Harley Quinn Season 5, Episode 5 Review: A Murder Mystery With Irreverent DC Characters Is As Much Fun As It Sounds

:0:1

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Harley Quinn season 5, episode 5Harley Quinn season 5, episode 5 continues the DC series after one of the show"s best overall episodes. Last time around, it was all about Brainiac, complete with an intro sequence dedicated to the villain and his backstory. I loved seeing a new side of the character, as Harley Quinn tried to humanize the villain by focusing on his family and how Brainiac started on his path of destruction across the universe. After that, I couldn"t wait to see how his story developed throughout the season.
Sure, Brainiac poses a major threat, and every time the character is onscreen means something important to season 5"s main plot. But there are more adventures to be had with the characters before any forward movement with Brainiac happens. Harley Quinn is a show that knows the value of having fun with beloved characters, so plot-heavy episodes and one-offs will live on for as long as the show continues to air new seasons. Episode 5 is part of the latter, offering a fun look at DC characters in a popular genre.
A Murder Mystery Takes Over The DC Series Harley Quinn Brings Back Fan-Favorite Characters Close After a funny start with Frank and King Shark"s son, Sean, episode 5 takes the action to Bruce Wayne"s apartment. One of my favorite aspects of the new season is how it managed to keep Bruce around despite the action shifting from Gotham City to Metropolis. Harley Quinn"s version of Bruce is far more comedic than Batman is known for and it works so well in the context of the show. Episode 5 knows how to capitalize on that with a huge Gotham party.
The result is one of the show"s most distinct episodes and a fine addition to season 5.
Lois Lane, Damian Wayne, the Joker, Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne, and more join Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn for a fun adventure that involves a murder mystery. There has been a surge of murder mystery movies and shows and, as a fan of 2019"s Knives Out and its sequel, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, I felt like Harley Quinn very much leaned into the franchise"s tone and humor. The result is one of the show"s most distinct episodes and a fine addition to season 5.
