Max W Setting aside the stellar performances and the show’s steady pacing, what’s most satisfying about The Penguin is how it never lets you forget this is a story about a villain, not an antihero. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review Karen F Such good acting! Not a comic fan at all but this show is fantastic Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review AJ W There is a new king in Gotham and his name is Oswald Cobblepot or should I say The Penguin. But that’s not how this story starts. So let’s go back to the beginning, technically the end of The Batman Movie. Gotham is in shambles after the devastating flood that could have destroyed the whole city. Batman is nowhere to be found and the criminal underworld is in flux because of Carmine Falcone’s death. The head honcho of head honchos is gone so the streets are in limbo waiting for someone to make a move. Some people see the lay of the land only as problems to be solved but those with ambition see opportunity. That crossroad is where we find the story’s main character, The Penguin.

Characters are well developed and extremely enjoyable and as a result the show holds its own. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/25/25 Full Review Aurelie K An incredible performance by Colin Farrell who makes you feel like you are watching a totally different person (kudos to the make-up and prosthetics artists !). The entire cast is excellent (Cristin Milioti and Rhenzy Feliz are probably my favorites), Gotham City’s criminal underground ambiance is flawless, and the storyline and writing are good, which is hard to find these days. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/18/25 Full Review Chris F The first few episodes are a little repetitive with Oz making promises that people continue to believe. Eventually, the series does a fantastic job of taking Cobb from a gangster to a legitimate supervillain in the Arkham Universe. I would love to see this type of treatment for other villains in the universe. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/04/25 Full Review Read all reviews
