About
If you enjoy gritty, British-flavored DC prequels with lots of violence, romance, and political intrigue, Pennyworth may hit—Not for you if you want the story to move quickly toward Alfred becoming the Butler, or if you dislike darker, crass dialogue like in Gotham.
Pros: enjoyable characters; strong British setting; stylish tone | Cons: slow to reach premise; plot direction feels off; heavy crassness
