Season 1 Review:
“The Penguin” exerts an unusually confident grip. It’s a velvety, acidic reminder of how so many underworld tropes can be revived, and made exciting, with the right collaborators working as one, and the right actors taking the job seriously without treating it like holy writ or solemnity bordering on bloody sanctimony.

Season 1 Review:
“The Penguin” doesn’t overplay its hand enough to go broke, mind you, but it does undercut itself slightly with just a few too many meandering moments. Still, in terms of superhero-centric franchise TV, it’s arguably among some of the best viewers have been offered to date.

Season 1 Review:
There’s no reason this needs to be eight episodes. The good would have been more concentrated, more powerful, in fewer. The diversions could have been eliminated. Farrell plays Oz like a dumber, more desperate Tony Soprano. That’s better in small doses. Only when Milioti’s Sofia is mixed into the equation does “The Penguin” really soar.
