The Penguin

I thought it was good, not great, not one to watch again really but it is good for sure. Going to go against the grain here but wasn't convinced by Colin's acting in this, I thought it was good but also overly awkward, although perhaps that's what he was going for? I dunno. I thought Sofia was the stand out, really well acted with some tough scenes at that.
 
It was a great ending, but it had a few weird miss-steps, such as:

Oz freeing himself from the chair and managing to escape.

Sofia's relationship with the doctor. Where did he go in this episode after the chair scene? Then he was suddenly her doctor again at Arkham Asylum.

But an excellent series on the whole and I hope we might get more TV series in this version of Gotham, even if Penguin isn't front and centre. Matt Reeves has sort of hinted at this and I presume this series has done very well in the ratings? I know the reviews were very positive.
No doubt they'll try too hard in the second series. I'd rather rather left it and tried to do that same type of show for a different character and different cast.
