The Penguin fans rave Colin Farrell’s HBO show is already ‘the best series of the year’ and draw comparisons to a global fan-favorite series
As a dedicated fan with a deep-rooted passion for both Batman and The Sopranos, I must say that HBO’s The Penguin has instantly become one of my favorite shows this year. With its gripping narrative, masterful acting, and an intricate web of organized crime, it seamlessly blends the dark allure of Gotham with the raw, authentic charm of New Jersey (or so I imagine Gotham would be if it were in New Jersey).
On Thursday night, HBO premiered the eagerly awaited show titled “The Penguin,” and viewers have been showering it with positive reviews since then.
In the upcoming narrative, Colin Farrell resumes his portrayal of the main character, known also by the alias Oswald ‘Oz’ Cobb, who was featured in the 2022 movie titled The Batman.
The upcoming series unfolds a week following the movie’s events, delving into how Oz intends to exploit the demise of Carmine Falcone as portrayed in the film.
Viewers were swift to laud the 70-minute episode on social platforms, even going so far as to label it among the top series of the year.
The program has been likened to a legendary HBO series that numerous people believe to be among the best TV shows ever made.
As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but marvel at Oz’s bold moves in the dark realm of Gotham’s underworld. He’s daringly navigating treacherous paths, striving to seize control where power once reigned.
The opening scenes of the show so Oz getting confronted by the heir to the Falcone crime family, Alberto Falcone (Michael Zegan).
Throughout the scene, it appears as though he is humbly pleading to the unpredictable Alberto, but when pushed beyond his limits, he acts swiftly and ends Alberto’s life, thereby propelling the storyline of Oz forward.
As a lifestyle connoisseur, I can’t help but draw parallels between the captivating drama unfolding on our screens and the legendary mafia saga, “The Sopranos,” that HBO once graced us with. Both narratives delve deep into the complexities of organized crime, making them more than just shows – they are immersive experiences into a world shrouded in mystery and intrigue.
User @ohhieveryday expressed that The Penguin had a strong beginning, likening its style to The Sopranos while finding it amusing as well. They didn’t anticipate the unexpected Dolly Parton reference.
