Oh, and also, said kidnapper is a man dressed as Santa Claus, whom Happy refers to as Very Bad Santa. It also starred the beloved comedian Patton Oswalt as an animated blue unicorn named Happy (who, of course, only Nick can see) who involves him in a convoluted plot to rescue a little girl from her kidnapper - a girl who may or may not be Nick's estranged daughter. The series had the benefit of featuring Meloni (a criminally underutilized character actor) in the lead role of Nick Sax, a perpetually drunk and drugged-out ex-detective who turns to contract killing to support his massive substance intake. That series was based on a four-issue limited series also published by Image and created by comics legend Grant Morrison, who has simply worked on more iconic titles than can reasonably be listed here. It was also announced that Happy!, which just wrapped up its second season, has suffered the same fate. There's an outside chance, though, that it isn't the end of the road for the series Sony Pictures Television, its production house, will shop it around in hopes of finding it another home. The show certainly had its share of critical supporters, however, and with the Russos having just firmly cemented their place among Hollywood royalty with their latest big-screen directorial effort - a tiny little art house flick called Avengers: Endgame - it's a little shocking that Deadly Class wasn't allowed a second season to continue finding its footing.
