TV Review: Colin Farrell's The Penguin is murky and wet — like Cork during the Jazz

Colin Farrell in The Penguin (2024)

The Penguin (Sky Atlantic and NOW) is dark. Not in the subject matter. It’s actually a plodding thriller about gangs looking to control the drug trade in Gotham City.

No. It just looks dark. It’s murky and wet all the time, like Cork during the Jazz Festival. That’s often the way in Batman movies, but the light there comes from panto villains and Michael Caine as a butler.
