I Thought The Penguin’s Finale Ended Perfectly…Right Up Until That Last Second Reveal


SPOILERS BELOW for anyone who hasn’t yet watched The Penguin’s season finale on HBO or streamed it with a Max subscription, so be warned!

Even after its first episode, The Penguin seemed destined to become a beloved standout amidst everything on the 2024 TV schedule, and the hyper-dark crime drama from showrunner Lauren LeFranc never stopped delivering on that promise. Indeed, the season finale “A Great or Little Thing” featured a smorgasbord of emotional depth with tour de force performances from Colin Farrell, Cristin Milioti and Deidre O’Connell, not to mention Rhenzy Feliz’s gut-demolishing final scene. For over an hour, this thing is a solid A+.

But if I may be so flagrantly dramatic (though without spittle flying from my lips), the finale’s uncomfortably perfect ending is nearly blown to smithereens by the show’s final connective tissue to Matt Reevesupcoming Batman film(s): the Bat Signal. But like, only 1.5 seconds of it, short enough that I really wish it hadn’t happened at all.
