"The Penguin” is currently chronicling Oz Cobb’s rise from relative nobody to one of Gotham’s criminal kingpins on HBO and Max (one of the best streaming services).
Picking up just days after the events of “The Batman” — wherein Gotham’s seawall collapsed and Carmine Falcone was assassinated — Oz sets out to stake his claim on the city. Anchored by brilliant performances from both Colin Farrell and a scene-stealing Cristin Milioti (as Carmine’s daughter, Sofia Falcone), the series is already proving to be a grounded, gritty watch every week.
