[Game Guide] The Penguin Episode 6 Review – "Gold Summit"

[Game Guide] The Penguin has been a show flush with setup. Characters both new and old, storylines, and new bits of Gotham lore all had to be introduced to make the series fit within the newly minted Batman Epic Crime Saga. And that’s what long-form television is good for; it allows those smaller moments that wouldn’t have made it into a two hour movie to survive the cutting room floor. But I can only take so much “putting the pieces into place” before I start to get a little impatient. There are a lot of storytelling moments in “Gold Summit” that needed a place to fit into the larger story of The Penguin, and some outstanding character moments for Eve and Victor come out of it. But when there’s a cliffhanger ending to every episode that makes the promise of wild things to come next week, it can start to feel like we’re never actually going to get there.
