The Penguin Is What PEAK Television Can Be

[@kadeemtaylor5964]

I think Oswald killed Victor because he noticed him gaining confidence in himself. The thought that one day he might want to overthrow him as he did his former bosses terrified Oz. He had to get Victor while is guard was down.

I thought the same, but it was weird because as soon as he mentioned being his family he got disgusted in away. So I think it was tgat and the fact that the only real family he had (his mom) told him to his face that she hated him all his life. And that’s another reason why I think he killed vic, was because family is your top weakness and from that point on he doesn’t want a weakness anymore.

Honestly I loved the whole aspect of them not mentioning Batman because in comics penguin isn’t really Batman’s main threat and Oz has always been a underground threat, so really focusing on Oz and his story was a lot better than making the main plot point of the show about “how do we run Gotham without Batman stopping us”. And another thing, is it weird I’ve seen The Batman 28 times?! Thank you guys for being inspirational and helping me through my love for cinema, you guys are PHENOMENAL!

The Penguin is a great take on the character showing a dark side of the character that we really haven’t seen before. Os willing to do whatever needs to be done to get what he wants. From the childhood flashback and his rise to power the character is just evil to the core. Good point on the mommy issues. I liked how they showed at the end Eve dressed up as a young Francis dancing and Os telling her to compliment him. Do you think that’s something new or always part of the reason he was going to see her ( ala role playing as Francis in a twisted fantasy of being infatuated with his mom?)

Anthony’s Ah-Ha moment on Burgess Meredith is great!

Omg, finally a Penguin review! Now I know what I'm watching tonight. Very random but have you guys ever reviewed Upgrade or To Live and Die in L.A?

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

Not yet but great films!

This Batman spinoff series is an absolute masterpiece

Has HBO returned to form?! They've always been the crown jewel for exceptional tv. Starting the series tonight.

@@damianstarks3338 they screwed over house of the dragon. Was already having writing issues because of Sara Hess, let alone suddenly having the budget cut. The season had too much standing around having the same conversations and had an incredibly underwhelming finale without the real climax.

Haha! Why is Robin Lord Taylor’s portrayal of Oz Cobblepot in Gotham not given any respect?🤔😂

Man I gotta ask if you guys would ever do an episode on Loki? That show is top tier television and the best thing marvel has done since endgame

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

Maybe! We never finished it

[@DiamondWoodStudios]

@ brooooooo you guys gotta finish it I promise it’s worth it

[@DickieHolmes]

The Sopranos and The Penguin are riffing on the Oedipus complex plot as an homage to the 1949 gangster masterpiece “White Heat” with James Cagney. “Made it, Ma… top of the world!”

[@linkingwithnaz1295]

It's so obvious that the penguin character is heavily modeled on Tony sopranos

[@AnthonyK93]

IGN had the fucking audacity to give this a 5/20 rating, so I unsubscribed from them

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

Haven't listened to IGN for years, trash

[@ClemonStone]

And it’s the fact they said Agatha was way better 😐😐

[@AnthonyK93]

@@ClemonStone I enjoyed both shows, I was pleasantly surprised by Agatha tbh. Having said that, The Penguin was on another level entirely. It had no business being as good as it was 😂

Same here

[@worstcase0010]

Its kinda sad that the penguin is more interesting than the batman I hope they do more with Robert Pattinson's batman

[@damianstarks3338]

You read my mind here

[@BirdsElopeWithTheSun09]

The villain is often more interesting than the hero.

[@marco_lonestarr]

I enjoyed this show. Alot of good suspense. They made me hate Oz, which makes him a good villain. But if I had to say anything negative, it would be how easy he got out of situations with 🔫 literally on him. And them showing Sophia burned her house down with triumph, then take everything away in the same episode. Imo should have been separate. But overall, it's a great show.

[@UMS-dj3sx]

Mad Men, Six Feet Under, M.A.S.H. ,The Wire, The Sopranos, Deadwood, Breaking Bad, Band of Brothers, Chernobyl,... that's what PEAK television IS! The Penguin is a good limited series but doesn't even remotely come close to any these tv shows. Let's not pretend like this show was revolutionary or did something new. Everything has been done better in other shows like The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire or Peaky Blinders.

[@bentucker2301]

Absolutely freaking amazing series. Loved the character depth, writing and performances from Colin and Cristin. They really made you like a monster. Whoa whoa wait a second who's this German guy Alf weeder shine? Unsubscribed.
