The Penguin Episode 7 Review: DC Rewrites Oz"s Origin & Makes It Better For This Batman Universe

HBO"s The Penguin is one of the most consistent TV shows ever made, not only in quality but in matching expectations. You can almost set your watch by some of the most familiar elements and, even after only 6 episodes, the seventh feels like a greatest hits compilation: a sharp burst of tragedy; Oz is confronted by his bad decisions; Sofia and Sal plot his downfall; death; Oz hits an all-time low point. But familiarity breeds no contempt for DC"s best live-action show.
As we head towards the end of The Penguin, Oz"s development from a low-level mobster to an actual kingpin has been impressively complex. Like The Sopranos, which has been the constant comparison point, Oz"s story hasn"t exactly been straightforward, and his consolidation of power has been made far more interesting by its obstacles as much as its progress.
