The Penguin Episode 4 Breaks a Record For The Series

Key Takeaways

  • Episode 4 was a standout, attracting 1.7M viewers to The Penguin.
  • Episode 4 holds the highest-ever IMDb episodic rating for The Penguin.
  • The Penguin series has been a hit for HBO, signaling the potential for Emmy nods next year.

As a seasoned gamer and avid fan of all things DC, I must say that The Penguin has truly captured my attention with its gripping storyline and impressive performances. Having binged through the first four episodes on Max, I can confidently say that Episode 4, “Cent’Anni,” was a standout for me. Not only did it attract an impressive 1.7 million viewers in the US, but it also holds the highest-ever IMDb episodic rating for The Penguin with a remarkable average score of 9.5!

The Fourth Episode of ‘The Penguin’ was particularly impressive for the entire series, as indicated by various significant performance indicators. With the HBO series concluding after eight episodes, this midway point turned out to be a record-breaking high for the television program.

In the world of “The Batman” created by Matt Reeves, Colin Farrell reappears as Oswald Cobblepot, a character he initially played. Unlike his eventual villainous role in DC’s Rogue Gallery, at this stage in the storyline, Oswald is not yet fearsome, but is working towards that status as he maneuvers among Gotham’s warring crime families following the Riddler’s attack on the city. Cristin Milioti’s character, Sofia Falcone, also plays a significant role in this series. She is presented as the daughter of a previous “The Batman” villain, Carmine Falcone, and her journey to becoming known as The Hangman is explored in episode 4. This episode delves into Sofia’s time in Arkham Asylum and explains how she acquired this name. The climax saw Sofia exacting brutal revenge on the Falcone family in a dramatic finale.

The Penguin Gains Impressive Numbers

So far, not every installment of “The Penguin” series on HBO has been aired, but Episode 4, titled “Cent’Anni”, has already set a new benchmark. As reported by Collider, this particular episode attracted 1.7 million viewers in the U.S., which is 100,000 more than the previous week’s episode that garnered 1.6 million. Moreover, it surpasses other milestones as well.

Episode 4 of “The Penguin” is currently the highest-rated episode within the series on IMDb, boasting an outstanding average score of 9.5 from a whopping 12,000 reviews. To put things into perspective, Episode 3 of the same show comes in second with a solid 9/10. This exceptional rating places Episode 4 of “The Penguin” among IMDb’s top-rated episodes ever and on par with notable entries such as the finale of “Succession” (Season 4, Episode 10) and Zendaya’s award-winning performance in “Euphoria” Season 2, Episode 5.

As a dedicated gamer (and fan of The Penguin series), I’m curious if this show can keep its outstanding viewership for the next four episodes. It looks like Robert Pattinson’s Batman won’t make an appearance, but it seems that The Penguin is holding its own without the allure of the Dark Knight. A mid-season sneak peek hints at a fierce conflict between Oz and Sofia, with Sofia aiming to avenge her brother Alberto Falcone’s death at the hands of our beloved Penguin. Even though we know Oswald Cobblepot becomes a notorious mob boss in DC Comics, it seems his journey won’t be a walk in the park in The Penguin.

You can watch the first four episodes of “The Penguin” series right now by streaming it on Max. Fresh episodes air every Sunday evening at 9:00 PM.
