Eyes Wide Shut

Only Harley Quinn could walk into the Court of Owls, without a plan, have a fight in the bathroom, an argument and a loving moment w/ Poison Ivy All during an orgy based on Eyes Wide Shut. I love this show!

I'm about done with this show

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.

Worst episode yet?

I said what I said, this episode is nothing but filler, and it sucks. Ivy is trying to make her weird potion thingy, which is what this season's plot is about. But instead it keeps getting side tracked so it can be padded out for dumb fluff. Nothing concerning the plot happened, Harley and Ivy have a problem, they fight, they make up, rinse and repeat. It's such a poor way to write conflict and drama, that, sadly, this is the only way they can do it. If these people are fighting 24/7, then maybe they aren't for each other. This means the whole of seasons 1 and 2 have gone to waste. Since that season proved that they were meant for each other, and now that they're together, they're even worse. Kite man wasn't as bad! But to figure out that Ivy had been lying to Harley, we go through a ton of contrivances and conveniences to get there in the process. It's just filler where it does the same formula, where Harley does something to Ivy, Ivy hates it, they make up at the end. The court of Owls are introduced, but they aren't for any plot reason except for being an annoyance. And now they have Frank, so even more padding is going to happen in order to get back to the plot. The only thing that isn't padding, is Jim Gordon's side. But his story is awfully repetitive of trying to become mayor multiple times but each time failing. But some contrived thing happens that helps get him back in. The whole phone chase scene was very similar to the one in Bojack Horseman, in fact it's extremely similar. Except Bojack did it well, and made me laugh. And this one just made me groan and roll my eyes.

2/10.
