Happily married Jake and Claire don't seem to have many complaints, and they seem to get more enjoyment out of Saturday nights spent binge-watching TV shows than they would partying until dawn at the hottest clubs. That all changes when a client of Jake's accounting firm -- who is also one of the world's most well-known pop stars -- decides to hide out at their house for a few days. Once he moves in, Cooper helps the couple reconnect with their younger, cooler selves, leading everyone to believe this unconventional living arrangement might just be the best thing to happen to all three of them.

2.5/4
Packed with sight gags, bad puns and lame punchlines. Some of them work, some don't, but mostly the cast sticks the landings. The series feels most natural when it focuses on the interplay between the three leads and doesn't force jokes. Go to Full Review Trey Mangum Shadow and Act 10/02/2018
After years of providing crucial, key supporting roles on multiple comedies, in their first true lead roles on television, Wayans and Stevens West make comedy magic on-screen. Go to Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire 10/02/2018

Happy Together may not become an iconic sitcom, but it's already a pretty good source for happiness. Go to Full Review Malcolm Hopwood The Post NZ 05/10/2019
Happy Together is probably a hit in America, but it doesn't travel well. It should go down with the ship somewhere off the coast of Hawaii. Go to Full Review Brett White Decider 12/26/2018
Just watch the way Wayans commands Happy Together's live audience. Multi-cam's trademark wide shots capture every one of his hilariously articulated moves, making him a modern day Dick Van Dyke... Go to Full Review Christopher James AwardsCircuit.com 10/30/2018
2/4
Happy Together abides by all of the typical tropes one expects from these types of shows. This includes the groans that accompany almost all the punchlines. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

See more bryon p @bryonpropst 10/22/2018 When I first read about this show I thought it sounded stupid and wouldn't last a day. Then I watched it. It's not deep (nor is intended to me I assume) but it VERY enjoyable. I've always liked "Baby Wayans", but The chemistry between all of actors is excellent.. I'm not sure how far they can extend the premise, but teh writers seem clever so maybe it has legs. In the meantime I look forward to the light-hearted and enjoyable show. See more Read all reviews
