Esta es sin dudas una serie magistral y hasta ahora de las mejores que he visto en este año. En mis últimas reseñas no he tenido el privilegio de presentar una producción como esta y es que, si me preguntan a mí, respondería rápidamente que entra en la cima del top de las mejores del género de superhéroes o relacionado con el mundo de los cómics. Esta no es la historia que conocemos de Oswald Cobblepot o el Pingüino…

A little over 2 years ago, I went to see The Batman with my partner. Although I consider this film to be the best I've ever seen (with this character), I have some complaints about it. I've already forgotten about the little things, but not the biggest problem - the film was a bit too long, especially the 3rd act had too slow pacing. However, this is a topic for another discussion. Today I will present you one of th…
Hola a todos mis buenos amigos de la comunidad Movies & TV Shows, en esta ocasión regreso para hablarles de una nueva serie que pude disfrutar recientemente. Les hablaré sobre "El Pingüino", la cual ha llegado para todos como una de las revelaciones del pasado año, disponible en la plataforma de streaming HBO Max. Dicha plataforma, por cierto, la tengo como una de mis preferidas cuando deseo disfrutar de un buen con…
Spoiler Alert ... Spoiler Alert ... Spoiler Alert Before I write a review I like to read others, to see what I might have missed in a series/movie. I read several for this blog, and, as is usually the case with me, saw in the series something other reviewers did not. One reviewer, from the New York Times, panned the HBO series, *The Penguin*...although he had only seen one episode. Another reviewer from Forbes, foun…
FUENTE La mini serie "The Penguin" es clase aparte. Es una solida historia de ganster y la construccion de este villano es brillante. Mat Reeves, El director de "The Batman" está metido en el asunto así que la serie tiene esa misma estética oscura, se siente que ciudad Gótica es un lugar peligroso. Y nos muestran como Oz Cobbs sube lentamente la escalera del crimen organizado hasta convertirse en ese poderoso empres…
Source One of the most important characters in superhero movies are the villains, because without them nothing would be the same and many are not so named, however, sometimes directors bet on recreating movies especially for them and thus to take the adventure to another level and learn more details and one of those is a villain of the Batman franchise. This new installment had long been waiting for it released on H…
Hola amigos, buenas vibras para todos. > Hello friends, good vibes to all. Source! Danny DeVito de por allá en 1992 en "Batman Return" o Robin Lord Taylor de la serie "Gotham" son algunos de los pingüinos que he visto en televisión o cine, cada uno con su esencia y en diferentes etapas del personaje pero lo que estamos viendo con Colin Farrell va más allá. No solo es la adopción de los gestos, del hablar, de la risa…
A finales de los 80' y principio de los 90', la visión de Tim Burton de Batman y su galería de villanos cambio por completo mi perspectiva hacia todo esos personajes; en mi opinión (ahora de adulto) pienso que es una visión que se asemeja a un Freak Show, personajes que no temen mostrar su nivel de locura en una lucha por controlar (villanos) y defender (héroe) a Ciudad Gótica; tiempo después, lo referente a la real…
This year has been a goldmine for great TV series. Early on, we had gems like True Detective, Shogun, Halo, Fallout, The Rings of Power, and The Bear, just to name a few favorites. But as the year winds down, the quality hasn't let up, and I believe The Penguin can easily be called one of the best series of 2024. La Excelencia Cinematográfica de The Penguin que redefine al villano >Este año nos ha entregado series m…
Source The Penguin second season finale is one of the most impactful finales in recent years to be honest, very little series gives this kind of impression like Mandalorian or Game of Thrones, as it wraps up story lines and sets up exciting possibilities for The Batman Part 2 and handles Oz character development and final transformation into the monster we knew he had become masterfully, per Matt Reeves himself, thi…
Freakin' Epic I've been a huge fan of this new universe from the start, especially Colin Farrell as Penguin. The Batman, even though it’s not even three years old, has already become a comfort movie for me, and I keep rewatching it (alongside the Nolan trilogy, Burton's two, etc.). That said, I was cautiously optimistic until the series actually dropped. We’ve seen plenty of things around Batman start off promising…
I just watched the final episode of the Penguin series and damn it's a freaking awesome one. As usual, i won't make any spoilers for you because i am a cool guy but let me share my excitement with you and start saying more about the series. In other words, let the review start! So the series, or mini-series to be more precise released in 2024 and the first episode aired on 19 September 2024. In total there are 8 epi…
Source The Penguin has turn into such a great TV Series and mostly thanks to Colin Farrell , not saying that the rest of the cast has not done great but the work he has put into his character is amazing in every single aspect. On Episode 7 " Top Hat ", we rocket back in time to Oz Cobb’s turbulent past and disturbing present. In this penultimate episode, we wade into the origin of our favorite flightless bird, and d…
The Penguin has been an alright show so far. I wouldn't say it's something that has really blown me out of the water though. This is a show that is made in a particular style but one that isn't really new to the world of hyper-budget television series made for streaming. I don't think is a show that will really surpass your expectations. It's nothing that you'd easily bring up to a group of friends over a meeting in…
