This cartoon was funny as fuck. I had seen clips of the Harley Quinn series and was confused because I hadn't heard that it was coming out or anything in 2019 or that there was a whole 'nother season that aired. Whoever was in charge of advertising needs help because I be knowing all kinda random ass comic shows that come out or will be. This series is the best representation of Harley Quinn I have ever seen even when she is aggravating as hell with her desire to keep running to Joker. That is something a cartoon very rarely even has the ability to do. After leaving him she decides that she wants to outshine him and get her own gang. No one really wants to join her and she loses connections when people find out she isn't with Joker anymore. She eventually gathers her own crew.
She gets Doctor Psycho to join after he is kicked out the Legion of Doom for calling Wonder Woman a cunt on live television. She gets King Shark who could have easily been super annoying but worked. Clayface who is great and I love for once they take advantage of the fact that he was an actor. Poison Ivy eventually joins reluctantly with her funny ass plant Frank. They start off living in Ivy's apartment as their base until they move into an abandoned mall.
This show is violent as hell and had me cracking up in every episode. I expected this to not have a story that went all the way through but it actually did though the ending was kind of predictable. They not only focus on Harley and her relationships but also manage to fit in Jim Gordon's alcoholism and his damaged relationship with Barbara as she takes over after Batman gets his ass destroyed by Bane. If you got HBO Max you should definitely check this out. The portrayal of all the characters especially Harley was great. Learned all about her life and how it turned her into who she is which had previously been touched on in other shows or mangled in live action.
