Cent'Anni

This was horrific in the best way. The only other time I can remember feeling this way was when watching a Korean drama called The Glory. No spoilers, but if you're rating this a ten, you should check that one out, too.

Cristin Milioti should win every award available for this episode alone. She won't, as this is a comic book adjacent show, but she deserves them.

I feel sick watching what they did to Sofia, the only decent human in her family and she paid for it. Oz was always the antagonist of the show, but he was presented as the main character and so you rooted for him. But, now, after this, all of use are team Sofia.

I am following this show since the first week and it is only getting better. Whenever you start an episode, you can be sure for one hour of absolute masterclass of acting and thrill. Every actor understand their character at a very deep level and we can see that. This episode revolves around Sophia and we get see her backstory. The story is so simple yet very deep and beautiful at the same time. We can understand what made her like this and why her every action is justifiable. Cristin is shining in every scene she is into. She shows the trauma and craziness both at the same time and looks effortless doing it. Everything in episode is great and this show is not just becoming one of the best show of the year but also one the best shows of all time. It's TV at it's peak.

Cristin Milioti delivered an outstanding performance in this episode; I anticipate an Emmy nomination coming her way. Her acting was perfect; she conveyed her role not just through dialogue but through facial expressions and body movements. The writers did an outstanding job with the character of Sofia.

The writers did such a compelling job describing the horrors of what it is like to be in Arkham. Since its inception, Arkham Asylum has been written to be atrocious and considered hell on earth, but no other depiction has shown the audience through the terrifying perspective of an inmate imprisoned in Arkham.

This episode was truly incredible, and found me sympathizing with a lead who had been mostly a side character until this point. Be the end of the episode, I was rooting for her more than I have ever rooted for a character, and then once the credits started to role, I remembered "oh yeah, she's the bad guy..." I've never had a show trick me into caring so much about anyone, let alone the villain.

This show is amazing. There are so many layers, and they keep peeling back more. I thought this show was going to be a cash grab to get Farrel back into the fat suit and just spend more time in the Batman universe so Max can stay relevant, but boy was I wrong. This show deserves to be on. It might be the best thing on tv right now.

Cristin Milioti delivers a powerhouse performance that not only grounds the episode but elevates the entire series. Milioti brings an extraordinary blend of grit and vulnerability to her role, making her character unforgettable in a gritty Gotham setting.

This episode allows Milioti to explore the full depth of her character's emotions, and she leans into the tension with intensity and nuance. Milioti captures a simmering rage and fearlessness, making her character's motives feel both deeply personal and hauntingly universal. It's not just that she's believable-she's magnetic, transforming every scene she's in, whether through a silent, haunted stare or an explosive confrontation.

Episode 4 cements Milioti as one of The Penguin's standout talents, proving she's not just a supporting player but a pivotal force in the show's unfolding drama. This episode, like each before it, stands as a testament to the high caliber performances that make The Penguin unmissable and has me awaiting where the series will go next.
