Looks good!
The 1st episode has dropped, but I think I’ll give it a few weeks before starting.
Anyone watch it yet?



Sorry to say this but the only reason I will be watching this is because of Cristin Milioti. Edit: The first episode of the Penguin was phenomenal! So happy to get to return to the world of The Batman! Colin Farrell stole the show like always. I was looking for a website that supports students by offering services like essay writing, research papers, and proofreading and I found https://academized.com/buy-narrative-essay website that guarantees original work tailored to individual requirements, ensuring confidentiality and on-time delivery. The site also provides tools like a citation generator and plagiarism checker, making it a helpful resource for students needing academic assistance.

No need for sorry. I’ve watched the first couple episodes. You won’t be disappointed with her performance in this role.

I started watching The Penguin recently, too, and it's fantastic!! It's hard to believe it's Colin Farrell under all that makeup! Great performances by all the actors.

I've gotta ask, if you're liking the Penguin... did you like the most recent Batman?

The latest Batman didn't do it for me in any way shape or form... so the Penguin is giving me pause!

I won’t be any help. I haven’t seen that movie. I was super hero weary a long time ago.
Liking this though.

This has some "The Godfather" vibe, next four weeks are going to be a crazy ride, and pave the way towards "The Batman 2". I got a feeling Sofia is gonna kill Oz mother. Once that happens, he will become completely ruthless. He will no longer be "Oz Cobb". He will only be "The Penguin"

Watched the first 2 episodes last night. This seems to be a pretty good series! And for the life of me I just cannot wrap my head around the fact that it's Colin Farrell!

HBO/Max proves yet again that they should never be looked over when it comes to series.

I started to watch it last night. Episode 1 has me hooked. I believe it will be a fantastic series especially with a rating of 8.8 out of 10 from IMDB.
