She’s absolutely insanely good at playing Sofia. And Colin, I can’t even explain how perfect he is for that role. Best show in a looong time. And the production?! Wow
Watched the first 4 episodes.. Absolutely blown away by the acting, writing, and directing. Best series on TV.. Give Colin and Cristin the Emmy right now
Tbh it’s a bit melancholy bc while we had the golden age of tv for so long, besides Succession & a handful of others, we haven’t had anything on this level for a while. I’m gonna be so sad when S1 is done!
I read a good review of the show in ' The Guardian ', It was on Soho, so thought I'd take a look at the first episode .... .Wow .. just loved it . That said, I asked my partner ' Where the hell is Colin Farrell ' ? , she said ' He's the Penguin ' Had to look it up Wikipedia before I believed it !! Still haven't lived that down 😂
@@paddy.7784 This is what I keep telling my partner with each episode we watch , "it's not him, it's not Farrell, no way". Keeps getting my mind blown in almost every scene. To all the people involved in the show "Kudos"
Hello metalgypsy4! I don't know if it was a mistake, and it is an odd term in the first place, but in case the usual spelling ever comes up in Scrabble or a crossword puzzle the word is "flabbergasted". The feeling is definitely warranted when it comes to Farrell's transformation, though... Have a wonderful evening, -Stéphane Gérard
I've never seen anyone crush roles harder than these two crush in The Penguin. That Cristin's a huge Batman fan too is just a fans dream to know the artists also love the source material. Brilliant work by all involved.
Colin so incredibly humble, down to earth and easygoing. You can feel his passion for the entire film making process and the craft of acting. I’m glad to see him finally get the respect he deserves. He’s been in a ton of great films over the past 15 years.
I've only seen the trailer and that is the exact feel I got. Only down side is Colin has to dress in that costume and make up and that has to get old for an actor.
I can’t believe that he’s actually the Penguin. The execution of the voice is crazy knowing how he really talks. Who would’ve ever thought he’s doing an amazing job so far
I'll say it once, I'll say is 69 times: No matter how much Colin Farrell is acclaimed, this mf is UNDERRATED as an actor. ♥ I LOVE him and Cristin so much in The Penguin. So badass. 🔥
@@StewChicken42don’t worry about that person. They are wrong and you are right, she spells her name “Cristin” and I also agree with you that she’s an amazing actor and the show is brilliant.
It's so popular now to say about appreciated actor that he is so underrated. Like everyone who watched a few episodes show say that he is a great actor
People just saying "x actor is so underrated." Is a meme at this point. In no way it's this man underrated. He's an Oscar nominated performer and been in 58 films. He's been in the scene a long time and continues to get great movie roles because of his talent. He's in no way "underrated." He's very known and appreciated talent.
@@mateuszmichas2468 I kind of agree with him, Farrell isn't brought up enough when discussing the top tier actors of our generation. Most people didn't really "notice" him until his Penguin role, Maybe because his acting is usually on the naturalism side. but he's always been phenomenal.
This man has been in the top game more that 20 years and jim just presented him like a newcomer to success 😅 In the penguin, it is not just the prosthetics I swear this man totally transformed himself in every way. Higher form of acting really. Respect. I think the story is pretty cliche but actings gets it to another level. I would say he should swipe every possible award for that.
I'm glad to see them as regular people, because they stress me out so badly on the show. 😆 The Penguin is PERFECTION! ♥ Cristin seems to be giving a nod to Michelle Pfeiffer's Cat Woman in that dress.
The Penguin was amazing. Like for real... Coliin Farrell deserves all his flower for his part. Cristin also crushed it. They both deserve Emmys and the show itself does too.
Absolutely phenomenal. Hands down the best show on TV right now. Colin completely kills this role. I couldn’t believe it was him in The Batman. Then I watched the first episode of The Penguin…smh…goosebumps. It’s legit THAT good. Such great acting combined with a killer storyline. MUST WATCH!!!
This is excellent The Penguin, Colin & Christin are fantastic in their respective roles, but big props to Rhenzy too, Jimmy should get him on his show.
I mean, she's not Aubrey Plaza or Anna Kendrick, but those two really cultivate their personas as a part of their work. This just feels like her. Funny, witty, but genuine.
I don't watch tv anymore but my son got me into this show and i absolutely love it! He's great at his role but she is wildly talented and is a pure joy to watch!
When I watch this show, probably the first time since I was a child, I feel like I’m watching these characters’ lives. I still can’t believe he’s is Penguin. At no time does it look or feel, “Oh, that’s Colin Farrell under prosthetics”. That’s not Colin Farrell, that’s an entire other person on screen. AND somehow Cristin was able to make you feel that she’s the real “hero” of the story so far. I want her to “win” their turf war. Even the kid playing Vic, how his stutter comes in and out when he’s nervous, afraid or confident. He plays it perfectly. Best crafted show on tv. It’s an absolute clinic on storytelling and character building.
