If Cristin Milioti doesn’t win a Golden Globe for The Penguin, I will personally lead a riot

Cristin Milioti has single-handedly turned HBO's The Penguin into How I Met Your Queenpin. It's one of the best TV performances of 2024.

I know why The Penguin hooked me in the beginning. HBO's noir-ish Batman spinoff is basically a mafia story -- never mind the comic book supervillain of the title, with all his quirks and extravagances. It's this storytelling sleight of hand that makes possible a dark and moody crime saga, populated by the outcasts and irredeemables of Gotham City. A metropolis which, at least here, is basically a fictionalized version of New York City.

She's underestimated, clearly unstable, and out for blood. And come the mid-way point of the season, she essentially pulls off a rebrand that will make your jaw drop, solidifying control of her family's empire with a move that makes clear she's the new big bad through the end of the season. Farrell is great in The Penguin, don't get me wrong.
