REVIEW: The Penguin – Episode 7, “Top Hat”
“Top Hat” packs in enough story and character development for half a season, but the writers of The Penguin keep it from feeling rushed. Admittedly, part of that is because it’s following a bunch of stellar episodes that made the characters complex and the story a winding road of plotting, po...
