That was the best hour of TV that I’ve watched in a VERY long time!! Super excited for the season!! Talk about being perfectly casted; & I will never not be amazed with the makeup artist that does up Farrell!
bro everytime I see him in these interviews, my first thought is that they completely messed up and put the wrong name lmao maybe if he wants to take a break from directing, James Gunn can have him be JG in the new universe.
@@comebackguy8892 I would say the more I saw of it the more and thought about the premise I knew it would be good. It was more my initial reaction that I was a bit hesitant.
The Penguin is the BEST season Premiers I've seen all year and in awhile. Phenomenal hour of television. The story is fantastic and intense. Matt reeves is a master of his craft. Oh and Collin Farrel and Criston Milioti EMMY Frontrunners‼️ Bravo HBO 👏 🔥
I will never say anyone is or ever will be better than the great James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano but my god Colin Farrell's Penguin has so many Tony Soprano traits to him its absolutely nuts. The melo dramatic method acting is so on point this Penguin character is the closest thing to Tony Soprano I have seen since. Absolutely outstanding Pilot episode.
i could listen to Matt Reeves talking about this stuff for days, the passion for this whole Batman project just oozes out of him whenever he can say anything about it. i'm loving the show already and i hope it'll stay as good to the very end
Off topic but I just love how Colin is wearing Irish flag colors on his head 🇮🇪 I'm so glad Hollywood hasn't changed him and he's always remained a true Irishman.☘
Best pilot episode I’ve seen in a long time, definitely looking forward to this series! The story, the aesthetics and cast, the acting, the world building, all of it was perfect. I was a little skeptical about how this show would turn out but after watching, I know this will be a great watch
I would like to thank Casey Bloys and everyone at HBO and Max team for always giving us amazing shows to watch all year long..Tv is really in its golden era and this is a company that understands good storytelling when they read or hear at the pitch meeting..
I completely love everything they have done with The Penguin in this universe. I like that Oz's last name is Cobb as a way of grounding him but I like to think that he changes it to Cobblepott when he reaches the top as a way of making himself more impressive to the mob.
My hometown buddy Mike Zegen landing the role portraying Alberto Falcone makes me so proud. This show is an action series built completely on dialogue. Treating the Penguin basically as similar to Joe Pesci’s character in Goodfellas - a working class underdog with a deadly temper. Love it & can’t wait to see more.
Never had a show where I really couldn't wait for the next week since Game of Thrones. Every character in this show is so well-written and acted; it's beautiful.
The 1st episode was fantastic and it was interesting to see the class divide in Gotham between the rich and the poor and the effects of it and how power corrupts people. Colin Farell and Cristin Milioti were sensational. It's going to be intriguing how Oz and Victor's relationship progresses.I'm excited for the rest of the episodes.
Colin Farrell is being rightfully praised for his brilliance but Cristin Milioti really stood out this first episode, I was blown away with how subtle she played it, and all the mannerisms and ticks that reflect parts of her character, upbringing and experience in Harlem, which i hope we explore, she’s got such an edge and like she’s about to crack and completely turn at a dime. Its As if she’s completely nuts but straining to keep herself composed and calm
Loved it can't wait for episode two everything about it is just class the setting the characters and colin has smashed it so much RANGE so underrated as an actor for me.
Interesting, we've always see Penguin at top of the food chain, but never at the bottom. A man with a disability in Gotham's underbelly, yeah, Oz would be seen as a joke before the fear really sets in.
I just watched the first episode of The Penguin, the spin-off of the Batman saga, and it's magnificent Colin Farrell is still a tremendous actor, the actress who plays Sofia Falcone is intimidating and terrifying, it's a great continuation of what Matt Reeves left about Oz rising to power to be the king of Gotham DC and HBO Max did it, completely surpassing the gay series Agatha in 24 hours [MARVEL LEARN] ❤🐧💙
that mom scene was something else. at first I was afraid they gonna make her just a weak point or their relationship an abusive one, but that pep talk was masterful.
I am yet to find someone doing a bad job on this show. Victor is amazing, Alberto was brief but awesome!, Colin deserves the Emmy, please let just give the Emmy to these amazing group of people.
I never watched this character before. I love Colin Farrell. I cannot believe what an amazing actor he is! I always loved him but this is out of this world.
This is how superhero spin off shows should be. The batman world was perfect for this kinda show cause it was already fairly grounded and it stuck the landing perfectly! More of this pls
@RUclips-tied Victor's last name "Aguilar" has to do with eagles in Spanish. Obviously, they wanted to keep with the avian theme when naming Oz's sidekick.
Saw the episode and it was fantastic! Really bringing the Gotham criminal underworld to life and i hope its around for many seasons introducing other Batvillains that may not get to the big screen.
