Inside Man

Although it hits some similar beats with the first episode, it was still an excellent continuation and build on the pilot. I was afraid of it being the case of putting all the points in the pilot then a bit of a downgrade but it is not the case, the performance, the cinematography and scheming are still really good, I also love so far that it is not very predictable with how certain things play out and I have been loving that. If the show keeps up this quality, it is joining the HBO elite club and among the best shows I have watched this year, still it's too early to judge but I don't see it slowing down can't wait for more.

I find it ironic that Oz says trust me so much and the same man is one of the most untrustworthy people in Gotham, I love it.

Episode 2 picks up with Sofia struggling on adapting to a "normal" life outside Arkham. Oz is playing his strength as the middle main, trying to juggle the Falcones and the Maronis. With both families showing they have little to no respect for Oz, he gets a chance to show what he can do during a drops stash move. This leads to a plethora of issues for Oz and he has to be kept on his toes.

Yea another fantastic episode, I'm really enjoying Oz and Sofia a lot! You can see slowly there is a form of a relationship blossoming. And I like that the trailers and clips for the series are 99% episodes 1 and 2 leaving the next 6 a complete surprise.

The absolute grit and grime of Gotham is so enjoyable to watch, that mixed with a great score and also stellar performances it's hard not to enjoy the show.

People compare it to the sopranos style and breaking bad formula dialogue but honestly I see the Penguin holding its own so far, with perfect pace and good progression each episode, this could be a major hit, 8.5/10.

This series is a real godsend for all fans of high-quality cinema! From the very first minutes, he immerses himself in his unique world, capturing with an intriguing plot and an unsurpassed atmosphere. Each episode is a small masterpiece filled with deep emotions and carefully thought-out details

The cast was chosen just perfectly: each actor put his soul into his role, creating vivid and memorable images. I want to support the heroes in their struggle, rejoice in their victories and empathize with their losses. Acting at the highest level is not just roles, but live characters that are easy to identify with

Separately, it is worth noting the work of the screenwriters. Their skill is evident in every line of the dialogues, which sound natural and organic. The story unfolds smoothly and unpredictably, forcing the viewer to constantly wonder what will happen next. Plot twists deliver unexpected and exciting blows, keeping the interest throughout the series

I'm waiting for the next episode 🙏💯

OK, I am easy to please. Give me a good writing, good actors, well made sets and sprinkle it with little action and boy, Penguin episodes 1 and 2 delivered on all those fronts.

The show so far has rich dialogues, great story and is very well acted. I was on the edge of my seat this whole episode. Perfect start and perfect ending.

The first episode was equally gripping. The tone was consistent, as it is dark, gritty and layered.

If this is an indication of how it will be for the rest of the season, then we may have Penguin as one of the top great shows In a decade!

Can't wait on what's to come.

Colin Farrell's Penguin continues to be compulsively watchable and again his machinations drive a very good second episode. He manages to be simultaneously machiavellian, mercurial and desperate as he weaves complex schemes while also being forced to claw for survival. The supporting cast, especially Christin Milloti, remains excellent. There's enough action, intrigue and suspense to keep things interesting and the pace moves briskly.

If there's one downside to this episode it's that it hits most of the same beats as the first, albeit in novel ways. I hope the rest of the series won't just be six more episodes recycling the same basic ideas. Fortunately a reveal in the closing minutes of the second episode indicates that it won't.
