This was okay. All felt a little predictable. Like no one had a story they were burning to tell about The Penguin so they just stitched one together out of the kinds of things you might see in a crime story.

The mob boss’s son being unqualified to take over. The domineering mom. Playing two families against each other. Yadda yadda The Penguin.

But I’d like to see more Cristin Milioti.

Grateful for the week and half between episodes as it gives time for word of mouth to spread and viewers to catch-up.

Apparently film critic Amy Nicholson is hosting the series' official after show podcast. Unsure if I'll be watching the series, kind of hooked on LOST at the moment, but I'll definitely keep abreast of what's happening through pods and of course Episodic Medium.

The Low Winter Sun addendum really got me.

Appreciate the review! I'm patiently reading along and hoping this series will pay off and be worth the watch rather than be The Batman presents: the optional extra credit assignment.
