[TV] The Penguin

Sorry, didn't see a thread about this on here, so mods feel free to merge.

I binged the (8) episodes over the last few days. One of the best series I've ever watched. Colin Farrell under a Katie Price-amount of plastic proths is incredible, but there's SO much more to it than that. The entire episode covering Sophie Falcone's years of purgatory inside Arkham is worth watching the series alone for. Its so rich in violence, drama and phenomenal dialogue, its almost Tarantino-esque.

Dark, violent, grim and with stuff you just do not see coming. Then, that final scene and the end panning frame when it closes....WOW. Just epic television.

TV at its very best.

Well, I watched it on Sky Atlantic. But its probably floating around elsewhere.

Batman does not appear at all, its more of an origin. Until...

Yeah, Batman himself to me has always been the least interesting aspect of, well, Batman.

You'll be chewing your fist at Penguin, and what he does in his early life and then later. How he becomes what he is. Pure evil.

Its a sensational series.

Isn’t he called Oswald Cobblepot in the comics? I hope they renamed him or it might be hard to take a gritty origin tale seriously
