The Penguin

I don't watch a lot of television and next to nothing in the DC Comics Universe but I have to tell you that the new series The Penguin is really good so far. 

It starts Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobb, Batman's old nemesis.

I understand that it is a spinoff from the 2022 series, The Batman, which I never watched either.

The pilot is violent and certainly not everybody's cup of tea but the acting is superb.

This is more gangster than superhero, in fact there is none of the latter, which I like. 

But The Penguin is to Batman as Andor is to Star Wars, namely great writing and superb character development.

On Max, if you get it. Worth a watch.
