The Penguin

Is anyone watching this on HBO? I am surprised at how much I liked it. I think the finale is on tonight.

I've watched a bit but falling behind a few episodes.
Pretty good so far.
I really liked the penguin from Gotham, but this ones growing on me.

It's on my list. A friend recommended it a few weeks ago and said it was good.

I watched the first couple and it was OK.
I need to watch the rest.
I was under the impression that there were 20 episodes according to Amazon - which seemed odd to me - most series are 6-10 episodes these days.

(EDIT: Now it says 41 Episodes so I know that is wrong)

I was SO excited when this was announced and counted the days til it premiered. I watched the first episode and was so disappointed. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but a knock off of The Sopranos wasn’t it. I haven’t bothered watching any other episodes.

Very Tony sopranoish performance. If they ever made the movie he should ply him. Especially his voice.

Yeah - It is a bit sopranos I guess - no doubt his look adds to that - but that is the general storyline as I know it - at least from the Gotham TV series

I’m also surprised at how much I like it. It’s great writing and Colin Farrell’s transformation is amazing. I’m wondering if this will lead into other characters and storyline of Batman.

Totally agree, that’s his background. I think it was mostly that I was expecting different.
