Season two of the animation series follows the day by day action of Harley Quinn, who makes her mind to assume control over things in the Gotham City by her own, in the wake of parting ways with the Joker. In this new season, Harley goes covert to find a malice.
The new season has a darker tone, which I'm just not sure works for it... Maybe the writers have some tricks up their sleeves for some fun shenanigans for Harley and her crew to get into. This isn't a great start, though.
If you weren't sold on the first season of Harley Quinn, the Season 2 premiere probably won't change your mind. However, the series looks to be even stronger in its sophomore outing.
While it's ridiculous this show isn't available to binge, it's still a very funny & clever show worth watching. Cuoco continues to be the best Harley since the original.
"New Gotham" marks a colourful return to the brilliantly bonkers world of Harley Quinn, setting up an exciting power struggle between Harley and the Injustice League.
Thankfully, nothing much has changed about Harley Quinn's wicked humor; it beats you over the head with rapid-fire quips before knocking you out with some truly gruesome, but oddly satisfying fight scenes that are heavy on the gore factor.
Harley's choice to drag her feet instead of seizing control at such an opportune time doesn't quite gel with the determined woman we've come to know during the previous season.
