Batman: The Penguin

Batman: The Penguin | John Ostrander, Bill Finger, Doug Moench, Alan Grant

Did anyone else watch the Penguin on HBO? As much as I'm ready for a more light-hearted take on the Dark Knight, Matt Reeves' Batman universe is very compelling. The Penguin had an amazing cast, and they told a great mob story set in Gotham. I'm excited to see how the story continues.

TieDyeDude BTW, I just love Colin Farrell's whole thing in this moment. There are beautiful interviews he's done about his son, he is open about his struggles with addiction and mental health, and he said he watched Pixar movies to get out of the dark headspace from this show. And he is always mesmerizing to watch on screen. 1mo

StellaDz Sadly haven‘t watched the show, but Farrell truly stole the show in the movie. An amazing rendition of the Penguin! 1mo

Jess I stopped after two episodes because I didn‘t want to be in that head space but will go back to it because the acting was fantastic. Watching Rivals on Hulu and it is more my speed right now (rich people behaving badly with comedy and David Tennent ā¯¤ļø¸). 1mo

Amiable I watched the entire series! I‘m not a comics reader/viewer so I had no idea about any of the backstories. I was just engrossed in Colin Farrell‘s and Cristin Milioti‘s incredible performances. They each deserve an Emmy! (edited) 1mo

Liatrek Loved it! Sofia was an amazing character and I loved that they let the Penguin be 100% villain. The show deserves so many awards š¸†š¸† 1mo

Liatrek @Amiable YES!!! 1mo

JacqMac It was good! The actors are all fantastic. 1mo

TieDyeDude @Jess Totally understandable. It was a very dark show about a master manipulator gaslighting everyone until he reaches the height of power *sigh* I was able to turn off that part of my brain though because it was Batman-adjacent š‚ I hadn't heard of Rivals; can't go wrong with Tennent! 1mo

TieDyeDude @stellaDz I hope you get the chance to check it out. Farrell is amazing, as is the rest of the cast 1mo

TieDyeDude @Amiable They did some fun things with the character. I think the mother-relationship is mostly unique to the show
@Liatrek @Jacqmac I've been following Milioti since she opened the Broadway show Once. I'm so glad she was cast in this and crushed it! Honestly, everyone on screen crushed it 1mo

Serotonin My brother highly recommended me to watch this show. Alas, I no longer have access to Max š˛ 1mo
