Absolutely PennyWorth
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.
That was unexpected
Totally beyond any expectation. What started as a somewhat desperate search for something watchable on a Friday night ended up being a three-day binge. Lucid, intelligent, goofy, enlightened, tense, unpredictable, relaxed, touching, brave, unapologetic...
And then there's the cast, which is just incredible. Jack Bannon is brilliant as the main character, but Ben Aldridge, Ema Paetz or, in fact, anyone from the cast, are not far away either.
Music, from the opening theme to the choice of background tracks ... pure delight
A completely unexpected treat that will hopefully last at least another 3-4 seasons.

Really Enjoyed This!
Pennyworth is a pretty cool little show that's absolutely worth watching. I wasn't really sure what to expect since it's based off Alfred Pennyworth (Batman's Butler) who's a former British SAS officer who forms a security company in 1969's London. It also takes place in a London war that never happened. It may take a few episodes to really get into it but if you can stick with through those first few episodes you'll find yourself really enjoying the show. I know some people didn't like it be it was too violent and had too much swearing but this is a show for adults. The cast is made of up of mostly unknown actors but they all do such a great job that you'll become attached to their characters before you know it. I was a fan of both seasons and can't wait for more! It's now moving to HBO Max for further seasons.
So much better than Batwoman
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.

Well written and directed
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.
