‘The Penguin’ Review – Colin Farrell Takes the Iconic DC Villain to a Whole New Level
The Penguin raises the bar for comic book TV shows, with Colin Farrell delivering a career-best performance as the titular DC villain.
From emotional scenes shared with Oz’s mother to showcasing manipulative methods to outdo his enemies, Farrell further fleshes out a one-of-a-kind interpretation that stands as one of the greatest villains ever seen in a comic book movie or TV series. Matt Reeves and the directing team behind The Penguin — which includes Craig Zobel ( Mare of Easttown), Jennifer Getzinger ( Mad Men), and Helen Shaver ( Station Eleven) — depict Gotham City similarly to The Batman but also allow the series to carve out its own visual identity. Colin Farrell easily places his interpretation of the Penguin into the conversation of the best live-action comic book villains of all time, delivering a layered performance that makes the audience sympathize with him almost every episode before punching you in the heart with a monstrous evil act.