Mike Marino's makeup design and team created an extraordinary and majestic look on Colin Ferrell. Mike Marino is up there with ALL the greats who have graced the silver screen.
I think Colin has done a FANTASTIC job thus far in playing this character. It has certainly put him in an entirely new category as an actor. I'll be shocked if he doesn't get an award for playing this part. And the rest of this cast is excellent as well. Cristin is also fantastic in this role as The Hangman. I haven't been this excited about a TV series since The Soprano's. And that's probably because their are many similar aspects between the two shows.
I like what they're doing with The Penguin. As a big fan of The Gentlemen, I love Colin's work. His transformation in The Penguin is sick though. The first time I saw him looking like that I was like "Wait, this is the dude who made Tom Cruise look like the average guy in Minority Report." Amazing.
The makeup artist is awesome! A quick comparison: When they introduced Killa in John Wick 4, it took a minute, but I figured the actor was wearing special effects makeup. Watching The Batman and The Penguin, you know Colin Farrell is in it, but you have to remind yourself, “Oh yeah, that’s Colin Farrell!”
I have always said DC comics has the most realistic comic transformation movies and TV shows... They should keep doing these... From Batman Movie, Joker, now this... I love it... I get tired of seeing flying people all the time😂
You have plenty to choose: Hugo Strange, Dr Pyg, Hush, Black Mask, The ventriloquist, Great White Shark, Calendar Man, Firefly, Mr Szaz, The ratcatcher and this is just out of high level (but not with superpowers) criminals. Then we have the likes of Poison Ivy and R`has al ghul who easily could be transformed into a grounded character because their ecological pathos. Im Happy that Matt Reeves with team sees this and unlocking this potential.
finally a show written by actual adults with brains with great acting writing production design everything every character nailed it and draws you into their world. the show actually made it for an adult audience and it without the need of unnecessary sex scenes. GOLD
I know this has been said countless times, but Jimmy Fallon is one of the worst interviewers I've ever seen. It looks like he's struggling to speak constantly.
I know. I know. Every guest on every show ever has rehearsed their little Bon mots and their big finish, ideally reflecting what a humble thankful regular Jo Schmo of a real person they are anecdotes, and he.... just constantly interrupts, knocks them off course and then ruins the timing of the tale. Appalling faux laughter and fake interest in his guests he has.
I said to my wife while watching The Penguin, i cant see Colin Farrell at all, no part of him looks like him at all. She said " huh? . Where is he? " I told her hes the Penguin, she was stunned. Not even the eyes look like his, its crazy.
Show of the year without a doubt. I think it's the best since Daredevil. Best actor - Colin Farrell. Best actress is Cristin Milioti without a doubt. She's incredible.
Yup! Classy choice. Looked great! That woman can dress. In interviews for the show, she's wearing this sleeveless high-necked dress that looks almost like a millipede shell. Creepy and magnificent.
She’s absolutely insanely good at playing Sofia. And Colin, I can’t even explain how perfect he is for that role. Best show in a looong time. And the production?! Wow
It's so nice to have a show to fan out over again.
@@livechilllife ikr
WOW shes cute IRL! In the movie she is a bit scary :)
Penguin BEST SHOW z INCE SOPRANOSsss!!!
Absolutely agree!!!!!
This is the BEST show currently on pay cable right now. They are both so good in their roles, Emmy level easy!
Agree it’s so good!
Absofucknlutely!
For a second I thought you were talking about Jimmy Fallon 😨. But I agree Penguin is the best show out.
On TV in general.
Truee best show
Watched the first 4 episodes.. Absolutely blown away by the acting, writing, and directing. Best series on TV.. Give Colin and Cristin the Emmy right now
No DOUBT
Colin always names everyone from costume to dialect coaches always trying to share the light. Makes us Irish proud a true humble man!
This is the best show I’ve seen in a MINUTE! The acting is incredible, and his mannerisms and gravitas in every scene is top notch
mannerisms are insane!
Right?! His mannerisms and the looks that he gives are crazy powerful
Tbh it’s a bit melancholy bc while we had the golden age of tv for so long, besides Succession & a handful of others, we haven’t had anything on this level for a while. I’m gonna be so sad when S1 is done!
A minute? You want to maybe let it sink in a little bit?
@easkeybikes1966 have you just discovered the concept of slang?
Can't get over Colin Farrell as Oz ... I would have never known. Incredible acting.
I was checking the cast and my face dropped when I found out he was the penguin 😂😂😂
Cristin is unbelievably brilliant in Penguin. Episode 4 was awesome!
She is incredible! I made the mistake of watching episode 4 at like 6 this morning. Threw my whole day off 😂
Episode 4 was so rushed though, there was too much of Sofia's story to fit into an hour
@@alexwells6876not even it was perfect episode to show sofias backstory
@@theguyz786yep
True bro
I am flaverghasted in disbelief watching the Penguin and reminding myself that it's Colin😮😮😮

