Review of Daria

Daria (1997–2002)
8/10
Why does this look so much like my life?

This show perfectly represents what's wrong with today's society.... With the insane people you meet in life, to the adults who couldn't possibly care less about you.

This show isn't overtly political, despite what some people say, there are some jokes about it mixed in, but not too preachy.

This is also a very quiet show, which some people might think is bad, but it's a lot better than Family Guy, and it's honestly relaxing not having a loud slapstick show for once...

It involves Daria Morgendorffer, a smart sarcastic girl in highschool. Who tries to fly under the radar from the idiots she's surrounded by.

Her chemistry between Daria and her friend, Jane Lane is literally the (but not the only) best thing about this show.

Her teachers are also hilarious, (Mr. DeMartino being one of the best in my opinion).

Her parents Helen and Jake, who are completely blindsided by the fact Daria is an social-outcast. Also have great chemistry between each other.

With Helen being a lawyer who is always looking forward to helping her family.

To Jake who is paranoid about the things around him due to having issues with his father during his childhood, several episodes are dedicated to this.

I could talk about the other memorable characters and how great they are, but there's one issue with one of these characters who I dislike.

Daria's sister Quinn is so annoying, her voice is very pippy and squeaky and very hard to listen to sometimes. And she's always about the latest fashion with her being vice president of the fashion club.

Although, despite some not good episodes.

You always stay for Daria's sarcastic humor, and I couldn't be any more pleased...
