The fifth episode of “ The Penguin ” achieved the series’ highest viewership yet on Sunday, reaching 1.8 million viewers across HBO and Max.

Viewers don't seem to mind the lack of heroes on The Penguin: the HBO Original hit continues to grow each week and hit another series high.

The Penguin Episode 5, titled “Homecoming,” just aired on HBO and is now available on Max. In this episode, things suddenly turn for the worse for Oz (Colin Farrell), and he is forced to return to the impoverished area of Gotham City he once called home.
