Colin Farrell Turns Gotham Into "The Sopranos" with HBO's Thrilling "The Penguin" | TV/Streaming | Roger Ebert
Briefly

The Penguin successfully carves out a compelling narrative from its comic origins, surpassing previous attempts at Gotham City-focused stories, notably in character development and storyline.
Oswald 'Oz' Cobb, played by Colin Farrell, showcases a blend of resourcefulness and impulsivity, illustrating the complexities of his character amidst Gotham's chaotic criminal landscape.
Unlike prior Gotham-centered series, 'The Penguin' effectively intertwines its plot with the events of 'The Batman,' enhancing the narrative depth and viewer investment in the characters.
'The Penguin' delivers an engaging exploration of crime in Gotham, driven by a powerful performance from Farrell, who brings depth to the tumultuous figure of Oz.
