Hapless - General Discussion

Hapless Seasons 1 (6 episodes) & 2 (8 episodes) will stream on April 10, 2024 on Peacock. This Comedy TV Series was originally titled The Jewish Enquirer before being changed to Hapless. Hapless streamed in the UK around 2021 on Prime Video, My5, and Netflix.

Hapless follows the misadventures of Paul Green, a single, freelance investigative journalist working for the fourth largest Jewish publication in the UK, The Jewish Enquirer.
