The Penguin
9pm, Sky Atlantic
Another journey to Gotham, this time in the company of the Penguin – one of the Batman universe’s most compelling villains and played here by a prosthetics-laden Colin Farrell. It’s a moody and sinister affair – after the death of a mob boss, the Penguin attempts to infiltrate his family. Farrell’s Penguin is ruthless but with a certain submerged warmth, too, as evidenced by his decision to take stammering street hood Victor (the excellent Rhenzy Feliz) under his wing. Phil Harrison
