The Penguin

"Alright, I’m doing it; I’m jumping on THE PENGUIN train already! YES, after just one episode… This might be the BEST series I’ve watched in a VERY long time!! It feels like perfection — Colin Farrell’s transformation into The Penguin is extraordinary, the gritty tone of Gotham is spot on, the set design is incredible, and ALL of the performances are top-tier! I cannot wait for more! As @djcount put it, the only bad thing was… it ended. ▪️Do you need any backstory or background info to watch this? I say NO, not at all. It draws you in QUICKLY — and I’m not a huge superhero/DC Universe watcher, but this is already FANTASTIC!! 🐧 ⭐️5/5⭐️"

"Omg I’m blown away……after only one episode this is too damn good."

"So perfect. A perfect mix of wins and loses between the two main factions. Easy to root for the “bad guys” by humanizing them but then remind us why they are villains. Looking forward to The Batman 2. I’m loving this direction they’re going in. "

"Even outside of the superhero lore, by itself, The Penguin makes for an incredible mobster series with some A+ acting. Off the bat it's easy to tell that this will be one of those highly anticipated series- with each release of a new season. "

"I had a feeling it's gonna be good before I even watched, if you like crime dramas than this is a must watch. Acting was good and Collin Farrell did a phenomenal performance as The Penguin, really worth your time, and what a season finale ending."

"Colin Ferrel definitely dissapears in this role. His is/always was a great actor. It kinda feels like The Sopranos a bit, although that might just be the first episode. Still too early to tell if the rest of the show will be great, but we shall see!"

"Colin Farrell disappears in this role, if one can recall his performance in The Batman. I think this very well may be the series, I am anticipating the most after watching the recent preview. Buckle up, Colin ❤️ (a criminally underrated actor) it’s time most will witness what you are capable of. As depicted in the role it’s time to thug up, clear out the noise and stake your claim. #julietsfavorites #shaluspicks #shalusfavorites "

"So far, Im in total awe with Ferrell. Cant wait to have the rest of this awesomeness."

"I am not believing this is Colin Farrell! He is amazing…but wow isn’t that kind of like getting Brad Pitt to play The Grinch or something?"

"This show was so far past my expectations, absolutely brilliant!! Colin Farrell was amazing, the whole cast was amazing!! The storytelling was inch perfect! Can't wait to see what's next."
