The Batman spin-off show The Penguin may be titled after Colin Farrell’s gangster Oz Cobb, but he’s arguably not the real star of the show. Ever since Cristin Milioti’s mobster daughter Sofia Falcone fiercely entered the scene, calmly strutting in with quiet menace to question Oz about the disappearance of her brother Alberto during the first episode, it’s been hard to take our eyes off her. That has now become impossible with the most recent installment episode 4, titled ‘Cent’anni’, which further cements Sofia as the best character in this gripping crime drama.
This chapter firmly places Sofia in the spotlight and essentially serves as her ‘origin story’ episode. Not only do we dive into her history, but we witness a pivotal turning point with Milioti’s character during the present day timeline too – one that affects all of Gotham. As I said to myself at the jaw-dropping conclusion of the episode, "shit’s about to get real".
