The Penguin

 

I mean if you are going to steal something, you may as well steal from the best. Stevie Wonder could see that there is lot of the Soprano's in here. There is  Therapy, the Mafia, and an Oedipal complex

I enjoyed this more that the Batman I must say. It was a lot of fun. Colin Farrell playing ugly seemed to relish the role. 

Rhenzy Feliz is excellent. I enjoyed his performance a lot. Someone whose life has been washed away by the flood, and is shipwrecked, Him being Mexican and Dominican is a bit of lazy writing,

He does very well. 

There is an interesting flashback scene when we see the 1990s? or late 80s, but its an odd sort of blur. I think the dress is off, it looks like the 60s/70s  and there is a PC 

Theo Rossi will have to be careful he is not typecast as a fixer to a gangster-ess- we last saw him in Luke Cage

I wondered why one of the Irish hoods, had an Irish accent. Now obviously there are Irish people involved in Organized Crime. Improbably as it will read, a garden centre in Ireland was shut down due to its link with the Sinola Cartel. There is also an O'Shea whose mother married into the Cartels. 

The series used an interesting metaphors. Penguins being birds force the other chicks out of the nest- This may not be specifically true. Birds feed only the strongest of their young 

Gotham seems to have done this first, but Colin Farrell does it well enough

But what a result
