    Is Daria good? I watched a few episodes on terrestria TV as a kid but can’t remember much.

    Is it worth revisiting?

      It’s one of the best animated shows from its time and holds up really well if you grew up in the 90s/early 2000s. Some characters are your stereotypical high school archetypes like jocks and cheerleaders but it dives a little deeper into what makes some of them tick. It’s a very smart and hilarious show that I think should’ve lasted a little longer but ended in a good way regardless.

      Try to find a pirated version with the original music for the closing credits because MTV did a great job picking out contemporary artists. I heard music licensing problems led to rereleases axing them altogether which destroys some of the original charm of the series.
