Happy Endings

Casting-wise, it's a genuine hit, and the screenplay is also remarkable over time. But when the murderously beautiful duo of Elisha+Eliza meets the charming Zachary Knighton, you can't expect anything else. And when Max, played by the almost debutant Adam Pally, becomes the main attraction, an inconspicuous yet reliable sitcom is born. These verbal shootouts are very difficult to surpass the competition, and it's only a matter of whether the precisely balanced over-the-top mood will eventually turn into self-parody. It didn't happen. On the contrary, the creators gradually sharpened the humor to a peak, and it's a great pity that the series is leaving, albeit at its peak, but unfortunately with several never pulled trumps. With more continuity between individual episodes, the highest rating would have been inevitable. However, even as it is, there remains a very significant satisfaction after three announced years, and absolute recognition goes to David Caspe's stable for not even starting to boil water for a moment.
