As someone who has a stutter, I think the actor playing Victor does an incredible job portraying it. You can tell the letter sounds he struggles with and to see him work through it is astounding! Also, loved seeing Oz get mad at the waiter for correcting Victor and for telling him to take up space! Taking up space and taking my time is something my family has said to me my whole life when they saw me struggling with my words 🥲
I have a stutter as well, it goes through phases of being better/worse. I think he’s doing amazing portraying it. I can feel it in my chest when he stutters, and it hurts. It’s done so well!
@@michaelmoore6855 exactly, like in more recent years I’ve learned to control it a little bit but when I see Victor go through it, it takes me back to when stuttering was all I could do
The actor playing Victor, Rhenzy Feliz, had a dialect/fluency coach on set called Marc Winski who has a stutter himself! They gave Victor his specific stuttering pattering and Feliz was also taught the psycological aspect a person who has a stutter has, with being insecure and going through your talking in your head etc. You can hear them talk about it in the penguins episode 3 podcast here on YT!
And they do write it like that on purpose. When they listed all that was wrong with Gotham, I expected them to at least mention that a madman dressed up as a bat was beating people in the streets or something, but not a word.
Well I mean he’s threatened to kill Vic like four times? I think it shows how broken Oz is that he thinks they have a good relationship. It shows how lost Vic is that he’s willing to accept it. Good character development, realistic, but not healthy . I really don’t think it’s going to end well for this kid
@@reinrose82 Oh yeah Vic is absolutely justified in his view of their relationship, just interesting how Oz sees it. And personally I hope the show doesnt do the obvious thing of killing Vic.
@@Mrs.Garrison69 Nah, not really. I've been in Orlando for over 25 years, and the last bad storm to hit us was in 2004. We have this one in a couple days, and it'll be back to business as normal soon enough. Hurricanes are the only natural disaster that gives you time to prepare up to a week in advance. Earthquakes, tornadoes, flash floods, etc happen out of nowhere.
I think the best way to describe penguin is that he is a lesser evil in a city filled with greater evils. And while he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty to attain his dreams, his dreams are almost admirable compared to the goals of the greater evil that surround his character.
When characters have internal conflict they can say things they kinda mean and kinda don’t bc they themselves haven’t fully realized their own truth yet. It’s so genius and the definition of characters making interesting choices.
On one hand Sofia is aware that she is not above murder and torture. On the other hand Sofia believes herself to be decent, “and I’m not the hangman” she says. Penguins means every word when he apologizes to her, but leaves her anyway bc he is a complex character. Not bc he’s a basic ass bitch who made one cool move but bc he’s got depth and he isn’t black-and-white. Vic is the most obvious. He wants to be good but also wants to get ahead. Most relatable content ever.
Stephanie Brown's dad was the Cluemaster, basically an in-universe Riddler rip-off who oddly enough was in the 2004 The Batman show, where he was voiced by Glenn Shadix who played the interior designer/spiritualist in Beetlejuice among other roles.
I kind of think this too, but does anyone else think he might have tried to strangle Sofia too at some point? Her clawing at neck in her sleep, her saying it might not end well for young women in this family, and her dancing on her dad's grave... It all doesn't sit right with me.🤔
@@reenilicious Yea, he tried to strangle her half sister (Catwoman) to death as well. It's safe to say he tried to strangle her as well, we just don't know why he would frame the murders on her.
VILLAINS especially, this is a great example of how to tell a story about villains without resorting to the Sony method of making them very dull anti-heroes.
Don’t forget, Oz killed a Moroni capo (Ervan I think was his name) while he was about to be interrogated by Sofia. I think that’s why the Moronis came after him.
This show is amazing, the performances are incredible. Sophia is intimidating yet very vulnarable given her current position. Cristin is delivering that perfectly with her performance. Collin is killing it in every scene. The intro sequence was so well done. You felt what Vic felt in that moment. Every episode has been captivating.
That beginning scene hit me hard. Like they set up so much in 5 minutes. Also, I'm pretty sure that the guy growing the mushrooms is based off of Mr. Bloom. His drugs gave people temporary super powers though.
"Everyone should be watching this show." YES!!! This is Such a Great Show! I'm often very picky in shows, but this? This is Not one of the greatest of this year, but one of the best of the decade (and I know this is high praise, but maybe even THE best of the decade so far)
This show is absolutely fucking peak. Dialogue. Atmosphere. Acting. Makeup! The goddamn writing boys. The show already really deserves MULTIPLE awards. IMO this show has crushed every other show this year easily and I'd put it ahead of everything last year too.
😎 Love you guys reaction ‼️ I watched episode 3 yesterday , and it was another BANGER ‼️ The show just keeps better & better , and each of the cast members are freakin' KILLIN' IT ‼️ Can't wait for next week to get here 🙌🏾🔥💯
The kid that plays viktor and is able to hold his own opposite to Farrell is insane; he’s going places and might I add too the way they depict his heritage though his family and his accurate stuttering impairment is representation done absolutely right
Got to give it to Colin, from rage to fear of being abandoned, we have seen so much on the Penguin for this show. Even if you took away the Gotham names, this would still be an excellent mob boss story. Oz recognizes that he has betrayed everyone around, but as he told Sofia, he was looking out for himself, wanted his own thing and he doesn't apologize for that. He doesn't have a fancy name; he is just him. Now, he has Vic, someone he is starting to see as a replacement brother. We haven't seen what happened to them, but when we do, I think we will understand Oz's feelings for Vic.
19:35 EXACTLY! Despite the consistent mention of Arkham, Gotham, and all the hints. I don’t think at any point during this show, “I wonder what Batman is doing right now”. That’s how compelling this feels.
Colin Farrell really didn’t need to do this man and for that I love him. Like the man is a film star and he’s doing 6 hours of makeup daily to put it all on and take it off with constant night shoots for literal months. He is also on screen for so much of the show and it’s so dialogue driven and I swear there’s been like 5+ monologues already he’s had to learn. Mad respect.
