In The Penguin, Colin Farrell's Oz Cobb is a complex character—a wannabe mob boss whose grand ambitions are undercut by constant blunders that keep viewers engaged.
Farrell’s performance punctuates the show, channeling influences from iconic actors and creating a unique blend of charm and cunning that captivates the audience.
The character of Cobb draws comparisons to Shakespeare's Richard III, both sharing ambition and physical deformity, yet Cobb’s schemes always misfire, adding to the show’s tension.
Cobb views himself as a Machiavellian genius, always plotting; however, his failures make his journey compelling as he improvises to navigate the criminal underworld.
