The Penguin Episode 5 Review: DC"s Batman Universe Has Never Been This Brutal

It was always going to be difficult for The Penguin episode 5 to hit the same stunning high of the previous chapter, but DC"s best live-action show continues to soar. Showrunner Lauren LeFranc could have been forgiven for easing off, but instead the story draws in even tighter to Oz"s precarious position, with a major development that sets up an exciting arc for the rest of the season.
This time out, The Penguin"s action snaps back to the present after episode 4 explored Sofia Falcone"s backstory. It"s very much a piece-setting episode, as you"d expect from the midseason point of any show, but that doesn"t mean The Penguin pulls its punches. As this excellent show continues to develop Oz"s story, it"s impossible not to be impressed.

Inevitably, nothing is as straight-forward as it seems, and Oz"s resilience and resourcefulness are both put into action. And at the same time, we get a real indication of exactly what Penguin can offer as a kingpin in one of the most memorable scenes in any DC release.
The Penguin Episode 5 Earns Its TV-MA Rating In Style Oz Cobb's Gotham Is Kill Or Be Killed Despite the kill count in episode 4, and the flashes of ultra-violence elsewhere in the season, "Homecoming" dials everything up by going for the jugular. Having built up Oz as a sympathetic character - or at least one with fairly understandable motivation - here we"re reminded that this is not a good man by any definition. The hard swerve from his almost tender request to Victor to take care of his mother because she "keeps him good" to his plan to deal with the Maroni family is jaw-dropping.
