The DC Universe animated series Harley Quinn has once again proven to be a success, as it took home the award for Best Animated Series at the Critics Choice Awards. The series has received widespread acclaim for its third season, which premiered last year. The show's lead character, Harley Quinn, has been a fan-favorite for years, and the series takes a fresh approach to the character, depicting her as a strong, independent woman who is not afraid to break the rules. The show took this concept even further, as Harley Quinn began to build her own criminal empire, while also dealing with the complications of her relationships with her friends and enemies.
The Critics Choice Awards is a highly-regarded event in the entertainment industry, and the animation category is always a fiercely competitive one. Harley Quinn was up against some heavyweights in the field, including Bluey, Bob's Burgers, Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and Undone. The adult animated series recently wrapped its third season and has been able to secure a renewal despite the Warner Bros. Discovery merger that led to the cancelation of many titles.
The third season of the series has been highly acclaimed for its character development and storytelling. The installment saw the growth of the relationship between the main characters, Harley and Ivy, despite some obstacles along the way. Along with the rest of the crew, including King Shark, Clayface, and Frank the Plant, the duo used the power of nature to take on Gotham, solidifying their status as a force to be reckoned with in the city's criminal underworld.