I'm not familiar with the actor but totally didn't know that this is his real voice. Superb acting tho!

She's phenomenal in The Penguin. Obviously Colin is amazing, but in the latest episode, it's essentially the Cristin show, and she kills it.
Yeah, I don't know how she upstaged Colin, and Colin's incredible makeup, but damn, it's Cristin's show now.
Cristin is brilliant
Bro all 4 main cast were brilliant, especially the older lady portraying the Alzheimers. That hit home real deep.
@SarcasticPlotRecaps Oh yeah 100% agree.
I love it, gives me Tony Soprano vibes too, freakin brilliant
fun fact, Cristin Milioti was in The Sopranos (Johnny Sacks' thin daughter).
I've only seen the trailer and that is the exact feel I got.
Only down side is Colin has to dress in that costume and make up and that has to get old for an actor.
Yeah yeah of course is Tony right there 🌟
It definitely makes you have sympathy for the villian....just like Tony
@@grandmam52until it doesnt lol
I can’t believe that he’s actually the Penguin. The execution of the voice is crazy knowing how he really talks. Who would’ve ever thought he’s doing an amazing job so far
It’s hard to believe that this is the penguin. Literally a different person down to the voice. It’s crazy
Colin in Phone Booth is one of the most insane performances I've ever seen. This man is really good at acting.
💯💯💯
She’s beautiful and charismatic! He is really a great actor! They both did a great job in Penguin 👏🏻
Big emphasis on the beautiful
Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti are both AMAZING in The Penguin. AMAZING! I’m so hooked and so impressed!
Will anybody acknowledge that Cristin is wearing a Tim Burton's Catwoman like dress? Majestic.
I came here to say the exact thing, nobody noticed the nod to Michelle home made cat suit, was also the scariest penguin i ever watched as a kid.
She could up being Catwoman. You never know.
@@fyorbanemaybe in Brave and the Bold, her universe already has a Catwoman
I noticed too! It's a shame Fallon didn't.
I came to the comments looking to see if anyone else had remarked on it. It looks amazing on her too.
I'll say it once, I'll say is 69 times:
No matter how much Colin Farrell is acclaimed, this mf is UNDERRATED as an actor. ♥
I LOVE him and Cristin so much in The Penguin. So badass. 🔥

My cousin said it 73 tims
I remember seeing her in an episode of Black Mirror and always thought, she is a great actress, I hope she gets more roles. And look at her now! 😮
Best show I’ve seen in YEARS. I’m a huge, huge fan. Nothing like it
This show is so good! I’ve been glued these first 3 episodes 👏🏻👏🏻
same here
Best show I have seen in 5 years. Acting, directing, pace, story, everything.
The Penguin is the best show out now. It’s so awesome and the acting is phenomenal
I got to say Friday night heist with Kevin hart and Samuel l Jackson is good and Tulsa season 1 and 2 is really good

Lmao I wish I was "underrated" like him
The Penguin is fantastic so far. Very dark, very gritty, a great portrayal of Gotham City. This is classic DC comics. Well done.
If Farrell doesn't win an Oscar/Emmy or whatever the top award is for this character then what's the point of the Oscars or whatever
Somebody! Please put Colin Farrell and Gary Oldman and a platinum script together. Please!
May I add Daniel Day Lewis too?
@@morganbrown392 Of course!
Please!!!
Colin Farrell better win something for this role. He's knocking it out of the park, with an incredible acting performance.
This man has been in the top game more that 20 years and jim just presented him like a newcomer to success 😅 In the penguin, it is not just the prosthetics I swear this man totally transformed himself in every way. Higher form of acting really. Respect. I think the story is pretty cliche but actings gets it to another level. I would say he should swipe every possible award for that.