You guys have done a stunning job with this one….. 10 / 10 Just Great writing, You must have sat down and worked hard on that Script, Colin is just Brilliant too.
I love how this version of the Penguin is kind of a loser in the mob's eyes. In my mind this is the best version of the Penguin so far. I really like what they decided to do with this character.
I live on through tough times so that i be alive to witness entertainment like I did today when I watched The Penguin! Colin Farrell is a living legend.
They made oz very childlike at times which I liked. He’s quite the oversharer and eager to please and also impulsive. But also fairly smart and driven and knows the moves needed at that level
Colin Farrell is one of the most gifted living actors. He's never been less than compelling to watch, in anything I've seen him in. As they say about Brad Pitt, he's a tremendous character actor, trapped in the body of a Hollywood Leading Man. And like Cate Blanchett or Meryl Streep -- he somehow manages to become a completely different human being, in every film or series he appears in. (Despite the audience's familiarity with his face and voice.) It's like a magic trick...and without any trace of artifice or affectation. You never "see" the acting technique that goes into his performances, as one often does with actors trained in the "Method" of Stanislavsky and Lee Strasberg. (Whose work is also wonderful to watch.) A great job of casting by Matt Reeves and HBO.
That was the best hour of TV that I’ve watched in a VERY long time!! Super excited for the season!! Talk about being perfectly casted; & I will never not be amazed with the makeup artist that does up Farrell!
Agree 1000%
It's absolutely wild that's Colin Farrell underneath, thank god WB didn't manage to ruin this universe between the movie and this series so far.
Penguin 🐧: Delicious 🤤
Such a great start. Love this show so far.
ruined by that kid's acting
he is horrible at acting, who hired him
Colin Farrell once again delivered as the penguin. His facial expressions and line delivery is gold!
Colin Farrell supremacy.
1st episode!!!
Top tier!!!!
but are the lines Good?
@@LordEriolTolkien yes
Matt Reeves looks like commissioner Gordon and Omni Man mixed together
bro everytime I see him in these interviews, my first thought is that they completely messed up and put the wrong name lmao maybe if he wants to take a break from directing, James Gunn can have him be JG in the new universe.
Gordon: Halt!
So JK Simmons?
he looks like kenneth brannagh
I was about to comment the same thing. 😂 James Gordon forreal.
I love Danny Devito's Penguin, but Colin completely disappeared in the make up and gives a stellar performance.
Devito's depiction of Penguin was the most antisemitic ever seen
Devito wasn't even comic accurate.
@@Squadron_Bodronnah dude you’re just seeing Js in a fictional sewer mutant that looks like a penguin and eats herrings. That’s not on the movie.
@@Squadron_Bodron I know right that's why it's such a hard choice between the two. Both great performances
danny was just a more disgusting version of himself...ironically thats most of his roles
"Hey, Vengeance! You think you could come after my money, huh?"
Yeah…..
Probably the greatest pilot I’ve ever seen, peak!!!!!!!
*Plot
I was so ready to rag on this show…and I couldn’t have been more wrong. This was awesome.
My expectations weren’t high but boy were they blown away.
Penguin 🐧: Boo 👻
How could your expectations been low, everything looked so right from the first image, let alone the first trailer.
@@comebackguy8892 I would say the more I saw of it the more and thought about the premise I knew it would be good. It was more my initial reaction that I was a bit hesitant.
SAME and i would rather like to be wrong, take my L than be right
The acting in this show is next level. He was good in The Batman. He's profound in this........
I just finished watching it 15 minutes ago. It's amazing, I recommend everyone to watch it.
Bro yall cooked😭🔥🔥🔥 it was better than I thought it would be. This series bout to be crazy
I don’t know if the “BURGESS” jewelry storefront was an accident but it is a great tribute to the OG Penguin, Burgess Meredith.
no way it was an accident, a great subtle easter egg
It was just another antisemitic trope in a long list of antisemitic tropes associated with the character.
@@Squadron_BodronF you and your antisemitic BS
@@Squadron_Bodronwtf are you on
Doesn't Colin Farrell have that one movie "in burgess"
The penguin has always been my favorite in the batman universe
Me too! Always underestimated, wanting to prove himself.
Hats off to Matt Reeves and the whole squad. This is just amazing work.
THE 1ST EPISODE WAS 🔥 🔥 🔥 THANKYOU FOR TAKING THE CHARACTER SERIOUSLY. BATMAN GEEKS HAVE BEEN WAITING YEARS FOR THIS.
GRATITUDE
To see an actor so immersed in a character is truly awe-inspiring. Thank you, Mr. Farrell, for bringing a new, wonderful take on this character alive!
HBO doesn’t mess around. They get it right 9 times outta 10.
But they won’t when they destroy the upcoming Potter reboot. It’s already doomed
@@chaggy8409 how come? I mean obviously they’ll never match the movies anyway but has anything specific come out about it?
@@YodaOnABender Race swap
@@chaggy8409 who?
@@YodaOnABender Rumor is one or more of the main three. Hope it's wrong, but the way the industry has gone lately it's easy to believe
My guy should be getting an auto Emmy for this role!!!
The actress who played Sofia should also get Emmy..
honestly blew my expectations out the water and i expected this to be great. simply incredible

