I am not loving The Penguin. Nice tone and atmospherics, but if not for the astounding transformation of Farrell, it’s a very drab, by-the-numbers, standard crime family story. The inclusion of the kid seems forced and sometimes bothersome, even though I don’t dislike him. He just seems incongruous. I’ve always like Cristin Miliotti and even wrote something with her in mind, but I don’t think she’s ‘big’ enough for this. I don’t think she’s a lead. Carmen Ejogo is wasted. Maybe there’s more in store for her later?

I’m not super into the whole Batman lore and whatnot, though I’ve seen all the films, and I haven’t even looked into this, but… isn’t this storyline immediately subsequent to the film The Batman? And there are no references to Batman and the crime families are moving massive quantities of drugs in Gotham and Batman isn’t a concern?

I keep hoping the show is ‘ramping up,’ but… it’s all just more of the same and predictable. Acting is all pretty good. Looks good. But, it is not captivating.

Tell me how I’m wrong and what I’m missing.
