From Morgana in Merlin to The Tooth Fairy in Hannibal, these 10 shows of the 21st century feature some pretty underrated villains.
Television keeps delivering quality shows for eager fans looking to be shocked, surprised, and compelled. Networks like HBO and streaming services like Netflix and Hulu produce numerous quality shows filled with fascinating and riveting characters, including many memorable and terrifying villains.
9 Cora Mills — 'Once Upon a Time' Academy Award nominee Barbara Hershey plays Cora Mills in multiple episodes of the ABC fantasy show Once Upon a Time. Cora is the mother to the main antagonist, Regina, and the show's version of the Queen of Hearts. A powerful sorceress, Cora is driven by ambition, envy, and hatred, although her love for Regina is genuine.
7 Vandal Savage — 'Young Justice' Young Justice is arguably the 21st century's best DC animated show. It features a team of teenage sidekicks turned adult heroes battling many of the company's most iconic villains. Vandal Savage acts as the series' overarching antagonist, portrayed as the first-ever metahuman and the leader of the villainous team, The Light.
Mike is a classic Fargocharacter: brilliant, funny, charming, and deadly. His demeanor easily goes from pleasant to intimidating, making him a formidable and terrifying villain. Season 2 is arguably Fargo's best, but while the attention often goes to other characters, it's Mike who might be the standout. Woodbine crafts a memorable, menacing role that feels like a classic Coen brothers creation.
4 Sister Mary Eunice — 'American Horror Story: Asylum' Ryan Murphy's American Horror Story is still going strong. However, the franchise arguably peaked with its second season, American Horror Story: Asylum, a weird mix of sci-fi and religious horror. Asylum has some of AHS' most memorable characters, including Lily Rabe's Sister Mary Eunice, the season's de-facto antagonist.
2 Leone Busker/The Shadow King — 'Legion' Emmy-nominee and black-comedy genius Aubrey Plaza might be best known for her performances in shows like Parks and Recreation and The White Lotus. However, the actress is as brilliant in another, less acclaimed show, FX's Legion, starring Dan Stevens as the titular Marvel mutant.