Yeah I noticed that also
My thoughts exactly
Yup..me too… and the Mother!!!!!!
Wouldn’t go that far lol but he’s still good
i could listen to Matt Reeves talking about this stuff for days, the passion for this whole Batman project just oozes out of him whenever he can say anything about it. i'm loving the show already and i hope it'll stay as good to the very end
Thank you to everyone who worked hard on this show. Every single person who worked on this show deserves praise.
This is why I love DC. I like their dark characters.
I love atmosphere in Gotham City
Off topic but I just love how Colin is wearing Irish flag colors on his head 🇮🇪 I'm so glad Hollywood hasn't changed him and he's always remained a true Irishman.☘
The best hour I had in a very long time!!! Bravo to everyone involved in this show. Episode 1 is a masterpiece already 👏
Best pilot episode I’ve seen in a long time, definitely looking forward to this series! The story, the aesthetics and cast, the acting, the world building, all of it was perfect. I was a little skeptical about how this show would turn out but after watching, I know this will be a great watch
That was an amazing pilot episode of a season. I already loved The Batman, this pilot made me love The Penguin.
Give Collin an award. Man, what a performance! Even on top of makeup and prosthetics.
I would like to thank Casey Bloys and everyone at HBO and Max team for always giving us amazing shows to watch all year long..Tv is really in its golden era and this is a company that understands good storytelling when they read or hear at the pitch meeting..

