Ep. 37 - Did ‘The Penguin’ Waddle Into Our Hearts?

In this episode of Decoding TV, David Chen and Patrick Klepek discuss the Industry renewal news, Paramount layoffs, and the new Disney+ and Hulu price hikes. Then, they dive into the season premiere of The Penguin and episode 3 of Agatha All Along.

What do we think of Industry and are we excited for another season? How will Paramount’s phase 2 layoffs affect their output? Will new pricing for Disney+ and Hulu wreak havoc on their subscriber base? What do we make of the return to Gotham with The Penguin?
