Happy Face Ratings & Reviews
- David30 January 2026Excellent
- John Chapel28 October 2025This show is really great. Annaleigh Ashford is an amazing actress as the lead. The gist is her father is a convicted serial killer and reveals that there's a girl he killed that he got away with. 8 episodes of twists and turns, its a modern detective story. Seriously, this show is so good they're probably going to ruin it with a season 2.