This iteration of Penguin has become so peak, he so quickly became one of my favorite villains of all time, Colin Farrell is masterclass at his game
Show is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
We need more Colin Farrell as Penguin!!

Very impressed with The Penguin. Well written and great acting.
I am absolutely loving this show. And what a way to open an opening scene. I was instantly hooked.
the dude who plays vic is next up honestly amazing
He was also in marvels runaways if u wanna see him in another show. Still sad it was canceled
I agree. The acting he did when he thought penguin was going to kill him was amazing. He's very talented
This series is just Chef's Kiss!
Beautifully written, expertly acted, and brilliantly directed-and it's only the first episode!
The Riddler = Lawful Evil
The Joker = Chaotic Evil
The Penguin = Neutral Evil
The premier was fantastic. 🐧
Colin Farrell is being rightfully praised for his brilliance but Cristin Milioti really stood out this first episode, I was blown away with how subtle she played it, and all the mannerisms and ticks that reflect parts of her character, upbringing and experience in Harlem, which i hope we explore, she’s got such an edge and like she’s about to crack and completely turn at a dime.

Fantastic writing. Great character writing & psychology of a character. That’s how you write great characters & a great story
Awesome episode and introduction to this show. Cannot wait for more!!
just finished watcher episode 3. Is the best thing ive watched in 2024. Colin Farrell delivering the best perfomance ever.
He will always be Oswald Cobblepot to me
Loved it can't wait for episode two everything about it is just class the setting the characters and colin has smashed it so much RANGE so underrated as an actor for me.
Its great 2 see Colin staying focused on his craft. Doing great work and staying away from the crap in Hollywood. Fair play
Interesting, we've always see Penguin at top of the food chain, but never at the bottom. A man with a disability in Gotham's underbelly, yeah, Oz would be seen as a joke before the fear really sets in.
I just watched the first episode of The Penguin, the spin-off of the Batman saga, and it's magnificent
Colin Farrell is still a tremendous actor, the actress who plays Sofia Falcone is intimidating and terrifying, it's a great continuation of what Matt Reeves left about Oz rising to power to be the king of Gotham
DC and HBO Max did it, completely surpassing the gay series Agatha in 24 hours [MARVEL LEARN] ❤🐧💙
Gay = bad. Got it.
Show of the year. Im calling it now
Thank God it’s already out! 🙌🏻👌🏻 Can’t wait for the next episode
I hope they continue this universe. This show is awesome
that mom scene was something else. at first I was afraid they gonna make her just a weak point or their relationship an abusive one, but that pep talk was masterful.
This was so frickin' good :) I loved the Batman, Oz and the mobsters were the best part of that movie.
This first episode? Absolutely amazing
I need more of this! Amazing team behind this show! Colin just kills it as the penguin.
Best first episode of any TV Show ever!!!
Thank the Lord there are still creators making TV like this... Not been this excited about anything on TV for a long, LOOOOOOONG time
The Penguin is so convincing. This is my favorite show now.
Excellent show! I'm really glad to see Penguin in his more ruthless nature becoming a mob boss.
Colin Is a legend and is killing it fr as the penguin 😊🔥
Fantastic show. Watched first episode twice.
At last, a decent, well written, well acted show! I'm so over my disappointment of Rings of pooer!
I cannot wait for the next episode I love this universe
I am yet to find someone doing a bad job on this show. Victor is amazing, Alberto was brief but awesome!, Colin deserves the Emmy, please let just give the Emmy to these amazing group of people.
The Batman is the best movie of the decade so far imo. Ain’t no way you can pull off making this my favorite series
the series after the first episode looks great! can't wait for the others
It was way better then i expected, Also Sofia's character is already my favorite character damn she made me nervous just watching it
I never watched this character before. I love Colin Farrell. I cannot believe what an amazing actor he is! I always loved him but this is out of this world.
Yall reached deep in the bag for the series. Colin Farrell deserves it.🥂
Brilliant show, Colin is fantastic so are the rest of the cast what an awesome job theyve done
The first episode was excellent. Looking forward for the whole season!
This is how superhero spin off shows should be. The batman world was perfect for this kinda show cause it was already fairly grounded and it stuck the landing perfectly! More of this pls
This show is really well done. Colin Farrell needs some industry recognition for his performance. He's phenomenal.
Great episode. Looking forward to more 🔥. Colin nailed that penguin character
The Penguin and The Eagle. Ride or die 😂
The Eagle?
Ride
@RUclips-tied Victor's last name "Aguilar" has to do with eagles in Spanish. Obviously, they wanted to keep with the avian theme when naming Oz's sidekick.

No se imaginan cuanto espere por esto
Dos años , pero valio la pena
Commissioner Gordon: Heads 🆙
Loved the tone of the film, so I was a little bit worried about how the series would continue that but the first episode knocked it out of the park!
You guys have done a stunning job with this one….. 10 / 10 Just Great writing, You must have sat down and worked hard on that Script, Colin is just Brilliant too.
The Series is genius keep it that way
Spectacular series. Thank you very much DC/HBO, for Matt Reeves' Batverse, with Oz (The Penguin🐧) and The Batman: Part II 🦇(2026)
Watching episode 1 right now. 🔥🤯🔥🤯
Let us know your thoughts.
@@StreamOnMax HBO is back. Fantastic episode. Cant wait for every Sunday.
Such a good start. I honeslty want a season 2 of this before The Batman 2...

Estuvo buenísimo el primer episodio, muchas gracias max❤
I loved it! The plot in the first episode was engaging, not all over the place.

Great start to the series! Colin as penguin is masterful! Looks like he borrows alot from James Gandolfini's Tony Soprano.... and I love it! 💪🏾👍🏿🙏🏾
The whole time I i felt like I was watching a movie, can't wait for episode 2
Love that Colin is channeling his inner Lovelace / Ramon from Happy Feet with that headband 🐧
Farrell.. damn.. now thats acting.. bravo hbo ❤❤❤
