A Thoughtful Parody of the 'Daria' persona.
When I first saw this show over ten years ago, I was a teenager about Daria's age. I admired Daria's dry wit and intense cynicism. Her ability to take every comment from the people around her and turn it on its head--I loved it. As someone who was bullied and teased from Day One in school, I admired the hard exterior that Daria used to shield herself.
But I just recently got Amazon Prime and I have been re-watching this series. My perspective on it has changed vastly. It's incredible how age and experience can completely change the outlook on something you've known for a good chunk of your life. It struck me the most in Season Two--See Jane Run--where Daria shows her real self.
The 'Daria' persona is further examined in "Through the Lens Darkly"--where Daria considers getting contacts and has this big dilema over whether something paltry like contacts, change who she is.

Witty, dry, perfect!
A perfect show for the unrelenting rebel in all of us. Season 3 is a great continuation of the story.