Between this and House of Dragons they are gonna get all the Emmys. I think Oz wants to be like the mob boss from when he was a kid. Be there for the people and help the people.
Sofia is not the hangman, because we know from the movie that her father was the one strangling women. It is implies that he made her take the fall for it as punishment for something unknown she did.
I absolutely adore the scene with oz and Vic at the restaurant. Especially the part where the waiter cuts Vic off while he's stuttering, and Oz stands up for him. The acting is phenomenal. Entire scene is hugely manipulative by Oz but you also get the sense that he sincerely cares about Vic in some way. He sees parts of himself in him
16:25 the music during the club scene because that is the same music the iconic Zemo dance from FATWS is playing in that scene😂something fun for Mr. Adam🕺
You know Jonah Hill is kicking himself right now for turning down this role in the Batman movie. I can’t even imagine anyone outside of Colin Farrell playing this role now. It’s like watching James Gandolfini making the role of Tony Soprano his own
I totally agree in that I forget it’s a Batman show every time I watch it. I’ve never seen the newer Batman, but I’ve always liked the penguin so I watched it just for this. It’s a whole thing in of itself that doesn’t need the titular character to work and it’s so great.
This show is SOOOO good! Not at all what I was expecting, but better than I could have ever hoped for. If Colin doesn't win that Emmy, we riot. I think the best way to describe it is that it feels like nothing is wasted: scenes, music, cinematic choices, dialogue, facial expressions. It's all very intentional in a way that reminds me of watching Breaking Bad.
The awesome part of the Victor backstory with the opening and PTSD flashback in the club is that it made The Batman an even better movie than it already was by showing the stakes and devastation of what Riddler did. This show is so damn great. I’ve dreamed of an extended Batman universe like this my whole life and I can’t believe I’m actually getting it. Thank you Matt Reeves.
I think that the show is amazing, but I also think that the majority of people are misreading Oz and his intentions. Oz isn’t a good guy. He thinks he is, and he is very good at convincing people that he is, but everything he does is a means to an end, even his seeming nobility. We saw that his mother’s toxic influence helps justify his behavior, accusing him of being a “pussy boy” for lashing out, then immediately spinning it for him into launching this complex power grab that carries the show. And every episode this nobility slips and he lets his insecurities take over; pointing a gun at Vic for believing he was ungrateful for their relationship, or when he appears to open his heart to Sophia only to immediately confide in Vic how they’re going to betray her, or out-right abandoning her at the end of this episode. And really that’s just credit to Farrell’s acting; his character is kind of breaking the fourth wall and doing to is what he does to other characters.
Ngl that scene with Oz talking to Vic, I might need to clip that shit for inspiration! And when he was talking to Sophia towards the end. Bro, the writing in this show, specifically this episode, was damn near perfect for what this they layed out for us
Oz telling off that waiter might be the most revealing of how much he cares for Vic so far. He's tough on Vic because he cares. But, no one else can be even slightly disrespectful.
This has never happened to me before while wayching a show, but the death of Victors parents literally made me pause the show and reflect on how sad it was
He is the Devil, it just so happens he’s in Hell so it works. Think of the characters place in the comics he’s very evil but he’s also a lesser evil than say Joker or someone like Two Face that at any moment could simply decide they FEEL like harming people. Penguin is at least someone who can be reasoned with. He’s not respectable or good. But he’s a human-highly highly flawed but human.
When Penguin was telling Sophia that it was worth it, Colin Farrell was KILLING that scene. I mean, he's been so solid all along, but that scene -- holy crap.
Actually, I’ve just realized the Penguins MO is almost red hood like he wants to control crime, because then it won’t run rampant. You can’t stop the crime from happening, but you can control when it happens where it happens into who it happens. Which means for the people that it’s not allowed to happen to, they are safer under the penguin then they would be under another boss
this may sound lil daft but Oswald is like mob Qui-Gon for Victor's Ani. i love their interactions. i love Oswald and Sophia's dynamic as well. very well written and executed show. here for it.
I keep expecting the ultimate tragedy to be that, despite the Penguin's fondness for Victor, he will absolutely sacrifice Vic if needed to complete his rise in the underworld. Oz has routinely, *repeatedly* shown his willingness to let the bodies pile up.
The way Sophia acts around Oz says so much. We know Oz betrayed Sophia somehow but she did not try to kill him on sight like she wanted to do last episode with her body guard. I get the feeling what ever Oz did got Sophia put in Arkham but kept her from being killed so she has mixed feelings about him. I don't know exactly how that is possible but that is how it feels to me. And it looks like they are setting up Oz and Vic to have a similar scenario occur.
First two episodes were great, did a great job at establishing the plot and the conflict and setting up the character dynamics. But holy hell, episode three was a powerhouse. Deeply emotional and deeply conflicted, not a line of dialogue wasted. And it left us right on the cusp of shit about to pop off. This series has been so much better than I anticipated, I didnt really have any expectations going in, but I've been pleasantly surprised with it so far.
Remember, Oz wants to be a respectable gangster, just like Rex Calabrese in the story he told Alberto. It's why for all he's a bad guy, there are still some moments that seem like he genuinely cares.
The Maronis may have *two* issues, one definitely, the other me speculating: 1. Their dude is dead. Oz was supposed to get him free and back to them. He's running around with a Falcone. Which, they can do that math. 2. He just gave them drops and now he's making a deal with the triad to push something that will take the market from drops. If they see him meeting with the Triad, they might not be putting the entire picture together put they can figure out he's making another deal that doesn't involve them.

