by

As a lifelong fan of the Dark Knight and all things Gotham City, I must say that my excitement for The Penguin has reached new heights with these glowing reviews! Having grown up on the gritty streets of Gotham myself, I can appreciate the authentic portrayal of the city’s crime world in this series.

Initially generating much excitement and anticipation, The Penguin has launched to positive feedback from critics, garnering good ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. The latest DC series picks up where The Batman left off, with Colin Farrell reappearing as Oswald Cobb. This hard-hitting crime drama is attracting notice for its realistic depiction of Gotham’s criminal element.

DC’s The Penguin reviews praise Colin Farrell and more

Many reviewers are commending DC’s The Penguin for its grim and realistic portrayal of Gotham City’s underworld.

Colin Farrell’s portrayal as Oswald “Oz” Cobb, particularly as The Penguin, is exceptional. Jonathan Sim of ComingSoon praises Farrell for being “magnificent” in this role, attributing his impressive transformation to both the actor’s skillful performance and the dedication of the makeup team, resulting in a completely transformed character who bears little resemblance to Farrell himself.

Luke Y. Thompson from SuperHeroHype praises Colin Farrell’s portrayal of Oz as a remarkable blend of makeup artistry and acting prowess. He refers to the series as a crime drama with a Sopranos-esque grittiness, offering an entertaining mix of intrigue, despite its foreseeable ending. The feud between Cobb and Sofia Falcone (Cristin Milioti) enhances the complex power struggle in Gotham by adding layers to it.

As a devoted viewer, I’d say this series is nothing short of mesmerizing, boasting a twisted, unsettling, yet irresistibly captivating essence. It masterfully weaves the threads of a crime drama that leaves you on the edge of your seat.

Jacob Fisher from Discussing Film gave the series a five-star rating, underscoring its dominance among comic book adaptations on TV at present. Sean O’Connell of CinemaBlend commended Farrell’s performance as “remarkable,” while Simon Thompson named it one of his preferred shows of the year. Darren Mooney highlighted the show’s narrative style, drawing a parallel between it and The Sopranos for its sophisticated storytelling.

The Penguin starts with solid Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic scores

The Penguin has started strong with solid ratings on both Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic.

The show boasts a Certified Fresh rating of 89% on Rotten Tomatoes, earning acclaim for its gritty depiction of Gotham’s underworld and impressive acting by Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti. On Metacritic, it has a score of 69, suggesting mainly positive reviews.

Debuting on September 19th, “The Penguin” resumes the tale of Oswald Cobblepot as he strives for power in Gotham City after the occurrences of “The Batman”. This series, with its brooding and tough crime narrative, is reminiscent of classic gangster dramas and adds more depth to Matt Reeves’ portrayal of Gotham.

With an increasing number of reviews, these ratings might change, yet the early feedback indicates that The Penguin could prove to be a substantial expansion to the DC Universe.
