Not sure there will be a season 2 - it'll roll straight into the Batman sequel.

Possibly the best written TV character since Walter White. Hats off to Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti in the lead roles.

The outfit! We got the top hat and tux!
Haha as Vic and Oz were sitting down I was wondering how Vic would be tied into future seasons/films. Got my answer not too long after.
Wonder how they would do season 2, does Batman go on holiday again?

This leads to The Batman 2 which is next up, don’t believe a season 2 is intended. However with how well received this is, anything can happen.

I'm not much of a superhero guy and so am not familiar with The Penguin or the Gotham universe, but I still found this series brilliant. Phenomenal acting from the leads and I was regularly caught off guard by the twists. Hope there's more to come!

What. A. Season.
If Colin Farrell doesn't win "the awards" then something is wrong.

It’s been a long time since I can recall such a comprehensive performance from all the actors involved. Whether leads or supporting, they are brought their A game and were impeccably cast.
I knew Farrell would be brilliant again. And Cristin Millioti from the get go was outstanding (her usage of her eyes in particular). As the series progressed, and more characters introduced such as Victor, they too were fantastic.
Oz’s mother, holy shit she was good. The young actor who portrayed young Oz for example, he too was phenomenal in his relatively short screen time. A brilliantly crafted series from start to finish.

Farrell also breaks down Oz Cobb's season finale choices, his method acting to stay in character and his 'The Batman Part II' future: "I do believe I know him better than anyone now."

Wow. Just wow. This show was so, so good.
I can’t speak highly enough of it.
I don’t know what I was expecting going in, but whatever I was expecting, wasn’t enough. It blew all expectations out of the water.
10/10.

I really didn’t enjoy the last ‘Batman’ movie, but jeez, I loved this!
If there is a follow up series, hopefully The Pengy sorts his deep seated mummy issues out.

Yes that would make sense. I was getting major Hugo Strange/Scarecrow vibes from him from the start.

Hopefully there’s more to it because the actor brought zero presence to the role.

The Batman being probably the best Batman movie I’ve ever seen into this. Amazing.
Farrell bloody smashed it. The Penguin going from slightly likeable to despicable by the end of it all. Watching him getting out of situations, playing people against each other and lying is basically 10/10 TV.
I called the ending with the Bat signal and Sophia ending up in Arkham but I had completely forgotten about the fact that he was always going to kill Victor.
Bring on The Batman 2!

Absolutely outstanding show.
One of the best I've seen in recent years. Gripping from the outset and throughout.

Finished it. Would give it a 7/10 which for me is a good show, but I wouldnt rewatch it. I feel it's a bit overated reading comments here. It's not groundbreaking or anything new, though the casting was very good which raised its watchability.
I would be interested in a 2nd season, but its not a top tier show for me.

Yeah agree, thought it was very good but not top tier. The two leads were outstanding, Farrell especially.
