Happyland

"Happyland" offers a unique glimpse into the lives of those working at a fictional theme park, blending drama and comedy with a fresh perspective. The show's setting, a vibrant amusement park, serves as an engaging backdrop for exploring the characters' personal and professional struggles. The cast, including Isabella Gomez and Shane Harper, delivers solid performances that bring depth to their roles.

The show's strength lies in its quirky premise and the way it tackles the complexities of relationships and ambitions within the theme park world. The humor and drama are well-balanced, making for an entertaining watch. However, the show's potential is somewhat hindered by its brief run and the lack of deeper character development in some areas.

Despite its charming concept and engaging moments, "Happyland" struggles to maintain momentum and fully capitalize on its premise. The show's early cancellation left many storylines unresolved, which is a significant drawback for viewers who become invested in its world.

Overall, "Happyland" is a fun and light-hearted series that offers a glimpse into a unique setting but falls short of becoming a standout hit.

Liked it Disappointed only 1 season. Episodes a bit short too I want more

On the strength of the following he developed from Disney's Good Luck Charlie and from the Christian film God's Not Dead, Shane Harper has a new series on MTV Happyland that may last if it finds an audience. Although it looks G-rated there is already an issue raised so that I can't see the Disney Network would have aired this one.

Harper plays the younger son of a Wall Street tycoon who worked at the place as a kid and now in retirement has decided to buy the place and run it. Harper is a nice kid, but something of a party animal.

A long time employee of the park is Camille Guaty who is also something of a party animal and she has a teen daughter Bianca Santos who is more the adult in the relationship. Apparently she has to be.

If the show finds an audience and lasts it will be interesting to see how it develops. It's pleasant viewing.

A bit cheesy, of course, but it was generally a really fun series. Easy to watch, enjoyable, interesting tangled family drama. I wish it was more than 8 episodes, I would have kept watching!!