I appreciate how he mentions his team's full name giving them full credit for their hard work! Love this guy and love the show!
The Penguin series is incredible

"The Penguin" and "From" got me hooked.
Cristin was absolutely phenomenal on the show, episode 4 wrecked me 💔👌👏
Spoooiillleerrrr
How’s that a spoiler I feel like all the episodes are messed up 😭
I started watching this not knowing that was Colin, I was BLOWN AWAY!!!

I cant look at Farrel without knowing Oz is in THERE! Greatest Actor of ALL TIME imo!
She has excellent story narrating skills with good sense of humor.
She played Sofia incredibly! Didn't know she would become my favorite.
Cristin crushing this role especially Ep 4 Sofia's story.
I like what they're doing with The Penguin. As a big fan of The Gentlemen, I love Colin's work. His transformation in The Penguin is sick though. The first time I saw him looking like that I was like "Wait, this is the dude who made Tom Cruise look like the average guy in Minority Report." Amazing.

It's crazy how this show is really good...I nitpick alot of things but it's very solid 9.3/10
So proud to be irish, he's incredible 🇮🇪
Colin Farrell, the charming king of Hollywood, the popular and talented movie artist, the ever-successful superstar ❤❤❤
Episode 4 was legit, must-see HBO t.v.

COLIN ! YOU PULLED THIS OFF EFFORTLESS!
She killed the role!!!
Cristin Milioti is 🔥🔥🔥 af 💯
Love him in everything Banshee - Sugar, old movies and new but I’m blown away by this performance. And yes the show is top notch.
Two seconds into it, I completely forgot I was looking at Colin Ferrell. This was the performance of a lifetime, extraordinary.
LMFAO THIS GUY SAID IT IN THE PENGUIN ACCENT 1:13
I swear, Jimmy says "me too" to everytime a celebrity says that loves something.
Jimmy annoying as hell
I know this has been said countless times, but Jimmy Fallon is one of the worst interviewers I've ever seen. It looks like he's struggling to speak constantly.
He's a millionaire. He must have marketable skills. What the fuck have you done with your life?
Yeah he is trash
I know. I know. Every guest on every show ever has rehearsed their little Bon mots and their big finish, ideally reflecting what a humble thankful regular Jo Schmo of a real person they are anecdotes, and he.... just constantly interrupts, knocks them off course and then ruins the timing of the tale. Appalling faux laughter and fake interest in his guests he has.
I just don’t see anything wrong with his interviewing
Dude, him bringing up her failed audition to a movie she really wanted to be in was not a good move.
Best series ive seen in ages
I love Milioti in the Penguin. Reminiscent of Tomei in Cousin Vinny. I miss her.
Of course he will get a nom for Emmy, but Milioti better get one, too! Amazing nuanced performance every episode!
I said to my wife while watching The Penguin, i cant see Colin Farrell at all, no part of him looks like him at all. She said " huh? . Where is he? " I told her hes the Penguin, she was stunned. Not even the eyes look like his, its crazy.

Show of the year without a doubt. I think it's the best since Daredevil. Best actor - Colin Farrell. Best actress is Cristin Milioti without a doubt. She's incredible.
Christen likes rhe batman universe so much that she dressed like Michelle Pfeifer's Catwoman :P
I noticed that!!!!😍
Yup! Classy choice. Looked great! That woman can dress. In interviews for the show, she's wearing this sleeveless high-necked dress that looks almost like a millipede shell. Creepy and magnificent.
Man deserves more. More power to him. 💪🤴🤘❤
the cast in the Penguin is so good i love the show !
Any chance the apartment building manager from the 80s was the same one telling Chris Tucker in Rush Hour 2 how to say gefilte fish??? 😆😆😆
This the one ☝🏾 😂😂
I immediately thought of that 😂
These two needs to get nominated
This show is... SO FREAKING GOOD!
Colin is extraordinary in this. Absolute talent.
Colin and Cristin are fabulous in this show
Farrell is f'n incredibly underrated.. so much respect for this guy
4:52 rush hour
Both are locks to win an Emmy
I still can’t believe how this guy right here is the Penguin. Just watched the latest episode and I can’t imagine how this is the same person.
