The Penguin (JioCinema) Review :-
After a long wait, the DC Universe is finally shaking things up and alleviating superhero fatigue. As we eagerly anticipate Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga’s electrifying pairing in Joker: Folie à Deux, The Penguin unexpectedly emerges as a standout contender.
The eight-part series follows Farrell’s mobster Oz Cobb as he makes bold moves to take control of Gotham’s underworld. Picking up where The Batman (2022) left off, it surprisingly proves to be even more engaging than the Robert Pattinson film, even without the Dark Knight.
Episode one begins with the fallout from the Riddler’s actions. Gotham, now plagued by crime and flooding, is in chaos as the power vacuum left by mob boss Carmine Falcone’s death sparks a fierce scramble for control. Ambitious henchman Oz aims to dominate the underworld through the drug trade, pitting the Falcone and Maroni families against each other. However, he encounters a formidable opponent in Sofia Falcone (Cristin Milioti), who is determined to take her father’s place. Recently returned from Arkham Asylum, Sofia sees through Oz’s hidden motives, posing a significant threat to his rise. Along the way, Oz forms an unexpected alliance with young Victor Aguilar (Rhenzy Feliz), who becomes his loyal right-hand man.
The Penguin (JioCinema) Trailor :-
Transformed by makeup and prosthetics that completely disguise Farrell’s good looks, the actor is clearly reveling in his role. It’s evident he’s having a great time portraying a mercurial character who is whimsical, deceitful, humorous, and clever. His intolerance for disrespect often overshadows his hunger for power. The political dynamics and engaging conversations between characters add a thrilling edge to the series, keeping you on the edge of your seat.
Final Thoughts
You also get a glimpse into Oz’s family background and his tumultuous relationship with an equally unhinged mother. With Sofia hot on his trail, the cat-and-mouse dynamic only intensifies. Reeves’ stripped-down reimagining of Gotham is captivating; the bad guys truly have the most fun, and while The Penguin shines, Sofia matches his madness. Creator Lauren LeFranc’s strong female characters contribute to the chaos.
As new episodes are released weekly, it will be intriguing to see if this Gotham villain continues to captivate us with his cold-blooded antics.
“The Penguin” is now streaming on JioCinema.
