Smart, Stylish, and Dryly Ironic
Refreshingly nihilistic and amoral, this classic MTV animated series from the 1990s represented a truly wonderful break from the saccharine pap we're usually fed. It offered us a take on high school life light years away from the idealised vision to be found in so many shows. What we have here is considerably closer to the brutal - and just plain stupid - reality. What's more, "Daria" is a show that manages to pull all this off with a dry, rapier wit, and its own tersely ironic sense of style.
I know that five star reviews tend to predominate here on Amazon. So much so that it becomes almost a running joke. I think that's because according to Amazon's stated guidelines, five stars simply means "I love it!", and most folks tend to review what they love. But in all honesty, this really is an extraordinarily good piece of animation. One well worthy of five stars by just about any criteria.
As is the case with any TV show transferred to other formats, it needs to be...
It's Daria,
What else is there to day, it's Daria. I have loved this show since I first learned about it and am glad I get to watch it again.
One of the best shows from the 90's
Always amazing how right they portrayed things.
Like how a little effort by good looking but not so bright people made the good looking appear to be extra good of extra smart while truly gifted languished on the side sidelines keeping everyone out of trouble.
