Has anyone else been watching the HBO show The Penguin.
I know it's all about opinions but I think it has been quality .
It has a great cast ensemble and Colin Farrell is brilliant.
Gutted that we are onto the final episode.

Yeah it’s excellent. Glad I took the advice to watch the last Batman film though. I couldn’t believe it was Colin Farrell! Incredible make up.

The second joker film is quite good as well.

And the Batman exhibition in London (which was also in Manchester) is worth seeing

Still trying to catch up after series linking it. It's brilliant, there not a single second in the whole series so far where you would say "that's Colin Farrell".
Unbelievable make up to add to his incredible portrayal of the Penguin

Exactly my thoughts. You have no idea at all at any point that it’s Farrell.
Colin Farrell is great but Cristin Milioti as Sofia steals the show for me. She’s incredible in this.

I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought i would, after reading some of the reviews. I think I'll try and avoid them in the future.

Superbly dark Farrell is playing the part to a T, during filming do you ever think he forgot to waddle the make up is extraordinary.

You're right Lip . Left it open with the letter from the half sister plus bat sign , for a possible 2nd series if Farrell available .

Gotta say I’ve quite enjoyed Penguin, not my regular cup of tea , but it’s extremely well done . For an actor as limited as Colin Farell he’s excellent in the lead .

I thought it was fantastic. I didn’t enjoy the Batman film but thought this series was great.

Shall we start with his totally inability to utilise any accent ? Just because he’s been in some decent films and has a very successful career and is entertaining doesn’t mean he’s anything but a one trick acting pony . The same could be said for say Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt.

You clearly know nothing about acting, actors
Or film….. that’s my final word.
I’m guessing you were once in a school play & henceforth an expert?
