Harley Quinn has wrapped its fifth season, showcasing a significant achievement for a series that originated on the niche DC Universe streaming service. Its finale, 'The Mess Is the Point,' bears the hallmarks of a series conclusion rather than merely a season wrap-up. The season's latter half intricately weaves nostalgia with new beginnings, highlighting character arcs such as Harley's reconciliation with her mother and the introduction of Frankette. The finale hints at significant changes for Harley and Ivy, leaving audiences with an open-ended conclusion and a powerful emotional resonance.
As pretty much the only show in the DC Universe stable to reach a broad audience, Harley Quinn deserves to take a big bow.
The back half of Harley Quinn's fifth season has felt like it was setting up a new status quo and looking back nostalgically in multiple ways.
If this was the last time we saw these characters in this configuration? It would be a nice way to send them out.
The wrap-up episode felt suspiciously like a series finale, not a season finale.
