The way the show continues to surprise and delight audiences among the carnage and the crassness is an entirely unique charm that “Harley Quinn” can continue to boast. ... “Harley Quinn” transcends the conventions of the animated superhero series, adapting a personality as unflinching and unique as its heroine and namesake.
The irreverence through which the series approaches any well-known comics beats and immediately lampoons them to their greatest potential results in some of the best comedy throughout the season.

First of all, I'm so gay. Second, the series is really funny. Third, I really enjoyed the series. I love the little details, such as the girl locked in the tax book, which later influenced events. The characters are brilliantly created, my favorite is probably Bane (he is too kind, as much as I feel sorry for him).

Thank you Paul Dini and Bruce Timm for creating Harley Quinn, one of my favorite characters since childhood, both as a villain and as an anti-hero. it is well-written, and the animations are fantastic. Great show.

Episode after episode, this season careens through twists and turns like a candy-colored—and, for a while, black-and-white—runaway train.
A show as consistently great as Harley Quinn is bound to stumble a bit at some point; and co-creators Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker’s experiment with making Harley virtuous is a big swing that doesn’t quite pay off. But ultimately, it’s no harm, no foul, as high-stakes developments late in the season set the stage for a fifth installment that could be just as fucked-up, emotionally rich, and, most vitally, fun as the show has ever been.
The intricate plotting extends to the playfully dirty but heartfelt romance between Harley and Ivy. Like all love stories, it inevitably dipped in excitement once the characters finally committed to each other. But their relationship—increasingly strained by their diverging moral codes—is all the more affecting for how it builds on their individual arcs.
While Harley Quinn may be swinging its bat of storytelling far too quickly, season five is still a genuinely good continuation to one of the best queer-oriented animated series airing right now.
The result of this very adult comedy (seriously, not for kids) feels very inside baseball -- skewed as it is toward the kind of fanboys who'll appreciate the way-inside jokes and savor the overall naughtiness.
Not even going to botherI barely watched the first season, can't say anything, too disappointing and too overrated. This is a blasphemy, a bad copy of all the other rivals, they took and made everything that I don't like. I won't say more because it took too much of my time already. At your own risk try it. Peace!

I really wanted to like this show especially since it was well-marketed and the art and animation is phenomenal for an Americanized anime. While the narrative is fitting to Harley Quinn's style as is the feminist tone she's been associated with since conception, it's the overall ideology-forcing and complete lack of self-awareness that was the final nail in the coffin.Now the characters are pretty shallow and hard to relate to, and that's because the male ones are always portrayed as beta males or over-powered dunces without tact. It didn't feel empowering to females, but instead just came off as ignorant of how human beings interact. Batman is overly gullible and sensitive, Joker is just a **** rather than actually funny and clever, and many core villains are just done total injustice. I can't tell if it's bad writing or the author just wanting to portray men negatively in an effort to portray women positively.Clayface was a great character, Shark King was just okay though his portrayal left something to be desired. But oh my God they just butchered the handling of Dr. Psycho. Now Dr. Psycho was a character with a great deal of potential, lots of intelligence and emotion, clearly an underdog who got thrown under the bus for saying the word **** to his enemy. I thought his arc would be about embracing his offensiveness or growing into a leader in his own right, but instead they just spend the entire series having all his allies be verbally cruel, petty and hateful towards him. It left a bad taste in my mouth.Plus this one episode in season 2 where they just point out valid criticism of the show, but then pretend it's just bad criticism for no real reason by portraying the critic as a sexist hypocrite, made me want to leave this review. It made me think: "wow, this show was finally meta, and yet still managed to be totally self-unaware." Harley Quinn as a series is very very average. And if you want average, you'll get it. The author dropped the ball in making this more than just an average show. Great color work and animation, some characters are compelling and interesting such as Ivy and Quinn.But, taken as a whole you get a lot of character mishandling, heavy-handed ideology pushing, and an author that clearly hates their critics more than actually wants to understand the valid weight of the criticism. This show needed another author to fine-tune the characters to be believable and intelligent, to curb the heavy-handed ideology pushing, and to tell this author that men are not a bunch of **** ****. Did the author think women hate men or something? It really leaves a bad taste in the mouth and makes me dislike the author on a personal level.

You know the drill by now with shows centered around feminist propaganda, and how they like to promote hate and toxicity towards men. This parrots that slop that typically comes out of holly-wood that formal critics eat up, and actual fans despise. This takes all your favorite heroes and basically portrays them as incompetent, unstable and basically unintelligible, especially the male characters (in general for both good guys and bad) all to prop up its female cast which it doesn't even do a great job representing their original characters. You got basically what you would expect in your typical woke propaganda machine as if running off a checklist mindlessly to shoe horn it in. You got your boss babes, lesbian lovers, insert male degradation here, etc - everything a growing woke show needs. Nothing really special here. I like Harley as a character but not this depiction of her. I much prefer her original interpretation in the 90s animated batman series where she garnered her popularity and whose character I believe was based on the person who voiced her Arleen Sorkin whom has now passed sadly (The first and best Harley to this date in my opinion). The injustice version of harley probably my distant second if I had to pick. Not fond of the rest and where they took her character in general following suicide squad forward. When you change the character, it puts the fans of her original character in a tough position. As much as I wanted to try to like this, the characters and jokes just did not land for me and were pretty cringe worthy at times. If they took a little of the feminine toxicity out of this and their portrayal of male superheroes/characters as foolish the show could have maybe been slightly bearable, perhaps up my score to a 4 or 5. Overall it still wasn't the best, and I think highly over rated. I also didn't like what they did with Nora Fries character basically making her out to be a hoe. As someone that grew up in the 90s and seeing how much she meant to Mr. Freeze it was a bit too much for me. So its not even really only the male characters that are **** in this show. Definitely a skip for me, and a bit of a frustrating watch. The only appeal really was that it was perhaps more matured themed? Or as mature as a show about a clown girl can be. But that really was its only saving **** the only thing perhaps that made it a little more unique. TLDR: Meh.
