The finale of “The Penguin” titled “Great or Little Thing” has been praised for its unexpected twists and fresh storytelling. The series successfully avoids overt fan service, instead delivering a unique and engaging narrative. The tone, characters, and aesthetic of the series have been well-received, drawing comparisons to Matt Reeves’ “The Batman.”
The finale leaves audiences excited for the upcoming sequel, “The Batman Part II,” as it sets up the storyline and adds significant lore and backstory to the DC universe. The final shot of the series almost literally passes the baton to the sequel, creating anticipation for what’s to come.
Despite some heavy-handed moments, the finale effectively concludes Oswald Cobb’s story while maintaining his character as a villain. The series never tries to paint Oz as a good guy, making it harder for the audience to root for him. The ending leaves a bad taste in the mouth, highlighting how Oz’s quest for power has driven him to become his worst self.
The pacing of the finale is noted as a weak point, with some meandering moments before reaching the impactful scenes. However, the overall execution of the story and character interactions have been consistent and satisfying.
