The Penguin on HBO

We watched the first 3 episodes and are calling it quits. Acting is good, especially Cristin Milioti, but Colin Farrell seemed to be constantly channeling Tony Soprano, which I found annoying. Great production values too. It’s just that I don’t give a damn anymore about anything in the “super hero” universe and it’s difficult for me to suspend my disbelief with this genre which leads to boredom and disinterest. My age is showing…lol

And HBO keeps posting on Facebook comparisons between scenes in The Sopranos and The Penguin.
I'll keep watching for now, mainly for Cristin (absolutely the best acting on the show).
