I remember something from a long time ago that maybe it was a comic that somebody had drawn and a chair on the internet, and I was basically Ronald McDonald getting fed up, and he pulled a falling down type moment where he shapes his head puts on a flak jacket, and murderers all of the other McDonald's pals. Maybe it was an amateur short story.

What didn't you like about it? I thought it was good. Not on Nolans level but better than anything else DC has done recently. Certainly miles ahead of Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Flash.

I've still go two episodes to catch up to be current, but I'm definitely enjoying this show a lot.
Anyway, only thing I wanted to say was Collin is probably getting all the accolades, but man that lady who plays his mom gave him a run for his money.

Yea, the acting was great all around.
The kid was annoying as fuck, which made him a useful tool which I don't mind being thrown away. Plus, it solidified that fact that this isn't some cheesy Hollywood bullshit with Redemption Arcs and the like. No, this is a real villain doing real villain shit. As for Sofia, I kept waiting for an actual Long Halloween thread to the story... and was let down.

binged through the series last few days, very enjoyable. Honestly one of only two shows in 2024 I'd say were watching week to week instead of binge watching - Shogun and The Penguin.
I don't rate it (yet?) as high as The Wire or Andor or Sopranos, mostly cuz of run time/only 1 season but also the cast feels a bit too small. I only really got to know The Penguin, Sofia, and a bit of Victor and Mom. I don't really feel like the other characters got much depth or time. Which is fine, but that does make it a less challenging show to execute/praise.
Great ending all around though, I honestly did not expect any of it but it totally makes sense from what we've seen in the previous 7 episodes. Thats the best kind of writing, when something happens that shocks you but you also acknowledge its extremely in line with what the writers have developed.
Its so insane this is the dude playing Penguin. If you haven't watched it, 100% recommend go immediately and watch Banshees of Inishirin and The Gentlemen, he always has such interesting roles

Another side character like Rex being given a small story arc would have made it feel a little bigger. His acting was on par with the rest of the cast. The miniseries aspect likely limited the scale.
For that reason, it can't be compared until it's confirmed to be a seasonal show. AFAIK this is up for awards as a limited miniseries and all marketing spend is towards that.
