Talk:Pennyworth (TV series)

Premiere

Does the July 19 premiere at ComicCon count, or do we ignore that and only list when it premieres on Epix July 28? -- 109.76.135.14 (talk) 16:08, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Reception

Rotten Tomatoes has 7 reviews so far (score 71%), but as often happens the critics have not made it clear if they are reviewing based only the first episode, or if several episodes were released to critics. We can be certain they haven't watched the entire season even though you wouldn't know that from the way Rotten Tomatoes presents their TV scores (and unfortunately Wikipedia also presents the scores as if they really represent the whole season). Editors and readers should be careful and try to avoid reading too much into the Rotten Tomatoes scores. -- 109.76.135.14 (talk) 16:08, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

About Epix Schedule of Episode Titles

The schedule only show the current date which is misleading. It doesn't show the entire season schedule. — YoungForever^(talk) 02:24, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Click the icon next to the "current date" and you'll be presented with a dropdown calendar. Visit that calendar for the airdates and resultant titles. Proof: [1] 14.203.54.17 (talk) 02:27, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

So what if there is a drop calendar. It's not showing the whole season of the episode titles which is misleading. That isn't proof when it just show the schedule of that date. — YoungForever^(talk) 02:34, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

The requirement of navigation in a source does not render it unusable or unreliable. The source contains all episodes listed through the use of navigation to each particular date, and includes the date and title of each episode once listed. 14.203.54.17 (talk) 02:40, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

I am just going to wait for other editors in put on this. — YoungForever^(talk) 02:48, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

No worries. See you soon. 14.203.54.17 (talk) 02:49, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Replace that with The Futon Critic's listings as the table's column source, and there's no longer an issue. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:03, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

 Done— TAnthony^Talk 18:17, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Incorrect. The Futon Critic displays incorrect dates for episode 104 through 107. 14.203.54.17 (talk) 00:31, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Thank you to TAnthony for actually checking the dates given by the Epix source. They're different to the dates given by Futon. (Yes, I'm the same IP as above, I have a dynamic IP, before I get accused of socking (again).) 193.115.86.90 (talk) 23:58, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Who the hell is Alma Coogan?

All the titles are women from the 1960s, sort of. They are all real starting with Shirley Bassy. I can find links to all of them except for the one who's barmaid (who obviously has none) and Alma Coogan. Who is she? Arglebargle79 (talk) 00:46, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

The last name is Cogan, as in Alma Cogan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.91.185.211 (talk) 01:52, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Time period

The series actually seems to be set in a mishmash of the 50s, the 60s, and fantasy. "The Landlord's Daughter", for example depicts a public (and televised) execution, while the last public execution in the UK was in 1868. The method used was also never used in the UK. In the same episode Bet Sykes is imprisoned in the Tower of London -- the Tower's use as a prison ended in 1952. John FitzGerald (talk) 13:36, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Dystopic alt history is probably your best frame of reference: you'll notice that the news refers to Germany having a Reichskanzler and mention is made of a potential war with Scotland if the Raven Society have their way - just as the America that contains Gotham is a worse place than the one that contains New York, the England of Pennyworth is not exactly ours. Also, the method of execution looks to be a simplified form of hanging and drawing - which would fit with historical forms used in England until about 1870. 82.1.7.156 (talk) 14:42, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

American TV series but thematically British?

Although this may have American involvement in production, given its predominantly British, I suggest the term "American TV series" is given less prominence in the article. H (talk) 03:21, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Malay Emergency

There are no reliable sources connecting the show to the Malay Emergency. The show makes a single offhand mention of Malay pirates and that's it. Please don't add information about the Malay Emergency without a reliable source. Be aware that there are circular sources that copied Wikipedia, don't use them.
