The Penguin

[Failzero]

watched the first episode and am totally hooked . It was a refreshing take on the Gotham world and I really think the Penguin will catch fire . It’s a great example of how well such a series can catch on …

I'm still floored that the Penguin is Colin Farrell.

He is other worldly in this Role

It got an A+ from me.

It got an A+ from me.

I’ve heard it’s better than The Joker.

I have that streaming service. Will check it out right now.

It also had a bit of a subtle Sopranos vibe to it.

Saw it and I'm totally meh.

I did not find The Joker all that good

It’s impressive and a little unsettling what actors will do to their bodies to really embody a role

Christian Baile in “ The Machinist “ took that as far as a person could as he lost almost
70 lbs . To flesh out his main character

Yeah that’s the other role I was thinking of.

Didn’t Brendan Frasier gain a ton of weight for that Whale movie, or maybe that was mostly prosthetics?

He was a little obese ( but the Character he played was supposed to be 390-400 Lbs )

Yeah it must have been special effects

It would be pretty unethical to allow him to gain that much weight just for a role in a movie

Bale’s weight loss was a little unethical, tbh. Whatever group of trainers/doctors/dietitians helped him lose that much weight were definitely operating a a grey area there

We liked it. HBO still knows how to make a series. About the only one left that does.

I loved it

Interesting what a little confidence can do !
He gave it to the kid . His mom gave it to him

It got an A+ from me.

It was too crammed in

Did you know that Alberto was played by the same guy who played bugsy Siegel in Boardwalk Empire

He is Jewish

Second episode was better than the first , it’s a Soprano’s kinda vibe for sure ( but with real dangerous undertones around every corner , can’t wait for episode 3 ( I see an Emmy or two for sure in first season )

3rd Episode was best yet This Show is top tier and it is best portrayal of Gotham ever for believability