@@shahilhassan9415the actor doesnt have a stutter tho, so that might just be coincidential and from being nervous.
He's a ruthless, back stabbing criminal, but dammit his heart and charm just reel you in
"I keep forgetting it's a Batman show" is a really good way of describing the show!
And they do write it like that on purpose. When they listed all that was wrong with Gotham, I expected them to at least mention that a madman dressed up as a bat was beating people in the streets or something, but not a word.
I really like how genuinely hurt Oz looks when realizing Victor views their relationship as a hostage situation.

@@reinrose82 Oh yeah Vic is absolutely justified in his view of their relationship, just interesting how Oz sees it.
And personally I hope the show doesnt do the obvious thing of killing Vic.
The opening scene of the floods was tough. The thought of a normal day getting wiped out out of the blue. No warning. No time to escape.
Literally happens every year in Florida, I still have no idea why people live here
No chance just lights out. The ocean itself may as well have come for them.

This show is so good, Colin's acting through the prosthetics is incredible.

Stephanie Brown's dad was the Cluemaster, basically an in-universe Riddler rip-off who oddly enough was in the 2004 The Batman show, where he was voiced by Glenn Shadix who played the interior designer/spiritualist in Beetlejuice among other roles.
Star Wars could learn from this show: this Oz-Vic dynamic is how you do “seduced by the dark side” and make it not come off as forced or contrived.
Not gonna lie, his speech was one hell of a sales pitch
Calling it now: The Hangman was Carmine and he pinned it on Sofia. Dude loved strangling women.
Ooh, that's interesting. You are probably right.
I kind of think this too, but does anyone else think he might have tried to strangle Sofia too at some point? Her clawing at neck in her sleep, her saying it might not end well for young women in this family, and her dancing on her dad's grave... It all doesn't sit right with me.🤔

This show is freaking amazing. Hey Sony, this is how you do side-characters.

