Pennyworth

The characters' lines are well written and their silent responses effective in pulling me into the story. Nudity, and graphic violence are somewhat following GoT so there there are people I wouldn't recommend this to, but those depictions are effective in portraying this dystopian alternate England in the grey, dark, world parallel to Batman's Gotham City in the US.

Excellent It is packed with Drama, Espionage, Romance, Action and Comedy. I always admire this kind of work and it's just Brilliant. Excellent Cast. Everyone is giving their best work. Must Watch Series.

The origin story of Alfred Pennyworth, a former soldier living in London and how he came to work for Thomas Wayne, Batman's father.

Pennyworth, is way better than it should be. It's will filmed, the locations, backdrop effects and cinematography are first rate. Set in an alternative 1960s London as Alfie-like Alfred, tries his luck with the women and sets up a new protection business. The pilot is fast paced and similar to the recent Joker movie it's interesting enough to stand alone even if it didn't have any DC connections (which it does).

Echoing a slew of 60 TV shows, The Man from UNCLE, The Saint to name a few, mixed with Michael Caine's back catalogue there's plenty of fun to be had.

The action, fights, shootouts and flashbacks to WWII are well executed. It's surprisingly hard hitting with lots of f-bombs, violence and drama.

A surprisingly great piece of period entertainment.

I enjoyed Pennyworth a lot more than I expected I would. A show based off Batman's butler didn't really seem that exciting but I couldn't have been more wrong. This isn't Alfred the butler, this is Alfred the soldier/spy. The cast all do a great job, especially Jack Bannon who plays Alfred. He just makes Alfred so damn likable. It has the look and feel of a good 60's spy series. Everything from the cinematography to the wardrobe. They are now on season 3 and each season has been just as entertaining as the others. I'm glad HBO Max picked this up so it's available to a larger audience because this show deserves it.

With a darkish but not gothic London in the 60's backdrop this story had me hooked almost from the beginning. The DC tv shows just keep getting better.
