Highlights of Episode 4
- The Penguin episode 4 captivated 1.7 million viewers, marking a new high.
- Episode 4 achieved the top IMDb rating for the entire series.
- HBO’s The Penguin has been a significant success, paving the way for possible Emmy nominations.
The Penguin delivered a remarkable fourth episode, as evidenced by various performance metrics. This HBO series, revolving around the notorious DC villain, will consist of eight episodes total, with the latest installment reaching a season peak.
The Penguin Sees Incredible Viewership
Even though The Penguin has not released all of its episodes, Episode 4 has already set a new record for the series. Entitled “Cent’Anni,”this episode attracted an impressive 1.7 million viewers in the U.S., as reported by Collider. This figure represents an increase of 100,000 viewers compared to the previous episode, which had 1.6 million viewers. Furthermore, this latest episode has surpassed another notable benchmark.
Episode 4 of The Penguin is also the highest-rated episode on IMDb, boasting an outstanding average score of 9.5 from 12,000 user reviews. To put it in perspective, the second-highest rated episode is Episode 3, which holds a score of 9/10. This achievement places Episode 4 among the highest-rated episodes in IMDb history, ranking alongside iconic episodes like the series finale of Succession (Season 4, Episode 10) and Zendaya’s award-winning performance in Euphoria Season 2, Episode 5. Overall, The Penguin has proven to be a successful entry for HBO, with its premiere achieving unprecedented viewership without rival since The Last of Us, even outpacing other significant franchises like House of the Dragon. If its momentum continues, The Penguin is poised for possible Emmy nominations across multiple categories in the upcoming year.
The remaining question is whether The Penguin can sustain its impressive viewership for the final four episodes. Despite Robert Pattinson’s Batman not making an appearance in the series, The Penguin appears to maintain its appeal independently of the Caped Crusader. A recently released mid-season trailer showcases a fierce conflict between Oz and Sofia, who seeks to avenge her brother, Alberto Falcone, who was killed by her former driver. Fans are already familiar with Oswald Cobblepot’s notorious reputation in DC Comics, but The Penguin illustrates the challenging path he must navigate to reach that notorious status.
The Penguin episodes 1-4 are currently available for streaming on Max, with new episodes airing every Sunday at 9 PM.
