Colin Farrell as the Penguin is absolutely killing it. I mean, I’ve been a fan of his ever since Phone Booth, but seeing him really embody this character is something else.

Episode #3, titled “Bliss,” starts off with a flashback that gives us a glimpse into Victor’s life before everything went haywire. It’s a heartbreaking scene as we watch the tragic events unfold in Victor’s life. Rhenzy Feliz’s performance in this episode is just phenomenal.

Episode #4, “Cennt’anni,” takes us deeper into Sofia’s past and gives us a better understanding of her character. The flashback scenes are riveting, and Milioti’s performance is absolutely captivating. We learn about Sofia’s traumatic past and the challenges she has faced.

The interactions between Sofia and the other characters in Arkham are intense and emotionally charged. Sofia’s anger and determination are palpable, and you can’t help but root for her as she navigates this treacherous world.
