The Queen of the Villains is a colorful five-part scripted drama that captures the rise of women's pro wrestling in Japan during the 1980s.
As Kaoru transforms into Dump Matsumoto, the narrative explores the blurred lines between her real life struggles and the theatricality of wrestling amid her abusive background.
The show is highly stylized, reminiscent of a superhero origin tale, showcasing a world where a woman's physicality is embraced, yet the emotional toll is never far behind.
In a story that mixes camaraderie and chaos, the series humorously highlights the problematic nature of wrestling, where friendships can quickly turn hostile.
