Set in a universe where superpowered people are recognised as heroes and influencers to the general public, the Amazon Prime series focuses on a team of vigilantes who aim to take down the corrupt members of ‘The Seven’; the world’s supreme superhero team (think Justice League or The Avengers).
The first season introduced audiences to Queen Maeve – played by House of Cards star Dominique McElligott – a Wonder Woman-esque heroine who joined the team to save lives, unlike other members of the team who desire fame, glory and power.
However, Meave suffers from burnout and PTSD, and unbeknownst to the rest of the team, is romantically involved with a woman.
