A Thief, A Mole, An Orgy

Oh Harley Quinn, where art thou? This season has turned into a boring romance drama instead of an action superhero comedy. Yes, the show has always been centered on Harley's love life, but there are two important differences now.

First is that there was always a strong superhero action component to drive the story forward. Now it feels like an afterthought thrown in by necessity. Nothing interesting ever happens anymore.

Then there is the main difference, which is that Harley/Joker was interesting while Harley/Ivy is boring. Harley/Joker had a built in conflict with a bite, with Joker being abusive and Harley being in denial. Harley/Ivy is what..? They are supposed to be together so they already start at the end, and there is no place for it to go. All this season has done is retread the same old ground of one or both of them getting kind of upset about something trivial while pretending not to.

And that's it. That's been this season, and that is this episode. This has gone from one of my favorite shows to one I force myself to watch in hopes that the next one will be better. I feel like I'm the one in an unhealthy relationship and in denial about it... but not for much longer.
