    Another Masterpiece

    The tiktok brained people calling this episode slow need to get their head purged and enjoy the masterpiece this show is. This episode alone could have been split into 3 episodes if they really wanted to push it, its non-stop developments one after the other. Man the actors are killing their roles so far. Yes, the writers decide to speed things up by skipping some scenes between some character meetings but people complain its too slow if they do include stuff like that. The overall premise of the show, character performances, story, all make it super easy to ignore the minor plot holes in writing. Solid episode yet again, have high hopes for the next 3!

    Penguin: Episode 5 - Bravo, Maestro!

    This series is a real masterpiece! The fifth episode of "Penguin" proves that this is not just a series about a villain - it is a drama about becoming, about the struggle for power, about how flowers can grow even from the darkest depths... even with spikes.

    Colin Farrell is a genius. He conveys the whole gamut of Oz Cobb's emotions, from anger to despair, from manipulating people to true love.

    The plot is addictive from the first minutes and does not let go until the very end. Intrigues, betrayals, insidious plans - all this is woven into one fascinating tangle that holds the viewer's attention.

    The visual part of the series is just amazing. The atmosphere of Gotham, gloomy and hopeless, is perfectly conveyed. The camera captures every nuance, every look, every gesture.

    Music is a great addition to the overall atmosphere. She creates a unique drama, giving depth to each scene.

    Overall, the 5th episode of "Penguin" is a masterpiece!

    The best episode so far

    This show just keeps on topping itself. It's unbelievably well written, well shot and overall an absolute blast to watch. This episode, however, just raised the ante. I audibly gasped and cheered at many scenes in this one. You know that weird feeling when you're so excited for what happens on screen that you almost feel butterflies in your stomach? It doesn't happen often for me. Maybe once every 2 years if I had to keep a tally. So this is a special one.

    The setup for the next episode is so perfect also!! It's just a shame that we have to wait a whole week for the next one! It's such a binge-worthy show, give us what we want HBO!!!

    Anyways, if you aren't watching it yet, get on it. Right now. And if you are... It's amazing, right?!?!?

    Best episode so far

    Damn bro, this episode was so good. The buildup from the first episode has been amazing; it starts off well-paced, and from there, it just keeps getting better and better. Every scene feels like it's leading up to something bigger, and the characters are becoming more interesting as the story goes on. The pacing has been perfect so far-nothing feels too fast or too slow, and I'm really excited to see what happens next. I just hope they don't rush the last episodes because the way they've told the story so far is what makes it so good. If they keep it up, this is definitely going to be the best show of 2024. I can't wait to see how it ends.

    Another episode that sucks you in!

    This show just keep amazing me every week! The storytelling and charactrrs keeps growing and developing in a way that really makes me more and more excited for what is to come!

    Colin Farrel keeps shining as The penguin, aka Oswald! They have managed to add so much depth to his character, that makes him someone you can understand and root for!

    Sofia is keeps stealing the show and Christin has captured this character to perfection, almost outshing Colin Farrel!

    The events in this episode left me shocked and excited! So much happened, and I am glad we still got 3 more episodes to go!

    I hope the quality continues, cause this show might be the best of what 2024 has offered!

      Oz Cobb: I ever tell you about Rex Calabrese?

      Victor Aguilar: Uh, no.

      Oz Cobb: He ran my neighborhood when I was a kid. Had this, uh, gold Cadillac with white leather seats. Beautiful. When it rolled down your street, I mean, it felt like your block was blessed. Rex's ride, it wasn't just a car, it was a fuckin' chariot. Made a kid with a bum leg feel like even he could be king.
