What is Harley Quinn about?
Harley Quinn has finally broken things off once and for all with the Joker. Now, she's trying to make it on her own as the criminal Queenpin of Gotham City, with help from Poison Ivy and a ragtag crew of DC castoffs.
A newly single Harley carves out her own raunchy, absurd, and darkly comic criminal empire in Gotham.
Campy and pulpy, with dark satire. A late-night trip at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Max.

Three questions

- Only a little. Harley Quinn has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.
- How gory is Harley Quinn?
- Graphic gore and brutal violence. If graphic gore is a dealbreaker, skip it.
- What is Harley Quinn rated, and is it OK for kids?
- Rated TV-MA, and it earns it: moderate sex and nudity, brutal violence, and frequent strong language. Not one for kids.
