The show blends dark comedy with violence and gore, exploring themes of trauma, self-improvement, and feminism.

I was by far excited to watch the new adult animated series from DC Universe, Harley Quinn. I watched the first episode and it was great as hell! Harley Quinn is such a fantastic villain to be a fantastic protagonist in the series, the violence, the animation, the writing, and the humor is very amazing! And I can easily say that this show is so great to watch. Now it became one of my favorite animated DC shows since Teen Titans, Young Justice, and DC Super Hero Girls (2019). I give Harley Quinn a 9.5/10
A fresh take on Gotham filled with flavour and fun. Every character has been given relatable human flaws and speak in conversational casual lending them so much more believability and dimension. The Ivy-Harley chemistry is natural and nothing about this show despite the occasional high fantasy shenanigan seems forced. Worked its way to my top animated shows of all time very quickly and I genuinely hope you love it too.
Great animation, very funny, made for adults and great voice acting.
Every episode so far had been a blast its really refreshing to see the bounds of animated super hero series being pushed.
There is lots of voilence, gore and adult theme'd content in this serie and i love it. This is how animated shows should be dc has another HOMERUN :)

This is Harley Quinn done right. Hilarious and touching, smart, witty, sarcastic, exciting, gloriously gory, and a tremendous send-up of the whole supervillian / superhero genre. Even though these are superheroes and villains, they all have very real human flaws, and the creators have a LOT of fun making them (especially Batman, Bane and Commissioner Gordon) as ridiculous as possible. Harley and Ivy are bad villains, but they are good people. Their chemistry is electric. The Joker is at war with himself and Harley while determined to blow up the city. And the supporting cast, voiced by stellar actors, is just icing on the cake. This show is addictive and pure fun. You WILL enjoy it.
SEASON 1 (4.5/5)
I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I do, this show is hilarious and the characters endearing (some of them are perfectly re-imagined from their comic counterpart).
There are a lot of gory surprises in it which is something that I wasn't expecting either, the shows can get suddenly very bloody before coming back to a regular adult comedy cartoon. Once again, the Joker is perfectly represented here, the over-the-top adult cartoon format really helps to create a brutal and hilarious Joker. It's not the first time that I saw a cartoon with an amazing first season but that starts to decline quickly after the second one, so I try to not have too much hope but we will see!
SEASON 2 (4/5)
The second season is as funny as the first with great action sequences and fun cameos. The concept of Gotham in ruin is a little hard to follow as sometimes it's pure chaos and then it's just a regular big city. Also, the Joker story while very interesting at the beginning just falls flat at the end (not because of the happy ending but because the potential of him fighting his double personality was so promising).
The second season doubled down the themes of female empowerment and relationship which gives us some great episodes. That said, it also brings some cringy jokes which won't have been a problem if the first season wasn't so full of hit jokes. Still, a pretty good second season, can't wait for the third!
SEASON 3 (4/5)
What a funny TV Show! Season 3 is as strong as its predecessor, with an interesting twist on popular DC characters (while keeping them close to their original vision) and a hooking dynamic between Harley and Ivy (which doesn't fall into some expected tropes). Usually, having main characters in a relationship makes him less interesting, but it's definitely not the case here. Harley is still as chaotic as ever, and Ivy is not there to put her back on the right track of the law. The only flaw here it's that it can be a little repetitive to have most of the episode following the same formula: Harley or Ivy jumps the gun and makes a big mistake, they have an open-heart talk and get closer after that.
The finale was still not as strong as the first season, but the Special Valentine's Day episode was one of the best TV episodes I ever saw! Hilarious!
SEASON 4 (4.5/5)
Harley Quinn keeps the hilarious jokes, crazy drama, and endearing characters for four seasons in a row now.
If it's a little disappointing to see Harley and Ivy separated for most of the season, you understand that it's necessary to keep the show interesting giving both of them their own arc. It's really Harley and Ivy show now, as basically all the secondary characters we learned to love for the past seasons were merely there instead of characters that we use to appear as cameo get the frontline like the Bat-family or the evil businesswomen. It's sad to see them go but the new cast is so funny you barely realize their absence.
The finale announced a promising fifth season, I will be there!
