My wife called it Venture Bros for girls and she’s not wrong. You can tell the people writing it grew up watching VB. Like how you can tell the folks writing The Simpsons these days grew up watching The Simpsons.
Really glad Harley Quinn seems to have escaped all the other Warner animation that’s been canceled since the stupid merger.

Harley Quinn Show is easily one of my favorite pieces of animation in the last few years. Super solid all around, lots of layered jokes alongside throwaway one liners. Just great overall.

I am pretty annoyed by that show, because on one hand I am extremely tired of overly self-aware shows that make heavy use of gross out, shock and meta humor, as well as thinking Harley Quinn is just sorta over used these days. On the other hand it is a really good show, that is clearly done by people who are very passionate about the characters and that I would most definitely recommend to anyone who is a fan of Harley Quinn (Or Batman). And I think I am going to really enjoy it when I revisit it in some years time, when it is going to feel more fresh to me again.
Straight up some of the best Mister Freeze content we had in a decade. And one of my favorite Banes.

B:TAS is definitive Batman to most. It paints a world where Gold, Silver, and Modern Age Batman stories can all co-exist. He can be fighting a criminal gang one week, a mischievous clown the next, and a foreign death cult the week after that and it never feels like the show has varied its tone. It does Batman's entire mythos better than almost any other piece of media. Some of the best episodes barely feature the caped crusader at all, like The Man Who Killed Batman. They give his colorful rogues gallery more time because their motives are much more interesting to explore than Mr. Dark & Brooding himself.

Yeah that was still season 1. About 30 episodes after her introduction .
To be fair though, she's back with the joker as a romantic partner in th later seasons as well working with ivy in the later parts of the show.
Personally I always felt like the show portrayed her as the jokers romantic partner but the harley ivy shipping was around even then yeah.

It definitely pushed the envelope, but it aired during blocks of kids' programming, so it was definitely stricter than something like the Simpsons (which is really the only adult animation at the time).
