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.

Ben Pobjie Sydney Morning Herald 05/13/2020
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. Go to Full Review Troy Patterson Slate 09/17/2018
Happy Endings buzzes with some of that improv energy all the time. Go to Full Review Willa Paskin Salon.com 09/17/2018
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. Go to Full Review Alex Diedrick Uproxx 11/11/2021
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. Go to Full Review Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred 03/08/2020
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. Go to Full Review Michael Arbeiter Hollywood.com 09/17/2018
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jane P @SH_94 04/17/2023 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. See more Michael F @RT19140598 01/29/2023 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. See more 06/04/2015 Such a great show. Should have had more than 3 seasons.... See more 05/22/2015 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. See more 04/01/2014 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. See more 01/14/2014 I am still sad for the fact that Happy Endings has ended. No happy endings, indeed. But, hold on your horses. You can still watch the golden three seasons of it. I personally like the first and second seasons better, and if I am being honest, I am not at all shocked why the network decided to axe this show. I mean, I really enjoyed the season 3, but the quality of the story has went down, and the once weird TV show become absurd by episodes. Oh, and the last disappointing thing from David Caspe is there are no character development. I can't complain though. For what is worth, Happy Endings is one funny TV show on a par with great sitcoms like FRIENDS or even Frasier! Go and watch it. See more Read all reviews
