He's a very decent pilot. I didn't expect anything good from the Batman butler series at all, I thought it would be something like Gotham in a bad way. and here everything is more than at the level of decent TV series. and the plot, and the actors, and the scenery. I hope it won't get any worse.

@iken: Check out Agent Carter, about Captain America's girlfriend. I kind of started watching mediocrity out of curiosity, too, and I really liked the series.

A great start. A new high-quality series has arrived, which perfectly conveys the atmosphere of that time. Pennyworth's mom and dad didn't miss how they kicked at the end of that mustachioed one))) Well, the music also pleased "Paint it black"!

If you look closely, the actor who plays Alfred even looks like Michael Gough. The shape of the nose, eyebrows and even the receding hairline are the same)) You can see which Alfred they were targeting.

To begin with, it's visually very aesthetically pleasing and atmospheric. These London landscapes are magnificent.
Hopefully, Pennyworth won't be as disturbed by memories of the war as they usually are in war films.
Why is it that in many TV shows and movies people don't mention a specific meeting time, but they still arrive almost the same way? I think showing the time assignment won't take much screen time.
It's always been fun when guys with guns attack an opponent only in close-range combat.
As it is, the pilot is very strong.
Finally:
Are you Thomas Wayne?
- no.
* points a gun at Thomas*
"I'm Thomas Wayne."

@iamlenin: the first Batman comics came out in 39, so the time is any)
and the age is quite normal, it doesn't take long to have a child, Bruce is usually 8 years old when they are killed.

Bloody hell! It's so british!
I didn't think I'd be watching the story of the famous butler after Gotham, but I decided to take a peek anyway and was amazed - the mannerisms, style, aesthetics, farce, pretentiousness, and everything in moderation, even the action was delivered. I should note that Alfred is recognizable in the actor, especially for his audacity and arrogance, but he also has decency and good manners, I'm afraid he's too young for ten years of service, it doesn't look like he's under thirty, to be honest, but this is absolutely not a critical moment.
Next one, please.

@PianoOnTheLake: I'm a little younger than the actor, but on the contrary, they give me more for a few years and are surprised that I'm not even 30 yet, which is why there was a dissonance in the perception of age)
by the way, I don't consider thirty-year-olds to be old men)

@v3st1az: as they say in the famous hoax:
"An old man about 30 years old entered the room" (c) eighteen-year-old Pushkin about Karamzin.

But first of all, when Pushkin was 18, Karamzin was 49, or something.. And secondly, he never wrote such lines.

But the phrase is still great.)

It's a great series. It's easy to look at, the plot is exciting, and the actors play well. And most importantly, there is no Anglo-Saxon gloom of hopeless, optimistic) I recommend it for those who do not expect a deep philosophical cinema from the forerunner of Batman.

I really like it visually. And the actors are good, the characters are colorful. It looks really interesting. But one point remained unclear to me personally. As I understand it, the actions in the series are stretched over several days, but during this period, Alfred and Esme went from walking in the park to "I love you," meeting their parents, and then "no, we can't be together." It's too fast and unnatural. (for me personally)

@polinanovember: Two weeks passed only between the attempted murder of Wayne and the abduction of the girl. And by that time they were already sleeping together. It could have been a month or a little more. Introducing parents after a month of relationship- why not?
