Reviews (2) of The Penguin
Fast moving and as ruthless as its protagonist. - The Penguin review by LW
I wasn't overly fond of The Batman but I was intrigued by an unrecognisable Colin Farrell as The Penguin. This spin off series serves as an origins tale that retreads the familiar fall of Gotham's old underworld and the rise of its more manic and colourful villains. The Penguin works as a crime drama because Farrell delivers a horribly plausible sociopath. His Penguin is a character you root for despite his being a manipulative, self serving killer who has no redeeming features, but is excellent at faking them, conning the audience as well as his victims. The episodes are perfectly paced and lurch from cliffhanger to cliffhanger with breathless pace. Like the other antagonists you are drawn along with the momentum of Farrell's scheming Oz Cobb as he wheels, deals and betrays his way to the top of Gotham. The series even manages to end with a cruel and downbeat finish that reminds us what the consequences of trusting in monsters can be. There are also a few hints at future developments in this iteration of the DC franchise.

Oscar - Emmy worthy performance - The Penguin review by GJ
One thought when watching this – How did Colin Farrell NOT win the Emmy ... Admittedly I've not seen Stephen Graham's Innocence (which won ), but on a scale of 1 to 10, Graham's performance in that will have to be an 11 to win out.
From what ive seen so far , The Penguin is an amazing production – can the rest of the series maintain this quality? Would a season 2 ever reach this level? The writing , the direction and the acting are top-notch, and to bring well-established fictional characters to a new life is an amazing feat. I must admit , I glazed over these characters in The Batman movie and if they continue in this streaming series , Then I hope the Penguin's world stays far away from the disjointed, somewhat clichéd world of the main DC Universe.
