10 Best Movies & TV Shows Starring Kaley Cuoco

3. Harley Quinn (2019-Present)

The Flight Attendant
DC Universe

An absolute riot of a show, Harley Quinn is one of the most imaginative and consistently entertaining DC offerings that there is. And Cuoco, with her energetic and at times moving take on the title character, is right at the centre of the show's success.

Sick of being The Joker's number two, Quinn dramatically dumps the Clown Prince of Crime and sets up her own supervillain group... with mixed results. During her tenure as a crime boss, Quinn has to deal with her vengeful ex, Gotham's near-destruction, and her attraction to best friend and confidant Poison Ivy.

Quinn is a role that simultaneously moves the character away from its tried, tested and familiar territory, while also allowing Cuoco to almost abandon the kind of roles that have helped her make a name for herself. Harley Quinn is run at an electric pace, with humour, bloody action and some welcome nuance that help it to stand out from the plethora of other comic book offerings.

Cuoco's performance is so sensational it is like she has been playing the role all of her life. The supporting cast all get their moments to shine, but she is the heart and soul of Harley Quinn.
