The Review: Happy Season 2 Episodes 1/2



Episode 1 “The War on Easter”

Season two of Happy! wasted no time going crazy. I loved the first season and was afraid that this one wouldn't be as good. So far two episodes in I am digging it. This begins with a bunch of nuns with bombs strapped to their chests and crying. They seem upset, as they should be, but ready to die together. That is until one of them books it and starts trashing the city. The other nuns all break into sprints doing the same. The nun that started the running gets tackled by another who tells her to stop. She gets her ass kicked for being nice and the running nun finds a glowing Easter egg in the trash. She presses the stop button and all their bombs go off except for hers. She is interrogated later and says that a evil bunny told them that the detonator would only kill the person closest to it. The bunny lied.


Nick Sax is trying to stay sober...kinda. Happy wakes his ass up at noon all cheerful. Nick ends up spraying mint spray into his mouth that has alcohol in it so he isn't 100% sober really. He goes to meet his daughter at school and finds out that she has become a shit starter and should go to a new school that costs an ass load of money. Nick meets up with his ex wife Amanda and she is still suffering form PTSD after last season and being held captive by Sonny Shines and that insane fucking rave/sex/murder party he threw.


Speaking of Sonny, his insane ass meets up with the Pope and tries to get Easter changed and re-branded as in “Make Easter Great Again.” I legit forgot how scary that dude was until he popped up on screen. And creepy as shit too. That dude Blue (I really wish I had covered the first season episode by episode like this one) is still in prison and being possessed after he had a spirit whispered into his body. This nun, Assunta (Isabella's aunt), is there with his sister Isabella and just when the spirit is about to get into her through a whisper Assunta stops her and explains that she knows what it is and how it has been in the family hopping from body to body for generations. She stabs Isabella in the ear and all about the face killing her and damning the demon to Blue's body in prison.


This dude tries following this young girl into a storage closet to bone down and ends up captured by the leather clad bunny. Nick's old partner/woman he cheated on his wife with Merry is a realtor now and finds Nick sleeping in one of the houses she is showing. He wants to use the place for when he has custody of Hailey. Nick is no longer hired muscle and drives a cab to make money. It is not his cab as you could see by the license. Not sure how he came into possession of this. Probably murder. One night he picks this dude up who has a girl running from him. He tells Nick that he needs a woman for a party so Nick calls a lady and they show up to a hanger. She gets put into a damn hospital gown and asked medical questions. Turns out they are harvesting humans for some reason. Oh. It is for some old dude. Cool. Nick ends up accidentally killing a couple guys before doing it on purpose. And I'll be damned if the dude in the leather bunny outfit ain't Smoothie from last season who is a eunuch that worked for Blue!


Episode 2 “Tallahassee”

This episode begins with Nick having a nightmare about ripping a man apart as his daughter watches and it becomes a life sized game of Operation. He is woken by his ex wife showing up saying it is his turn to take care of their daughter. She says she is hungry and opens the fridge and it is full of human organs. In prison Blue who lost his chance to escape when his sister was murdered is trying to get out of there and suggests that he take a plea deal and go to Wyoming. He previously had some crazy dream about riding a horse last episode. His lawyer works for Sonny so that ain't happening. Also Smoothie has that dude he captured dangling from the ceiling in leather chaps with all his skin removed. But what bugs Smoothie is that fact that the guys breath smells and gives him a breath mint and reminds him he will die soon. A lot happens on this show quickly.


Nick has to ask Happy what Hailey is into since he can't just drive her in a cab all day. Happy says she likes horses so they go to the races. He has her bet with imaginary money until it turns out she is really good at this...until she isn't. She isn't having fun as her father is losing his shit and acting like a lunatic about winning even when she is ready to go. She even lies to her mom about where they are. Its a bad thing but Nick looks at it like “Aww...”


Hailey runs out of the place and into the son of the dude that was supposed to get that transplant previously. The guy lets Nick know that they found another match as a donor and wants him to handle it. Hailey thinks he should help not knowing what the dude is really asking for. Human body parts. By the way, Nick has to do this stuff to get money to pay for the expensive ass school his bad ass daughter needs to go to. Nick gets the address and tells Hailey to wait in the car. Of course she comes in immediately saying she is hungry. They all sit to eat and Nick finds out this dude is the son of the guy that needs a kidney transplant and the dude is like “Nah.” Nick calls the guy and he low key threatens Nick's daughter. Nick goes to the guys spot and kills everyone there. Hailey knows he did but he lies to her.


Merry catches up with Blue's lawyer and beats him for information. Sonny is blackmailing folks. Amanda is losing her shit and has a wine fest with Amanda. She ends up meeting this guy who she brings home and Nick beats his ass until he realizes the guy is not a threat and that his ex is now fucking the guy. Sonny has Blue beaten in prison. I am not even sure this guy can die with that spirit in him at this point. This show is insane and wasting no time. It is a lot of information but still good.
