Epix's Pennyworth is a fantastic new edition to the Batman mythology that doesn't use its connection to the Caped Crusader as a narrative crutch. Creators Bruno Heller and Danny Cannon wisely center their story on Alfred's coming-of-age journey, while surrounding him compelling supporting characters like Thomas Wayne and the villainous Bet Sykes. The alternate 1960s London backdrop adds to show's unique look, setting it apart from many of the comic book show we've seen on network TV.

trailer looks weak

I didn't expect much from the trailer, but was pleasantly surprised. The first episode was pretty good.

The show is actually really good so far. I had difficulty finding anything worthwhile to watch after The Boys in the past couple of weeks, but this fits the bill nicely. Too bad we have to wait a week for each episode to come out.

The episode leaked a week early.
