just watching an episode once - it's a phenomenal show. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member RIP, you magnificent bastard. I could easily say this is my favorite sitcom of all time. Though season 1 was a little rocky, seasons 2 and 3 are well oiled machines, firing on all cylinders. In other words, this show is a-mahzing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
