Didn't know this stuff was going on, these people don't have Ag tags right? I usually only go through with sales on here with a tag.

Just flagged that scammer, I'd like to see the torture Penguin endured at the end of the episode to pieces of crap who use this message board to fleece good Ags. Total scum.
So here's the legit post that Kingmaster45 plagiarized so if anyone notices him on other threads keep calling him out and hopefully the mods take out the trash.FL_Ag1998 said:
So TC, honest question, I swear. This isn't meant to be smart ass. As an old guy who loved watching the weekly Siskel & Ebert show on WGN every Saturday, but doesn't do Twitter and wouldn't know any of the thousands of so called critics these days....all of these early reviews that you post, are they from known critic sources that you value, or just reactions from random Joe Schmoe "critics" that happened to have gotten an early screener?
Report him to moderation. I did that to the clown who reposted my post and was told to inform them if another username pops up doing the same.

Oh wow! Ok, I have two questions.
1) should feel flattered that he stole my post?
2) should I flag him for trolling or Copyright violation?
In light of past confusion, just a reminder that episode two premieres tonight at 9 PM ET, at which point episode spoilers will be fair game / we will no longer be using spoiler tags (for episodes that are airing/have just aired, not for future episodes/leaks).
Dang. Oz is hardcore
Just watched the first episode. Did not expect to be this invested this early. Really enjoyed it and I'm all in.
Nice follow up to the incredible premiere. I'm really enjoying watching Oz work both sides, and especially Sofia.
Also really liked the artistic touch of the opening "The Penguin" forming a beak on Oz at the start of the episode.

This show is so good
So this show is better than the reviews?
How similar is this to pattinson's Batman?

Enjoyed it thus far. The Oz & Sofia dynamic alone is excellent TV.
I'll probably rewatch tonight.

Aren't the reviews really positive?
I like how Vic is being used in this episode, like an incompetent henchman in over his head.
I think it's fairly obvious that Oz's mom is going to be what ultimately pushes him to be the kingpin of Gotham instead of working for the Maroni's or Falcone's.
I did think he was going to pin the knife on Viti, but it was smart of him to put it on Castillo and use Viti's dirt on him later.

The craziness of Sofia while also being a pitiful character is a really cool dynamic. She always has that unhinged look, where you quickly remember she's a serial killer for a reason.
The Industry season finale was so staggeringly good last night that I couldn't switch gears for The Penguin, plus it was late, so still haven't watched last night's episode, but this is beyond impressive…
Neat-o: THE PENGUIN appears to be a hit...The HBO series racked up 10.4M x-platform viewers for its series premiere, which debuted Sept. 19. The 1st episode stood at 5.3M viewers after 4 days of release, meaning about 5.1M more people watched in the subsequent week, reports…

Honestly went from maybe would watch later, to reading everyone's reaction and watching the first episode after a few days. Now I'm fully on board.

The scene with her cousin and the kid...wow

I remember seeing IGN's review and it wasn't great. Granted the RT score looks great. Hadn't checked it in awhile.
For context…
#ThePenguin premiere has racked up 10.4 million cross-platform viewers.

According to HBO, the show is outpacing every other current HBO series over a similar time frame, other than its two biggest ones: House of the Dragon and The Last of Us.

It's currently at 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, while the reactions I've come across have been overwhelmingly positive. Any negative review, like the IGN one, is an outlier. Heck, I think I've only seen one negative post in this entire thread so far, which is a rarity for this board.
Awesome, I've got it queued up next.
Gonna be hard to topple the high I'm coming off of from Industry S3

Exactly. I was all set to knock out Industry/Penguin back-to-back last night, but after that finale I just couldn't do it. It was too damn good. I'm finally about to start episode two of Penguin, though.
I was disappointed in the second episode. The pilot episode was phenomenal that took time to develop. In particular, I loved the Scorsese-esque scenes with the music and violence in the car chase to bus kill scene. The second episode felt rushed. The pacing seemed too convenient and filled with gimmicks. Instead of the complexity and deliberate unfolding that made the pilot so engaging, I was ready for this episode to be over.
Felt the exact opposite. In the best way, to me this show is like the mob version of the trope where the guy somehow finds himself on two dates at once, at the same location, and is having to sneak back and forth between them without either finding out. It's got that same, edge-of-your-seat energy, akin to the relentless, how-the-hell-is-he-going-to-get-out-of-this-mess vibe that Ozark (OZark?) did so well. I thought episode two was damn good in that regard.

Ha, exactly.
Enjoyed episode 2 more than the first. Looks like this is going to be a good show.
I hope we dont see much more of Theo Rossi's character, the therapist guy. Dude is an AWFUl actor. Bad enough to stand out on sons of anarchy as being the worst.
So for the Batman nerds here, have we seen any other villains or potential villains? I saw some chatter the therapist may be one.
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
Just dropping in to say this show is awesome. My wife watched it & had no idea it was a "comic book" movie.... she likely would have never bothered, but now she's hooked.
I think anyone sees a therapist they want it to be Hugo Strange.
Sofia Falcone is in the comics though as an occasional bad girl.

On episode 2. Colin Farrel is so ****ing good. Loving this already. Also Victor reminds me of a younger Weston McKennie. It's definitely the hair.

I'm doing a Luke Cage rewatch (during a rewatch of all the marvel netflix shows) and he is so bad in it. He tries to be intimidating around all these Harlem gangsters and you can't buy it at all
