The next chapter in The Batman saga, this crime drama follows Oz Cobb’s quest for power and control in Gotham City.

Critics Consensus

Depicting Gotham through bone-breaking punches rather than popping onomatopoeia, The Penguin is a grounded crime saga given gravitas by Colin Farrell and a scene-stealing Cristin Milioti.

Robert Lloyd

Los Angeles Times

With its class consciousness and sentimental streak, it stands on the shoulders of Depression-era films like “Scarface,” “Little Caesar” and “The Public Enemy”.

Vanity Fair

If The Penguin had to act tightly in service of a larger narrative, I doubt it would have as much snap and personality as it does. Which may be the Penguin’s dream realized: from chaos comes order.

Observer

The Dark Knight is totally absent from The Penguin, and, honestly he isn’t missed for a second. The Penguin is a riveting, stylish, and fun-as-hell gangster drama that makes use of both film and comics source material, but never feels beholden to it.

We Got This Covered

A gritty, character-driven mob tale that stands on its own, 'The Penguin' expands Matt Reeves' Gotham City with stellar performances and a thoughtful exploration of social inequality as fuel for criminality.

Rated: 5/5

... The series sometimes manages to shed its references to find its own narrative and visual dynamics. However - of course - the Batman franchise's darkness, solemnity, and sordidness are sustained. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3.5/5

It feels like we've been treated to a bait and switch: Oz and Farrell are good fun and all, but Sofia is the heart of The Penguin — and the reason I kept tuning back in.

Absolutely fantastic first episode, must-see if you enjoyed the Batman. Hopefully we get to see more villains explored like this. It helps that he’s an actual villain (I’m looking at you, Sony).

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
