The year 2024 has been quite fruitful for HBO, as the network has managed to deliver hits after hits in a row. Some of the shows have seen record breaking numbers, the latest one being The Batman spinoff The Penguin. The Penguin has managed to impress the viewers with its first episode itself, surpassing the numbers accumulated by House of the Dragon.
