It didn’t take long for The Penguin to become the greatest show on television — but just as the DC series has found its footing, its riveting crime saga is close to its end. As The Penguin is an eight-episode limited series, only three chapters remain. It’s disappointing news for a story that feels like it’s just getting started, especially after the riveting revelations in Episode 5. There’s clearly still plenty of gas in the tank, so it’ll be interesting to see where this week’s episode takes Colin Farrell’s title character.
Gotham City is teetering at the edge of an all-out war between its most famous crime families, with Oz Cobb stuck right in the middle. Whether the aspiring kingpin can carve out his own empire feels like a foregone conclusion, but if The Penguin’s unpredictable first half has taught us anything, it’s that his fortunes can change in the blink of an eye.
