Critics Consensus

Depicting Gotham through bone-breaking punches rather than popping onomatopoeia, The Penguin is a grounded crime saga given gravitas by Colin Farrell and a scene-stealing Cristin Milioti.

It's a fully realized story all on its own, which is what every TV show should be, spinoff or not.

Rated: 3/4

The Nightly (AU)

Craig Zobel has a strong grasp of The Penguin’s tone, keeping it shadowy but not grim where the characters’ psychic wounds drive all their choices and the action.

New York Times

"The Penguin” feels mechanical and recycled, constructed rather than imagined. Mob-movie clichés about honor and service are recited in lifeless dialogue and then recited again; the action often undercuts them but not in any witty or exciting way.

With its noir-inspired aesthetic and sharp storytelling, The Penguin is a darkly compelling addition to the DC Universe.

There’s so much nuance to Colin Farrell’s character that it’s unsurprisingly touted as one of the best on-screen portrayals from Batman Rogues Gallery.

Outstanding performances and an epic, brutal storyline make the limited series a crime thriller of the highest caliber and a masterpiece within the genre.

The Penguin is a fantastic series set in the new Batman universe, which I’m not particularly fond of. While the story is well-crafted, it’s Colin Farrell and the phenomenal Cristin Milioti who make the show truly captivating. One of the best of the year.

I actually wasn’t a huge fan until the end of the season. I thought it all came together beautifully. I loved the penguins backstory with his mother.

It was a good show but at times it just felt like Oz / Penguin had too much plot armor to be believable. Great acting, action and sometimes some over the top violence as well.

There is a lot to admire here, Milioti is wonderful, but Farrell takes you on an unforgetable trip into the deepest darkness of a psychopathic mind.
