Absolutely love it. First animated comic series that I have seen in sometime that is entertaining. I believe it is now my favorite, hope it can keep up the momentum.
I was looking forward to an R-rated Harley Quinn show. Like Deadpool, the rating would allow the character to be fully realized. But, the final product just seems to be a hot mess that appears it was written by a teenager who is just copying what others have done better in the past. The show starts off really laying on the feminist message that men are dumb egocentric idiots, and women are superior. This is beat into the view from the moment the show starts and becomes almost unbearable during the second episode, not until you get past episode three, does it becomes slightly more tolerable. The humor falls flat as most of the jokes are not funny, and the overuse of ultra-violence is unnecessary and feels out of place. Speaking of the violence, except for a few scenes, most of the action involves men getting killed and mutilated for no reason other than for the sake of women empowerment.
The cast does their job, Kelly Cucco brings her energy to the role but nothing new. She doesn’t even bother with an accent like all other Harley Quinn’s in the past have. This makes me feel like I am watching Penny from BBT, in cosplay. The best part of this show is Poison Ivy. Her friendship with Harley and her relationship with a villain called Kiteman shows that the show does have something it can offer other than the caper of the week non-funny violence fest that we have. DC, if you choose to renew this show for season two, please focus more on the inter-group relationships and less on the Ultra-feminist message and do not go for an R-rating just for the rating. Let the show and story justify the R-rating.
It seems like it was written by an 11 year old at best. They through in some profanity to make it rated R. VERY HARD TO WATCH.
turning from a comic to a rom-com is beyond me
I'm a big comic book reader. I also like TV and movies. I'm not a Harley guy. I like smart, self-aware comedies that comment on society though (Community; Boondocks; Parks n Rec; Rick & Morty) and this was that for sure.
This show is Great. Highly recommend if you're like me!
Stopped watching in season 3. The jokes dried up, the interesting characters were gone, every male was usless and a simp. They ruined Joker. Just wasn't fun for me to watch anymore.
I absolutely enjoy this glorious bloody gem of an animated series! I wish there were more like it. It’s humorous and unapologetic. It truly is a Harley Quinn show!
My expectations were really low for this compared to Harley Quinn movies, but man this show was really awesome, i loved it.
I'm not a huge fan of many of the depictions of the Harley Quinn characters in media, but this series is doing great things with the characters. Dialogue and delivery pulls no punches. Witty and funny, and still have an admirable message in there.
The most F***up DC animated series in a while.
Actually enjoyed the story and stupid humor.
SEASON 3 BABY!!! LET'S FUCKING GO
I've always loved Harley and I've always bee a fan of Ivy, but this show just made me appreciate them on a whole other level. Absolutely incredible show. It's not perfect - far from it - but every moment with Harley and Ivy is a blast. Their romance feels incredible natural.
Great show, really funny and an animated show for adults at the same level as Rick & Morty and with the best represantation of the Harley Quinn character to this day.
I haven't watched anything DC in an extremely extremely long time. Probably since the Dark Knight? I just didn't see a reason to, because most of the time Hollywood had been just getting their hands on things & making them a bit too bland & overly done in my opinion. The last time I had really truly loved one before, was Tim Burton's Batmans. I binged this series in under 3 days. I couldn't stop... It's so good. It made me laugh, it made me cry. Tbh, I never knew much about Harley Quinn, and I really enjoyed the hell out of this story. Every bit. I watch a ton of series & films & this is one of my favourites. Instantly. I want more! Love the voice acting in this - it's perfect. Each character gets to shine, and there is a lot of great stuff going on.
Update: seasons 2 and 3 aren't quite as fun to be honest. I still enjoy it, but it's missing A lot of the things that drew me to the show - the action, the silly nonsense, the "senseless violence" (not always something I want, but the way the show did this, it was fun. At times It was a non-stop joyride.) There are shows that do this well in animation, like Superjail and Metalocalypse. It's not meant to be serious... Idk... . I love the animation style, the character design, and where they took the story at the end of season 1 - but why did they make it so much tamer and duller? Is it to pander to the delicate sensibilities of certain people? Idk. I'm not the average person... I'm a pansexual octopus with an obsession for animation, comedy, drama, art, and the obscure. I enjoy weird and fun things. I hate when things get turned into the same as everything else. This started out very differently imo
I've also started watching all of the DC animated Batman films and shows - which are mostly good. I really loved both the Suicide Squad live action movies - mostly the second one though. Not as much as I loved Batman: Assault On Arkham - which is basically a Suicide Squad movie. Anyway - I wish and hope that Harley will go back to the way it was before.
was skeptical, but loved it.
I don't like DC comics and I don't like superheroes and supervillains. Especially Batman and Joker.
Now this is literally a masterpiece, and the season 2 finale is so worth watching it all
I don't really know whether I should hope for season 3 or be satisfied with how perfect the first two seasons were, but I'd really like to see more of Ivy and Harley.
Great show. This show isn’t for everyone but if you like Superheroes and crude humor this will be up your alley.
DC may not make a good movie but they sure do make a great animated series. This rocks!
I actually enjoyed This Show..Love the Animation Type..And The Kiteman/Poison Ivy relationship is so funny, they should have they own Team Up Side Show..
Having the joker in this at all should be illegal. And the microaggressions if watering down catwoman. Also like..... just let harley and ivy be together.
Lots of warnings but like on the top of my head is joker is happier than harley and like theres an episode wbmhere harley thirsts over the child version of adult actor for no reason. Yeah its bad.
Still the best show I've watched on HBO MAX.
Great show, I wish discover it sooner.
lol there are some really upset men in these comments, hilarious
Why don't we have a non cartoon series with Margot in it and lots of Ben Affleck Batman? And Krysten Ritter could be Poison Ivy. Or Christina Hendricks, Blake Lively, or Olivia Wilde. As long as they can do a properly sultry low-throated voice. And if not Margot for Harley we could have the actress who played Lee Thompkins in Gotham, Morena Baccarin.
Either way, I want a real show not a cartoon. I might have even settled for a watered down CW Harley. The best would have been Netflix doing a Harley in the Daredevil/Punisher/Jessica Jones/Luke Cage kind of vein.
Still. Might try this.
Do NOT let your kids watch this show - it's definitely not a show for the kiddies. It's just a lot of fun for adults.
Well, when it was all said and done, this show was MUCH more entertaining than "Birds of Prey."
Wait, six episodes?.... ONLY SIX EPISODES??!!!

The first and only animated DC or Marvel show or movie I've actually found worth watching. Finally, one for adults (and, considering the language and graphic violence, only for adults at that). And I must say that Harley is pretty hot in this. Don't get confused by the start of the first episode, as she does change to her new modern Suicide Squad-based outfit eventually. This series is focused on the bad guys, sidekicks, the competitive environment for them. Also, it has a lot of points about female empowerment (mansplaining, etc.) which is refreshing vs. more outdated roles. Definitely addicted, and can't wait for the 3rd episode!
