Inside Man

The Penguin continues with a fantastic mix of storytelling and visual appeal that keeps viewers hooked. The writing is sharp, pulling us into a dark world where every character is interesting and complex. Colin Farrell's portrayal of Oz is captivating, showing off the cleverness and charm of this iconic villain.

Episode 2 deepens the intrigue, with strong dialogue and plot that keep you hooked. The pacing is excellent, allowing moments of tension to build while showcasing the stunning set designs that brings us further into Oswald's world. The supporting cast also brings depth, making every scene engaging.

Cant for the next episode!

It was very apparent even after just watching this series pilot that Collin Farrell has unlimited range and completely leaned into this character submering himself an a insanely level of mastery.

His eyes only display a very complex and difficult thing to pull off showing the type of menace Oz is but is able to tip toe the fine line between a maniac and a survivor with a soft side. I have to watch each episode twice finding that I can't help but be incredibly captivated by Collins performance. Physically---all around, only two episodes in, I'm very confident in saying he has created arguably one of the best villians. He makes this world feel so real and grounded. Engaging.

It's very evident that this series will continue to grow in progress and get better and better finally providing us with another HBO original dramatic banger we haven't seen in many years. This is single handley the best kind of rendition inside a world of a super hero franchise because despite its direct correlation with The Batman, it feels on par with a dark, gritty, mob show. I hope this series shows writers and directors how perfect it can be----however I do not think it would have nearly the same effect nor impact without Collin Farrell.

After watching the first two episodes, you will no doubt be convinced that any and all awards will be coming Collins way. You can't just create a character like Oz or the Penguin with just cosmetics and a fat suit. Oz displays his thoughts and his inner thoughts of trying to navigate this world by his ability to survive only with his eyes. His physical emmetgence into this character is captured in such a brilliant way just by the way he walks.

As for show itself, it's extremely watchable edited perfectly to provide constant riveting scenes to keep your attention.

The writing isn't rushed at all telling me the showrunners know exactly what they're doing and where they're taking us. The pacing is excellent as each episode continues building this shows underworld along with taking its time to flesh out character development.

Bravo to the whole team involved! But let it be known that this IS Collin Farrells vehicle and we're all along for the ride!

The Penguin once again delivers top notch quality entertainment with its rich and gripping story and complex characters!

Just like in the first episode, you can tell how everything is made with a certain passion for exploring one of the lesser known Batman villains, and turning him into, perhaps one of the best written villains!

Colin Farrel continues to shine, mastergully capturing The Penguin and Oswald personality!

I was hooked the entire time! It never feels too predictable and clichee, with all these twists and turns that will leave you excited and guessing at whats gonna happen next!

The side characters are absolutely killing it as well! Everyone is giving their all!

People have already done comparisons to The Sopranos, and while both shows are different, this one has the potential to reach the same level of quality, if it only gets better from here!

This series is a real godsend for all fans of high-quality cinema! From the very first minutes, he immerses himself in his unique world, capturing with an intriguing plot and an unsurpassed atmosphere. Each episode is a small masterpiece filled with deep emotions and carefully thought-out details

The cast was chosen just perfectly: each actor put his soul into his role, creating vivid and memorable images. I want to support the heroes in their struggle, rejoice in their victories and empathize with their losses. Acting at the highest level is not just roles, but live characters that are easy to identify with

Separately, it is worth noting the work of the screenwriters. Their skill is evident in every line of the dialogues, which sound natural and organic. The story unfolds smoothly and unpredictably, forcing the viewer to constantly wonder what will happen next. Plot twists deliver unexpected and exciting blows, keeping the interest throughout the series

I'm waiting for the next episode 🙏💯

OK, I am easy to please. Give me a good writing, good actors, well made sets and sprinkle it with little action and boy, Penguin episodes 1 and 2 delivered on all those fronts.

The show so far has rich dialogues, great story and is very well acted. I was on the edge of my seat this whole episode. Perfect start and perfect ending.

The first episode was equally gripping. The tone was consistent, as it is dark, gritty and layered.

If this is an indication of how it will be for the rest of the season, then we may have Penguin as one of the top great shows In a decade!

Can't wait on what's to come.
