THE PENGUIN

Wow, this is really good!

What a fun use of Dolly's 9 TO 5 and When In Rome's The Promise!

Gotham City Public School Bus rides will never be the same.

I also liked it, off to a good start.

Premiere was an interminable slog... until Cristin Milioti's Sophia showed up and stole every scene she was in. Couldn't look away, I was transfixed by her.

Another solid episode.

I enjoyed the second episode a lot more than the premiere. Man, Milioti is just something else, can't keep my eyes off her. A perfectly modulated performance, which doesn't for a second fall into the common trap of going overboard – and thus into cringe territory – when portraying someone with a mental disorder. Gaga should be taking notes.

The beautiful Theo Rossi appears, what a pleasant surprise!

End credits song – Lana Del Rey's cover of The Turtles' Happy Together – was haunting and sublime.

First episode was FANTASTIC, the second merely pretty good.

Colin Ferrell is simply terrific in that latex fat suit, his performance is amazing. (I also love the performance of the actress of Oz's mother, who is suffering from dementia, and the relationship between the two). I'm really looking forward to the rest of the run - with some trepidation since it has various writers and directors (though the show-runner really seems on his game), and the writer of that first episode (Lauren LeFranc) won't return until the season finale, and the writing of episode 2 wasn't nearly as strong.

I completely forgot to mention that Shohreh mafuckin' Aghdashloo shows up in the second episode as well. And she's speaking Farsi! God, I love this woman so much.
