The Penguin Series Review

This is my non spoiler review for the HBO Max limited series The Penguin! 🎥 The Penguin Limited Series Review: A Spinoff That Exceeds Expectations! Welcome back, Gotham fans! In this video, I dive into my review of the highly anticipated limited series The Penguin, a thrilling spinoff from The Batman. After the phenomenal success of Matt Reeves' The Batman (2022), this series takes us on a deeper journey into the criminal underworld of Gotham, focusing on Oswald "Oz" Cobblepot, brilliantly portrayed by Colin Farrell. Set just one week after the events of The Batman, The Penguin explores the rise of Oz Cobblepot as he claws his way to the top of Gotham’s criminal hierarchy. Colin Farrell’s portrayal of the disfigured former lieutenant of Carmine Falcone is nothing short of mesmerizing, showcasing a character that is as complex as he is menacing. Farrell promises to delve into the strength, awkwardness, and raw villainy of Oz while also revealing the “heartbroken man” beneath the surface. Cristin Milioti joins the cast as Sofia Falcone, Carmine’s psychopathic daughter who brings her own brand of chaos to Gotham's streets. And Rhenzy Feliz adds another layer to the story as Victor Aguilar, a teenager whose friendship with Oz adds an intriguing dynamic to the series. This review is a deep dive into why The Penguin is a perfect follow-up to The Batman and how it stands out as an incredible piece of television. I break down what makes this series exceptional, from its gripping storytelling to its stunning performances, all without giving away any spoilers.
