Episodes 1, 2, and 3 of Harley Quinn season 4 give viewers an eventful and riveting journey
Intriguing storylines, which are backed up by excellent writing
Season 4 of HBO Max's Harley Quinn continues to take bold swings with its premiere episodes 1, 2, and 3. The first three episodes put equal focus on both Harley and Poison Ivy, as the two keep on doing what they know and do best. While Harley's character is seen to take a turn from her anti-hero persona, Ivy keeps her villainous priorities straight in this season, which leads to a shift in the dynamic of the inseparable duo.
The first episode sees Harley and the Bat Family dealing with Professor Pyg, who is a serial killer, and the titular protagonist ends up brutally ending Pyg's life. The second episode sheds light upon Alfred, who is seen taking the wrong path in order to reunite with Bruce. However, his plan fails, and he ends up in Arkham instead of Black Gate. The third episode then takes an emotional turn as viewers witness Ivy and Harley reigniting their friendship and becoming godparents to Tabita's nine shark babies.
Writers of the first three episodes of the show's season 4 have done a wonderful job of keeping the storylines fresh, distinct, and interesting. Each episode provides viewers with a different energy. Although the second and third episodes may feel less action-heavy in comparison to the first episode, all three have something different to offer to fans.
Especially scenes such as the one where Harley and Ivy are enjoying their time in Las Vegas, or the one where Harley brutally kills Professor Pyg, or the one where Alfred is caught by Harley while committing a bank robbery are are well-written and add contrasting elements to the new season.
Impressive voice acting by the cast makes the episodes fascinating to watch
The lead voice cast of Harley Quinn has been giving stellar performances to fans since the first season of the adult animated series. The promising voice cast members have returned for the fourth season and have continued to provide the audience with a fascinating experience.
