    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.

    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.

    Harley Quinn is both a tender kiss on the cheek and a baseball bat to the face, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

    By exploring the murkiness of who’s a hero and who’s a villain in the context of the anarchy that is Harley Quinn’s Gotham, while centering so much of the action around its core love story, the show hits a whole other level.

    The irreverence through which the series approaches any well-known comics beats and immediately lampoons them to their greatest potential results in some of the best comedy throughout the season.

    The balance between character-driven arcs, overall humor, and, most importantly, a mature portrait of gay romance makes this one of the best adult-animated series airing today.

    It's generally great. ... The only thing holding Harley Quinn back is the creeping feeling that it wants to be the craziest possible version of a normal Batman story.

    A kid's show shouldn't so blatantly push any political ideologies, regardless of their nature

    A serious step backwards from the previous two seasons. We get what they are trying to do here but the relationship angle was tired in seasonA serious step backwards from the previous two seasons. We get what they are trying to do here but the relationship angle was tired in season 2, Dragging it out through Season 3 is making the show a chore.

    Not enough focus on the things that were enjoyable of the show. Characters like King Shark, Clayface, Bane who are pure comedic gold. Ivy can have some good zingers but with way too much focus on her character it shows the flaw that she has always been second tier. Too much focus on her is just grinding the show into the dirt.

    Hopefully they get over this bad season and get back to the actual comedy.    … Full Review »
