Harley Quinn Season 5 Begins On Max

In case you missed the graphic on the main page. the fifth season of Harley Quinn officially began last week. Max is rolling its adult superhero cartoons out in an orderly manner, with the season premiere of Harley Quinn coming out just one week after the season finale of Creature Commandos…which makes one wonder what they’re going to do for the rest of the year, but I guess we’ll find out when we get that far. This show usually pops up in the spring or summer, but this time it’s arriving with the New Year. The new episodes come with a change of scenery. After four seasons, Harley and Ivy have had it with Gotham. They’re leaving and heading to a place that hasn’t decayed into an urban hellzone (of their own making, mostly). Metropolis looks shiny, sunny, and unspoiled, so they make it their new home…unfortunately, they have the worst timing and picked the week that Brainiac chose to invade Earth. The season will be released one episode at a time…though it’s typical for these shows to debut new seasons with more than one installment ready, they did no such thing this time — there are only 22 minutes […]

Honestly, I’m just happy the show is still going. With all the changes happening at DC and MAX, it felt like it was on the chopping block. The fact that we have a fifth season, plus a Kite-Man spin-off, is amazing. I agree with the reviewer that the shift to Metropolis sounds like a great way to shake things up. I'm curious to see how Harley and Ivy navigate a completely different environment. I'm less concerned about the pacing issues. As long as the humor and character dynamics are still there, I'm in.
 
For some reason, this whole Metropolis setting and the dynamic between Harley and Ivy this season reminds me of the "Emerald City" segment from Wicked. You've got the vibrant, almost artificial setting, a blonde character with a chaotic energy, and a more grounded, green-skinned companion. There's a similar exploration of how these two very different personalities navigate a new, unfamiliar environment. It's an interesting parallel, and it makes me even more curious to see how Harley and Ivy's relationship evolves in Metropolis. I wonder if the writers drew inspiration from that dynamic as well.
 
I’m just here for King Shark. Honestly, every scene he’s in is gold. I really hope they give him his own spin-off sitcom. Imagine: King Shark trying to navigate the mundane world, dealing with everyday problems like grocery shopping or paying bills, all while still being a giant, talking shark. It would be hilarious. The review mentioning him babysitting his kids just makes me want it even more. He deserves his own show; he is the best part of Harley Quinn!
 
It's funny to think back to when this show first premiered. I remember so many people dismissing it as "too woke" and predicting it wouldn't even get a second season. They were saying a Deadpool animated series would be so much better. Well, where are they now? This show is on its fifth season, and their precious Deadpool cartoon is still just a pipe dream. It just goes to show you that quality writing and strong characters will always prevail over baseless negativity. I'm glad this show proved them all wrong.
 
I have to admit, I wasn't a fan of the first season. I found it a bit too chaotic and the humor didn't quite land for me. But something made me stick with it, and I'm so glad I did. The show has really grown on me over the years. The characters have become more complex, the writing has become sharper, and the emotional depth they've added is truly impressive. It's a testament to the creators that they were able to take what was a decent concept and turn it into something truly special. It now is one of my favorite shows.
 
Love this show! It's consistently funny, well-written, and features fantastic voice acting. The fact that they're able to balance the humor with genuine emotional moments is impressive. I am excited about the new season. The reviewer's concern about the pacing is valid, but I'm willing to give the show the benefit of the doubt. I trust the writers to deliver a satisfying story, even within the confines of the shorter season format.
 
I'm not surprised that the show is still pushing the boundaries with graphic violence. It's always been a key part of its identity. However, I'm glad to hear that they're also focusing on more mature themes like grief and trauma. It shows that the show is evolving and not just relying on shock value. I'm curious to see how they handle these themes, especially with characters like Harley and Ivy, who have complex backstories. I will definitely be watching the new season.
 
I'm a bit concerned about the multiple actor changes for some of the characters, especially Lex Luthor. It can be jarring when a character's voice suddenly changes. However, I'm glad to see that Aisha Tyler is back as Lena Luthor. She's always been a standout in the show. Overall, the review makes me cautiously optimistic about the new season. I'm hoping that the positive aspects outweigh the potential pacing issues.
