‘The Penguin’: The Story Behind Sofia Falcone’s Time At Arkham State Hospital & Why It Was Important To “See Her Driven Mad”


'The Penguin': The Story Behind Sofia's Time At Arkham Asylum & Why It Was Important To "See Her Driven Mad"

If HBO’s adaptation about the classic DC villain can be described as dark, then the fourth episode titled “Cent’Anni” is a straight-up black hole because it explains how Sofia Falcone ( Cristin Milioti) became the maleficent foe to Colin Farrell’s Oz Cobbs. Though cent’anni is a common Italian toast to 100 years of good health, no one is exactly celebrating the decision to commit Sofia to Arkham State Hospital after she questions her father’s role in her mother’s death. But no matter how upsetting it was to watch Sofia get repeatedly zapped in shock treatment, it was important for Showrunner Lauren LeFranc to show what turned the Hangman into someone that Oz should fear.
