Harley Quinn (2019– )
9/10
Everything the Birds of Prey movie isn't.
14 June 2020
I write this after watching the drivel that was the Harley Quinn movie "Birds of Prey". Where the live action was unable to articulate a story and relied solely on Margot Robbie to carry the entire film the animation steps up and shows them how it should be done.

Kaley Cuoco makes Harley come to life every bit as much as Margot does but here she's ably assisted by many other interesting characters, by scriptwriters who can tell a joke and heaven forbid an actual storyline too which is woven out across the entirety of the two series so far. It's funny, it makes you care for the characters and it appears that the best talent is working in animation.

I suspect the end product is often better in animation because it usually starts with someone who has a story to tell rather than an accountant with a formula film to churn out. I sincerely hope there's a third series because anyone cancelling this ought to be the ones in Arkham.
