Daria stands out as a particularly strong depiction of alternative and geeky subcultures from the nineties and early two thousands. I’d even say it offers some of the most insightful portrayals of autistic or neurodivergent teenagers—particularly young women—seen so far. The show manages to poke fun at conventional society without abandoning empathy for those who participate in it, while also demonstrating how that mainstream can leave people like Daria feeling on the outside.
