In 72 Years, Only Two DC TV Episodes Have a Better IMDb Rating than ‘The Penguin’ Episode 4

As a die-hard fan of DC comics and series, I must say that “The Penguin” has truly outdone itself with Episode 4, “Cent’anni.” It’s not every day that we get to witness an origin story as gripping and brilliantly executed as Sofia Falcone’s. Cristin Milioti’s performance was nothing short of extraordinary, and the dark twist in her character’s backstory added a layer of complexity that left me speechless.


Everyone acknowledges that “The Penguin” series is making waves among both fans and critics, garnering widespread acclaim. It has undeniably become a resounding success for Max, and stands as one of the greatest comic book series ever created, a consensus shared by both critics and enthusiasts alike.

Out of all the episodes that have been broadcast, Episode 4, titled “Cent’anni,” has made the greatest impact. This episode served as a backstory for Cristin Milioti’s character, Sofia Falcone, revealing her intricate family dynamics, particularly her tumultuous relationship with her violent father, and detailing how she came to be in Arkham. The actress delivered an exceptional performance, leaving viewers utterly amazed by the episode.

Not only that, but Episode 4 of “The Penguin” has earned a remarkable 9.5 out of 10, making it the third highest-rated episode in the entire timeline of DC’s TV series. This exceptional score was achieved after more than seven decades, starting from the airing of the first episode of “Adventures of Superman.” Only two episodes have managed to surpass this with a rating of 9.6/10.

In summary, “The Penguin” has proven to be an outstanding series that captivates audiences. The narrative unfolds superbly, boasting a talented cast, and the overall style of the show receives universal acclaim. While every episode has its merits, Episode 4 undeniably shines brighter than the rest so far.

In the “Cent’anni” episode, we learn Sofia Falcone’s tale – often referred to as “The Hangman” in comics. However, a grim twist reveals that this nickname hides a deep, dark truth. Upon discovering this truth, Sofia is tragically caught up in the cruelty of her own family. Cristin Milioty delivered an exceptional performance, bringing authenticity and credibility to her character, adding another layer of depth to the already intricate narrative.

As a gamer, I’ve gotta say that the latest episode I watched was nothing short of phenomenal! On IMDb, it’s currently sitting pretty with a 9.5/10 rating – the highest in this series so far. But let me tell you, it’s not just about this show; this particular episode is one for the history books when it comes to DC’s shows. In fact, if I were to rank it among all the live-action DC shows since Adventures of Superman premiered back in 1952, it would come in third place – that’s how impressive it was!

It’s worth noting that while many adaptations have come and gone, “Cent’anni” has proven itself as one of the top-rated shows, with only two others having slightly higher ratings. These are “Arrow’s” “Lian Yu,” a tale where Oliver Queen engages in a final battle against Adrian Chase on the island of Lian Yu, rallying an unconventional team to aid him. And there’s also “The Flash’s” “Out of Time,” which follows Mark Mardon, aka The Weather Wizard, as he seeks revenge for his brother’s death at Joe’s hands in Central City. Meanwhile, Cisco discovers that Dr. Wells is concealing something.

Without a doubt, this success is something we simply must acknowledge, and we’re overjoyed to see that The Penguin is thriving exceptionally well.
