The Penguin

25Leave it.

A hustle with a body count. The lie is the charm. Leave it.

The review

Oswald wants a corner of a rotten city and will spend every person between him and it. The show is well made and morally simple: it likes him. His mother, his lies, and his patience are offered as character, which they are. They are also the method.

There is no town here worth keeping, and no moment where the story sends a real bill that sticks. If you already love the Batman pictures, you will be tempted to call this texture. It is a portrait of ambition with the conscience scooped out. Adults can look once. Do not let a teenager learn the grin.

The glance

Household and Piety and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Mayor of Kingstown

35 instead of 25

Mayor of Kingstown is still a crime show, and it scores 35 instead of 25. What you gain is household: Blood family, used as a firm.

The eight

6
Industry
He works. The work is extortion, done with care.
2
Household
A mother is a lever. No one is building a house.
1
Piety
Nothing binds him but the next advantage.
5
Courage
He takes risks that can get him killed. The risks are for himself.
1
Republic
The city is a rack. Every office is a customer or a mark.
2
Temperance
The pleasure is the scheme, and the scheme does not end.
2
Truth
The lie is the talent the camera stays on.
1
Stewardship
He leaves the block poorer than he found it, on purpose.

The review

Early on, a vow and a family name still cost something. Then the show learned that a shock would be clipped and shared, and it started writing for the clip. Weddings, children, and prisoners became the delivery system. The dragons were the brand. The people under them were scenery.

You do not need the later seasons to know this. The middle ones already prefer the clever monster to the dull man who keeps a gate. Adults who watched it can admit what they were applauding. Do not start a teenager on it and call the violence sophisticated.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

House of the Dragon

33 instead of 25

House of the Dragon is still a drama show, and it scores 33 instead of 25. What you gain is industry: Ruling is treated as a birthright, not a job with a standard.
