How this season is filed

Filed by Tessa Quinn · Spoiler-Free (Mostly)

MTV’s deadpan antidote to teen gloss: a trench coat, a monotone, and a high school that deserves every eye-roll. Daria Morgendorffer treats popularity as a failing grade while Jane Lane draws the real picture. Adolescent satire that still feels like a private language — smart without being cruel, cooler than the jocks it refuses to chase.

TV Flash files Season 2 of Daria (1997–2002) on MTV as a mid listed season (2; 2 of 5) — 13 listed hours, 1998-02-16–1998-08-03 from “Arts 'n' Crass” (S02E01) to “Write Where It Hurts” (S02E13). Titles, dates, and synopses on file — no invented recaps.
