Morrison is known for his meta-fiction and the frequent breaks from reality that his works take, dipping heavily into surrealism even for superhero comic books. With that in mind, the premise of Happy! starts to make a lot more sense. The show – an adaptation of a miniseries by Morrison, it spans eight episodes of 43 minutes each – is about a former policeman who works as a hitman, who comes across a flying cartoon unicorn that only he can see, and the unicorn tries to get him to rescue a little girl who has been kidnapped by Santa Claus.
