20 years after forever altering the landscape of dramatic television with The Sopranos, HBO has introduced its subscribers to The Penguin, a compelling dark crime drama with a similar tone and tenor. Based on the DC Comics character, The Penguin charts the rise and fall of Oswald Cobb (Colin Farrell), a high-ranking henchman for the deceased Italian-American mobster Carmine Falcone climbing the ranks of Gotham City’s criminal empire.
