Harley Quinn: The Complete First Season DVD Review

May 222020
 

Harley Quinn: The Complete First Season features some great animation and Kaley Cuoco isn’t bad voicing the lead, but the storytelling never worked for me, although the characterization of HQ seemed spot-on.

Harley Quinn (KALEY CUOCO) finally breaks things off with the Joker once and for all and attempts to make it on her own as the criminal queen pin of Gotham City. With the help of Poison Ivy (LAKE BELL) and a ragtag crew of DC castoffs, Harley tries to earn a seat at the biggest tale in villainy: the Legion of Doom, she’s on a lunatic mission of ambition and nothing can stop her, except maybe Gotham City’s law enforcement; Batman; or her jealous, deranged ex. But don’t worry – she’s got this, or does she? Strap in for this monster demented thrill ride!

SPECIAL FEATURES – 0/5
This two-disc release comes housed in a standard DVD case. No features were included.

 

VIDEO – 4.0/5, AUDIO – 4.0/5
Warner Bros. releases Haley Quinn: The Complete First Season onto DVD presented with a 16×9 enhanced, 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and for the most part, as standard definition goes, looks quite good and colorful I keeping with the comedic tone.

The included Dolby Digital 5.1 track is serviceable enough providing clear dialogue with some modest ambient noises, mostly the generic score.

OVERALL – 3.0/5
Harley Quinn: The Complete First Season features some great animation and Kaley Cuoco isn’t bad voicing the lead, but the storytelling never worked for me, although the characterization of HQ seemed spot-on at least. This DVD, however, has no bonus material but the audio and video transfers were pretty good.
