A sharp-witted animated satire of high school absurdity anchored by a misanthropic but fundamentally compassionate protagonist and her close friendships.

After moving to a new town with her stressed-out parents and relentlessly popular little sister, Daria uses her acerbic wit and keen powers of observation to contend with the mind-numbingly ridiculous world of Lawndale High.
