A new show on ABC called Happy Endings is getting some great reviews. I watched the first few episodes and they were good, but as I watch they get better and better! I love the people and how they are not the typical characters you see everyday. This group of 6 (yes, I know, Friends...but remember, I love them too!) This group is barely 30 and have already known each other for about 10 years. I think that dynamic is harder to create than when people meet for the first time as the series starts.
There is a married couple - mixed race - and, guess what, nobody talks about it!! Yeah!! The wife is a little neurotic and maybe a little crazy. Her husband is Damon Wayan's son!! He is so funny. He is married but at times plays the typical gay character. I guess he is in touch with his feminine side.
There is a gay guy, but he is SO not the typical gay character - he loves sports, dresses badly, etc. He has great lines and it is refreshing to have something different.
The "ultimate single girl" really wants to not be single. She has a guy she "really likes" each show. Her characeter hasn't developed much but she has great lines.
The last 2 characters were suppose to get married, in the first episode, but she left him at the alter. Of course, they are trying to be friends and probably will be back together. Neither of their characters have been developed yet but there are endless possibilites.
Tune in and see if this show really will have Happy Endings!
