Episode Summary & Review

Summary

No longer Gotham’s “…Most Exciting est Couple Ever,” Harley and Ivy decide to shake things up at Metropolis’ event of the year.

Our Take

A decent season opener that coasts on the fun of a new setting. The Metropolis move gives the show fresh material to poke at, and Harley and Ivy remain an easy pair to hang out with, but the jokes land about half the time and the plot machinery feels pretty thin. Worth a watch if you’re already on board, though it won’t win back anyone who drifted away.
