This Chicago set sitcom follows the intertwined lives of six young urbanites trying to learn the ropes of adulthood. Through breakups and whatever other curve balls life throws them, the pals stick together.
Watchseries; I just found out about this show. Why this kind of show doesn't have more success is a mystery to me; and yet killing, cursing,and cheap nudity is all over the place. I have never seen the show Friends but the concept did make me think of it. Anyway, this show is about 6 friends. Alex, Dave, Brad, Jane, Penny, and Max. They are all "ah-mazing" as Penny would say and they are funny. It touches subjects that are current but in a light and funny way. The characters are great together, the situations are not forced and the dialogues flow naturally. Jane, Brad, Penny, and Max are my favorites but Alex and Jane do bring they own game and when they are all together it's just perfect. I would be shocked if I read that they did not like each other because watching them everyday makes me want to be in a group of friends just like that.I am so sorry that it's over but what a treat. I want to stop watching back to back episodes so it can last longer but I can't. Laughter is indeed a medicine. Great show. I recommend it.

Happy Endings watchseries. There have been a lot of Friends knockoffs over the past few years, most of them forgettable, some regrettable, but this is one funny show.
It's well written, fast paced, very funny. The characters are well defined individuals, each with their own quirks without being quirky.
The first five episodes have all been laugh out loud funny. The situations have been believable and relatable but go to very funny surreal places. It's creative but the creativity all comes organically from the characters so it never seems forced.
Also, no laugh track, no setup-punchline timing to make you feel stupid.

This show is simply spectacular. I've not had any high expectations when watching comedy pilots this TV year - especially not couples comedies.
I still thought I should give this a shot because I'm a fan of Coupe and Cuthbert. I can simply say that I loved it.
The chemistry between the actors are hard to put into words, their acting skills and the writing of the show all combined together make this into such a good show.
I'm so glad that this show has aired - and I can finally watch a new comedy that makes me really laugh hard when watching - yet enjoy the different aspects of the writing and still be humored by the quality of the episodes and their story lines.

I've watched the first two episodes of this show this afternoon.
To be honest, I gave it a try because it was Elisha Cuthbert, who I really liked since watching 'The girl next door'.
After the first couple of minutes I knew this might be a great show. The acting is great,each of the characters has something different and unique, the dialogs are funny and you get great moments of laugh. I hope this will not change later.
Overall, I highly recommend this show if you've watched 'The 70s show' or 'How I Met Your Mother'. I can hardly wait for more episodes. Hopefully this will not get canceled after a few episodes like a lot of other great shows were (like Firefly or Pushing Daisies.

I still don't understand...this show is absolutely hysterical and so entertaining. Thankfully it's on Hulu now so I can still watch when I want. BRING IT BACK!! Even if it's just for one episode/reunion...that would be "amahzing".

I read an earlier review comparing this show to 'Friends'. They couldn't be more wrong. Sure, its got the typical cast of 3 main female character and 3 main male characters, some who are in relationships and some who are single, but this seems to be the norm to most new sitcoms (ie. How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory etc.) This show on the other hand is quite refreshing in a way that makes it comparable to other popular past sitcoms, yet is original and different. Flashbacks during scenes remind you of Scrubs and Family Guy yet do it in a way that doesn't make it seem like they're stealing that idea. You've really got to see it to know what I mean.
So far, while writing this review only four episodes have been shown, and quite honestly, I can't wait for the next one to come out. The characters all have their own unique qualities that make them interesting and i'm sure that as the series goes on we'll get to know more about them.
In my own personal opinion I would definitely recommend Happy Ending to anyone willing to open themselves up to a new sit-com.
