I think at this point you could make the argument that The Penguin may be the best superhero show ever made. But that is assuming the fact that we can…still consider this a superhero show.
I would have agreed with this article until the last episode I saw, with Sophia in the Arkham asylum. It was a total tone shift. Every Arkham scene was completely cartoonish. I almost turned the show off, but then I cut it some slack, because ultimately these are comic book characters in a comic book setting and I could still imagine an interesting story.
I mean, you have to suspend disbelief. The rampant criminality is nonsensical, even with a corrupt police force. And Oz would have been a dead man long ago, pissing off those crime families.
