I'm disappointed to report that the third season of Pennyworth has taken a devastating creative misstep, one that has single-handedly diminished the show's overall value. The writers' ill-advised decision to introduce a Wayne daughter, a character that never existed in the original narrative, has resulted in a staggering 4-star drop in my rating.
While the characters themselves remain endearing and entertaining, the writing in the last season has been nothing short of catastrophic. It's a shame, really, as the show had so much potential. Instead, the writers have made a series of baffling choices that have ultimately led to the downfall of the series.
One can't help but wonder what prompted this creative direction. Did the writers genuinely believe that introducing a new, unrelated character would somehow enrich the story? Did they think that fans would be oblivious to the blatant disregard for the original narrative? It's a mystery, and one that has left me, and likely many others, feeling disillusioned and disappointed.
It's time for the writers to take a step back, reassess their approach, and stop making careless decisions that undermine the very foundation of the show. The characters, the setting, and the premise all had so much promise, but it's been squandered by a lack of respect for the source material and a seeming disregard for the audience's expectations.
Ultimately, the third season of Pennyworth is a prime example of how not to handle a beloved franchise. It's a cautionary tale of what happens when writers get too big for their britches and begin to believe that they can fix what ain't broke. Newsflash: sometimes, less is more, and sometimes, it's better to stick to the original recipe rather than trying to reinvent the wheel.
