Season 3 Review:
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.

Season 3 Review:
The show can only be summed up in one word: as Harley herself would put it, fan-fucking-tastic. ... This season, the show masterfully juggles the unhinged romance between two villains with some downright heartfelt moments. ... Yes, all the dark corners of Batman’s psyche finally get analyzed, and it is glorious. ... Season 3 only continues to define this Harley as the best one out there.

Season 2 Review:
There’s a giddy “while the cat’s away the mouse will play” mischievous energy, and more space than ever for Harley’s character arc and relationships to take center stage. It’s crazier than ever, relentlessly playful, funny as hell, and an absolutely delightful spin on the fan-favorite characters of Gotham City.

Season 1 Review:
Both Cuoco and Bell deliver gut-busting chuckles on silver platters while keeping up with the likes of Tony Hale, Ron Funches, Giancarlo Esposito, and Wanda Sykes as the devious Queen Of Fables. All of the familiar draws of DC animated hit are here—the snappy dialogue, the bold (and quasi-gruesome) action—but what makes this series uniquely appealing is that it’s a perfectly viable starting point for old and new fans alike.

Season 1 Review:
It's one of the best surprises of the year. ... 13 zippy, violent and irreverent half-hour episodes. ... The writing is frequently uproarious, chock full of Millennial nostalgia and cerebral gallows humor (the former may be low-hanging, rapidly-perishable fruit, but at least the show knows how to embrace its audience).

Season 4 Review:
For all that Harley Quinn's latest season might be lacking, it still knows how to lean into its greatest strengths: guffaw-worthy jokes, cheeky references to Nightwing's best attributes, and glorious, unadulterated violence. Four seasons in, and there's no doubt about who these characters are and what they contribute to the greater DC universe, even if their current place in their own world is a little more uncertain.

Season 4 Review:
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.

Season 5 Review:
Harley Quinn Season 5 is packed to the brim with the show's inevitable level of chaos, some of which makes its overall focus somewhat scattered. .... While Season 5 does wrap up to such a degree that it could be a natural series ending, it's also hard not to want more.

Season 4 Review:
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.

Season 1 Review:
The animation feels like that of a typical Saturday morning cartoon, but its acidic scripts and shocking bursts of gore reminds you that “Harley Quinn” is taking full advantage of airing on a streaming service without censors. ... Sharp voice performances across the board from actors clearly relishing the chance to play in this world also prove too fun to resist. ... Most importantly, Harley gets to be an entire person all her own, as heartbreakingly naive as she is wickedly strange and funny.

Season 4 Review:
Harley Quinn Season 4 is still good, but that’s a step down for a show that’s been consistently one of the funniest things on television for the past four years. Harley and Ivy repeatedly declare that they’re stronger together – when they’re apart, as they are for much of this season, the quality of the episodes dips.
