DC Universe's funny, gory supervillain comedy HarleyQuinn mixes rollicking action with psychological growth. Read the review:
In 13 zippy, violent and irreverent half-hour episodes, we're introduced to lovesick Harley, a minor sidekick in unbecoming pantomime garb, who soon breaks free from her toxic romance with narcissist Joker to branch out on her own . Harley, a former practicing therapist, bursts with lava-hot anger, and her addiction to her own temper ends up her Achilles heel in most episodes. She's a great protagonist because she makes bad decisions and maintains unhealthy goals.
Short of being "How Harley Got Her Groove Back," the series takes its time to deprogram its heroine from the abuse cycle, following her as she slowly builds her nascent supervillain business/brand. First, her sardonic and husky-voiced best friend Poison Ivy stages an anti-Joker intervention for Harley that includes hurling her friend in a vat of neon margarita mix disguised as acid .
Then, once her ex is out of her life, Harley realizes how little respect she has in the supervillain boys club and seeks to establish a ruthless reputation for herself. She assembles a new crew, including a #MeToo-disgraced Doctor Psycho , shapeshifting thespian Clayface , easygoing fishman King Shark and elderly spy-turned-cyborg Sy Borgman . Ivy, an avowed environmentalist with her own plant-based agenda, insists she's not officially in the crew...
Instead of relying on caper-of-the-week hijinks, the producers opt to highlight Harley's personal growth, organically building action sequences and serialized storylines from that seismic emotional epicenter. Harley may be a supervillain, but she's also healing from systemic manipulation, finally able to explore her own identity outside of her ex's. Like the late, great
