“A Great or Little Thing”

What a gut punch.

The Penguin has been a spectacular crime show from the beginning. It has never felt like a comic book show to me, despite being set in Gotham with The Penguin as the protagonist.

Francis was going to have Oz killed because she knew what he had done to his brothers. The whole scene at the jazz club with Francis and Oz and Sofia was crushing. Deirdre O’Connell was sensational as the grieving mother unleashing an inner hatred she had pushed down for years.

The whole final showdown between Oz and Sofia was awesome, and it was very satisfying seeing Sofia returned to Arkham.

The hardest scene for me was watching Oz strangle Victor to death because Oz believed that having someone close to him would be weakness. The darkness inside Oz has truly transformed him into a monster, a true Batman villain, which is why the Bat-signal at the end was so appropriate. Shocking end for someone who had been so loyal to Oz.

This is my final time that I can say that Colin Farrell is absolutely amazing in this role. I can hardly believe that he is actually this character. It looks nothing like him. It is a tremendous performance that really is more than just the makeup.

Colin Farrell and Deirdre O’Connell deserves Emmy Awards and so does Cristin Milioti. Seriously brilliance among the cast.