The Penguin has been an interesting show so far. It is one that has started off relatively slow which has given the assumption that it's a show that intends to really stick around for a few years with numerous seasons. I came to this assumption based on the fact that so far, with five episodes in, it has been a slow grind between specific families within the city of Gotham as Penguin hunts down a new drug which is s…
Source ‘Centanni’ the name of episode four of The Penguin and it’s a real game changer in the series because it changes all our perceptions of Sofia Falcone , besides things changing drastically within the family by force. It is in her past that we get to see who the Hangman really is and what makes her so different from any other character we’ve come across, she was made into a real Falcone , probably if her dad wa…
El pasado domingo se estrenó el cuarto episodio de la sorprendente miniserie basada en uno de los villanos de Batman, me refiero a El Pingüino ; este episodio cierra la encrucijada de esta historia en la cual con los otros tres episodios anteriores formaron una fuerte base para lo que será los últimos cuatro restantes y lo que pondrán fin a esta producción de HBO y MAX; personalmente no tenía pensado hacer más reseñ…
Things had been feeling a little slow and lack luster in Gotham as of late, which is a surprise given all that has been taking place within its world. The Penguin has been a show that I have been rather on the fence about since I started watching it, not quite sure what I feel about it but definitely knowing that I appreciate aspects of it. The acting can be all over the place depending on the character, while some…
Source I'm a bit behind my TV Series mostly because of work related stuff but thanks that's over now and hope I can now concentrate more on pushing some posts, The Penguin series has a lot of great feedback and reception from both critics and the audience, people has been loving this series, I have to confess we have a couple of banger TV Series on 2024. Bliss ", The Penguin Episode 3 remains a solid episode and kee…
Source Colin Farrell brilliantly recreates Ozzie Cobb. We already saw this character in the movie “Batman”, but on this new occasion he once again demonstrates how great the character is. It is evident that the care and dedication of the actor made his performance impeccable. His way of walking, his characteristic scars, his gold teeth, his grimaces and gestures. All this enriches the character with nuances a…
We are now three episodes into The Penguin, and we are starting to get a real feel of what HBO's television series and somewhat The Batman tie-in this show actually is. Three episodes with each almost at an hour's length has felt more like an entire season at this point, but it's also starting to feel like not much is really going on for the character. The Penguin's first three episodes have each pretty much showed…
Source The Penguin has turn out to be one of my favorite TV series right now, mostly because of its visual effects and the story too, it is starting to feel very Gotham like, so as soon as a new episode comes out I jump into it, this time episode 2 called "Inside Man." With its tough captured look at Gotham's gang culture and Colin Farrell's master class of character development of Oswald Cobblepot the series really…
The first episode started off strong but had its problems, primarily being a bit too structured in a way that relied on a specific side character to suddenly spring up out of nowhere when it was most convenient for Penguin. The story oriented itself around Penguin's usual manipulative ways having pursed actions that put him in the deep end against a large crime syndicate family known as the Falcones. He runs through…
I don't usually do reviews of single episodes, and usually when I'm just starting something new, I tend to throw out a first impressions post that details the first few thoughts I've had on something while it's still somewhat fresh to me. Though I didn't feel like doing that today, instead I felt like looking into a show that I otherwise wouldn't watch. I'm not sure what pulled me in with this one, especially given…
Posiblemente de todos los villanos que Batman debe enfrentar, es el Pingüino el que menos atracción me ha creado y es debido a la version live-action del personaje en la serie televisiva de los 60'; una versión contrarrestada por lo que hizo Tim Burton en "Batman Return", creando a un grotesco personaje que lo convirtió en un enemigo peligroso por sus motivos llenos de odio, pero de igual manera creía que no era tan…
Source Its been a minute since I have watch a TV Series that made me want to write about it, either they were not good enough or they were bash by other people because its not inline with their thoughts ruining for everyone, its just entertainment. I just watch the first episode of “The Penguin” a few nights ago, it is one crazy show that will wanting more but not in a desperate way, the pace is excellent, its very…
*This publication was also writen in* SPANISH *and* PORTUGUESE . IMDb In yet another production with high technical refinements, HBO begins its television journey - *and fragmented* - within the universe of one of DC Comics ' best-known (and charismatic) villains, the infamous Penguin . Following exactly from the events seen in the movie released in 2022, this television series begins by situating its audience on th…
The Penguin is a Really Charming Guy, Source of Image Edited with Paint Si quieres la representación y casting con alta precisión de un mafioso de los comics en Batman, para que carajos buscar un actor obeso y calvo de la vida real sí solo tienes que contratar a Colin Farrell y cubrirlo en maquillaje para así obtener al encantador y Asqueroso Pingüino Perfecto. La elección de casting es totalmente ilógica y lo incre…
