The Pursuit of HAPPYish

An in-depth look into the world of the cancelled 2015 TV show HAPPYish (starring Steve Coogan) which aired on Showtime. Happyish was a bold dark comedic drama (dramedy) that wasn't afraid to investigate the real status of our capitalistic 21st century world and ask both the characters and the audience, what is Happiness? And how are we each pursuing it?

You were right. This was a much much better review! Liked and subbed.

I'm quite glad you enjoyed this review :). I think you'd also enjoy the video that came before this one, "The Dark Side Of Technology & Entertainment", I don't know.. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the narrative of that video as well.

Really good work on the video, Honestly a little shocked it has so little views. I'm sure if you keep up the quality of your videos the people will come. Keep up the good work and i look forward to your next video.

I really super appreciate the words of praise! :D. I'm glad you enjoyed this video (definitely check out the show on Netflix if you haven't already), I imagine you're enjoying the content in general as well - which is wonderful! And yes; I too hope that in time the quality of what I craft here will make its mark, to quote Field of Dreams "If you build it, they will come".

I'm going to make you a shoutout video, I'll put it at the end of this weeks video, no doubt a very unrecognised channel that deserves a lot of more attention. I don't care if you give me a shoutout back, This channel is great.

Thank you Agony, I really appreciate it! Lately the plight of smaller YT channels has been plaguing my mind. I've been discussing certain issues smaller channels now-a-days face with another small-time KZbinr. I already have a good buildup of smaller channels listed under my "Insightful Channels" on the Virtue & Insight homepage. I plan on doing shoutouts (even if just channel logo annotations sitting with the knight at the end screen). In the meantime I'll add you to the channel section. If I had started years ago, and if I had a stronger YT influence I would be letting the audience know about smaller channels as much as possible, I feel larger channels should be doing this as it is much harder for obvious reasons for smaller channels to grow today, (it was not so difficult between 2005-2012). KZbin today is more tuned for business promotion (Late night TV shows, movie clips, Vevo, ect), 1-person small-time creators no longer have any decent chance to "Broadcast Themselves" as the old saying goes. Also you may notice successful large channels cross-promote other large channels, seems wrong somehow, doesn't it?

Brilliant video!

[@VirtueInsightWebPage]

Thanks! I've always been really proud of this one- and I loved Happyish and am sad it only had 1 season. :/

@@VirtueInsightWebPage you're welcome! I liked how the series pitted neurotic, self-involved adults against cocky, self-involved millennials who are taking over their elders’ workplaces and cultural primacy. I truly missed the series!
