My Take

Dominique McElligott will forever be Queen Maeve to me, the conflicted, hard-drinking superhero who became one of the best things about The Boys. I love how the Irish actress brought such a weary humanity to a character who could have been a cartoon, especially in that quietly heroic finale arc. But she'd already proven herself long before, from her steely turn in Hell on Wheels to House of Cards. There's a controlled intensity about her that I find magnetic. I'm always a little disappointed she doesn't headline more, because she's clearly capable of carrying anything she's handed.
