Featured reviews
My intrigue for 'The Penguin' was based on my love for its preceding counterpart: 'The Batman'. Prior to delving into this show, I admittedly had very high expectations. These expectations built up inside of me, due to my love for the world Matt Reeves built and me thus craving more. After seeing Episode 8 ´A Great or Little Thing´, I can only give the Directors, Showrunners and the Cast a private standing ovation, accompanied by a round of applause. This finale is everything I, as a fan of this universe, wished for and perhaps needed from this miniseries. The way Oz´s rise to Power is portrayed, through his digusting and immoral ability to lie, deceive and manipulate his enemy's and the people in his circle, gives us one of the best portrayal´s of any live-action comic book villain, ever. If you need these reviews as convincing, please give this show a chance, I highly doubt you will be left feeling unsatisfied.
Just because you are the main character, it doesn't mean you are a good person, you are just the hero of your own story!
This finale sure as hell reminded us who Ozwald truely is, and that the penguin sure is a manace to be feared!
I had high Hopes for the finale, do to have great the rest of the season has been, and I was so glad that it delivered on all front, with great writing, acting and a burning need to see how things will go from here!
This show represents how you do a Comic Book show about an antagonist, and proof that it can be done justice!
Colin Farrel absolutely killed it as this character, and this show might be one of the best shows that have come out this year!

I have been watching the show since day one and today it's over, and this has been one of the craziest rides. Who would have that a Batman universe show can be so peak without the Batman but here we are. The episode gave us all. This show is about Oz and how he really is, and now we know on an even deeper level. Making shows with this depth and realism is kind of a rarity these days but show is different. This show just elevated the universe on a whole another level. The acting of Colin Farrell is just greatness. He has cemented his legacy and will be remembered forever. The work heath ledger did for the Joker, the same is done by him. Cristin Miloti was amazing and everyone did their job with full efforts. The direction and attention to details has been flawless. And that's how we got this masterpiece of a series. Doesn't matter if you have watched the Batman or not, watch this. This is something that will be remembered for the ages.
Colin you magnicifent b***d! I can not tell how hard he carried the show but KUDOS to writers&directors not to make villians so weak.
I can not describe how this will help raising the bar for next things to watch. We were so bored of apologyptic villians who are keep saying ''sorry'' and crying like a teenager girl non stop or going Gen-Z Harley Quinn mode where everything and everywhere is just rainbows and unicorns.. I really dont have enough English to describe how greateful im for this show.
It made me like The Batman now which was a mediocre at best movie. Im looking forward to whatever DC puts on next.
And this is the END of the Marvel superhero nonsense which i agree with famous director's quote ''They are not actual movies.''

Following the show from day 1, I had very high expectations from the finale and it does delivers on all the front. The writing, direction, twists, character arches, acting are all exemplary. Oz Cobb, Sofia, Francis & Victor all these have one thing in common that they won something what they yearned for throughout the show but lost everything. And the great thing about the show is that they didn't have to represent it with dialogues and rather with shear acting prowess and gigantic writing skills. I am just in the awe for this whole series. It's the quality that you see once in a decade. Sony serving all the Spider-Man villains crap to us, should take home tuitions from the writers on how to make a movie/show about a comic antagonist.

- TriviaSeveral posters and graffiti can be seen on the side of the street while Vic tries to convince the gangs to help. This notably includes a banner for the Gotham Renewal Corporation, the major Gotham fund that was used by Carmine Falcone and corrupt city officials before The Riddler exposed the truth as seen in 2022's The Batman. To that end, Riddler's question marks can also be seen on the walls amid old campaign posters for Don Mitchell Jr. Posters protesting against the police are featured as well with the slogan, "Protect and Abuse?", confirming the corrupt nature of the GCPD, and that good officers like Jim Gordon are currently the exception, rather than the rule.
- GoofsSpirits such as whiskey or vodka do not ignite if they come into contact with lit cigarettes as shown. They need to be heated to about 70º C first to become easily flammable.
