The Penguin

I'm a bit surprised to not see a thread for this show.  Who else watched it?  It was fantastic!

Me! I agree, it was surprisingly very good. Colin Farrell was great and also the actress playing Sofia.

I watched it as well, I was tempted to start a thread but never did.  Solid acting and the story was great and twisted as it should be.  This show needs to win all the emmys.   Only question now is if they'll do a 2nd season but we'll have to wait till after the Batman 2 to see where the larger narrative goes.

Personally if they don't do a s2, i'd be fine with it as well.   I'd also like them to do another limited series with another villain that will then play a part in moving the story forward for the 3rd movie.

Loved the series. Love how they stayed away from any superhero nonsense and kept it grounded. The acting was strong, the story was strong, and it allows the next movie a time-jump without having to explain things.

Such a great series. I don't really have a critique for it, everything was superb!

Wish it was more than 8 episodes though!

Agreed - every episode was heavyweight too, no filler!

Only downside here is that a season 2 will have to wait quite a while since Batman 2 has been pushed back yet again.
