With old and new characters working perfectly and the switch to Metropolis offering surprising possibilities for the show's lead duo, season 5 brings the series back to top form, and I hope we'll continue to get many more seasons to come.
-
Season 5 of Harley Quinn keeps the hilarity coming at a rapid-fire clip, concocts a whole host of new misadventures for its main duo – this time with Metropolis under threat – and expands on and strengthens Harley and Ivy’s love story in ways well worth shipping.
-
While Harley Quinn may be swinging its bat of storytelling far too quickly, season five is still a genuinely good continuation to one of the best queer-oriented animated series airing right now.
-
Though it’s occasionally amusing, it doesn’t amount to much more than drawing attention to how Harley Quinn suddenly feels like a show in stasis, unwilling to change the status quo even when all-new backdrops have been painted for it.
-
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.
-
With a poignant villain, ludicrous musical theater and an excellent performance from Archer star Aisha Tyler, Harley Quinn reinforces its place as one of the best animated shows on the air.
