Colin Farrell Shines in HBO's 'The Penguin' as Gotham's New Crime Boss

The eight-episode series, a spinoff from 'The Batman,' blends gritty crime drama with unexpected humor, drawing comparisons to 'The Sopranos.'

Colin Farrell stars as Oz Cobb, also known as The Penguin, in HBO's new series set in Gotham's underworld.
The series picks up shortly after the events of 'The Batman,' focusing on the power struggle between the Falcone and Maroni crime families.
Critics praise the show's unique blend of dark, noir tones and surprising humor, which adds depth to the characters.
Farrell's performance is complemented by strong supporting roles, including Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone and Rhenzy Feliz as Victor Aguilar.
The Penguin's narrative and visual style draw heavily from classic gangster films, while successfully creating its own distinct world.
