Great show! This is a refreshing fantastic tv show that sets itself apart from the rest of the drivel being put out elsewhere. Easily best show on tv right now.
The Penguin is the BEST Pilot I've seen all year. Phenomenal hour of television.
The Penguin is a must-watch, as it explores the intricacies of Gotham's underbelly through Oz Cobb's ambition for power. Cristin Milioti's performance is worth noting, though it is Colin Farrell who delivers a transformative performance that makes him nearly unrecognizable.
The first season of «The Penguin» will include eight episodes. The finale is scheduled for November 10.
