The first reactions for The Penguin starring Colin Farrell have arrived – and some people are c𓃲alling it🀅 one of the best comic book TV shows of all time.
The new series sees Farrell reprise his villain role from Matt Reeves' The Batman as he attempts to seize control of Gotham. Created by Lauren LeFranc, The Penguin also stars Cristin Millioti as Sofia Falcone, Clancy Brown as Salvatore Maroni, Michael Zegen as Alberto Falcone, and𓂃 Michael Kelly as Johnny Vitti.
wrote."The Penguin is a brilliantly crafted crime thriller that turns Colin Farrell’s Penguin into one of the best live-actiꦗon comic book villains of all time," said .
"The Penguin series floored me. A near-perfect mobster story that lived up to ev♔erything it promised," tweeted. "Gritty, compelling, vicious. With some psychological thriller embedded in its ferocious power struggle. Colin Farrell & Cristi𝄹n Milioti fired on all cylinders."
🔯"The Penguin is a splendid addition to Matt Reeves's Batman universe. Darker, grittier, and bloodier, this TV-MA crime drama feels like The Sopranos in Gotham, with Colin Farrell turning in unrecognizable, spectacular work," . "Cristin Milioti steals the show as Sofia Falcone. Exciting, powerful character drama that gets you to hate and sympathize with everyone."
"I've watched all eight episodes of The Penguin and it's the best superhero-universe TV series I've seen since Daredevil, and perfect🀅 for those who wanted an R-rated version of The Batman," .
"The Pengui💟n is an astonishing continuation of the grimy world Matt Reeves created in The Batman," wrote CinemaBlend's Sean O'Connell. "And also📖, its own riveting exploration of an unpredictable criminal. Colin Farrell does incredible work."
"The Penguin ꦦis the spiritual Sopranos sequel we didn't🥃 know we needed," wrote