Don’t forget, Oz killed a Moroni capo (Ervan I think was his name) while he was about to be interrogated by Sofia. I think that’s why the Moronis came after him.
Pretty sure it's because he 'used' the leverage he gave them. Vitti sleeping with the wife of the head of the family.
I really don't think they know Oz did it.
@@starhawk63 you could be right, although I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a mole that let them know their boy died before his interrogation.
Funnily enough in the comics Bliss is a drug that is derived from Poison Ivy's pheromones... (Euphoric and Submissive being Ivy's use for it.)
Who says it ain't hers here as well... (I'm hoping Arkham derived the formula from her somehow)
There was a recent beat where Ivy was cutoff from The Green, so she went scorched-earth and started using fungal powers derived from The Rot
Wait, it has comic book origins? 😮
Multiple Emmy nominations for this series to come. Cast, crew, writing, direction...
And ign gave it a 5 😂😂😂😂
I’m sure tons of people say this, but the guy that plays Victor would make one hell of a Miles Morales.
The bathroom scene and Oz’s apology to Sofia was the best written scenes of the entire year bar none 😮

Ah, the perfect (anti)hero journey. An opportunity to give up on the call of adventure just to turn around and "get in it now". Marvelous.
Exactly!!!
I keep picturing “Daddy the Calculator” as a Sonic the Hedgehog character
"He got put on speakerphone" is amazing😂🤣
Listening to the podcast, they had a fluency coach who has a stutter work with the actor who plays Victor.

When Penguin was telling Sophia that it was worth it, Colin Farrell was KILLING that scene. I mean, he's been so solid all along, but that scene -- holy crap.
I bet he left Sofia because Maroni spilled the beans on Penguin's deal with the Maronis
Adam would definitely be the “guy in the chair” in his hypothetical crime world 😂
It's Oswald Cobb.
Actually, I’ve just realized the Penguins MO is almost red hood like he wants to control crime, because then it won’t run rampant. You can’t stop the crime from happening, but you can control when it happens where it happens into who it happens.

Penguin is the definition of a king made from desperation.
this may sound lil daft but Oswald is like mob Qui-Gon for Victor's Ani. i love their interactions. i love Oswald and Sophia's dynamic as well.
very well written and executed show. here for it.
Big Daddy Calculator: You don’t wanna know him if you owe him!
Big Daddy Calculator, back out on the streets, committing sum crimes.
Colin Farrel can act man, he's terrific!!!
Love this show! Love your reactions!

I keep expecting the ultimate tragedy to be that, despite the Penguin's fondness for Victor, he will absolutely sacrifice Vic if needed to complete his rise in the underworld. Oz has routinely, *repeatedly* shown his willingness to let the bodies pile up.
That phone wasn’t used as a weapon it was used as a torture device 😂 god damn man.

I get the feeling what ever Oz did got Sophia put in Arkham but kept her from being killed so she has mixed feelings about him. I don't know exactly how that is possible but that is how it feels to me. And it looks like they are setting up Oz and Vic to have a similar scenario occur.
The big question is, are those mushrooms from Ivy?
Stephanie Browns Father was/is The Cluemaster, sorry if someone already mentioned that

Deeply emotional and deeply conflicted, not a line of dialogue wasted. And it left us right on the cusp of shit about to pop off. This series has been so much better than I anticipated, I didnt really have any expectations going in, but I've been pleasantly surprised with it so far.
As Oz and Victor drive away: nanananana Batmaaaan. 😃😅
“This is the Emmy episode” oh Jay wait just wait
Remember, Oz wants to be a respectable gangster, just like Rex Calabrese in the story he told Alberto. It's why for all he's a bad guy, there are still some moments that seem like he genuinely cares.
If Adam was in crime he’d be Too Organized Crime. Like, spending all of his time organizing, hardly any criming.

The Maronis may have *two* issues, one definitely, the other me speculating:
1. Their dude is dead. Oz was supposed to get him free and back to them. He's running around with a Falcone. Which, they can do that math.
2. He just gave them drops and now he's making a deal with the triad to push something that will take the market from drops. If they see him meeting with the Triad, they might not be putting the entire picture together put they can figure out he's making another deal that doesn't involve them.
