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 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?!?!?
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!

- Quotes
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.
