"Pennyworth"
Pennyworth
Also known as "Housekeeper" | 10 episodes in total | Single episode 60 minutes
Speaking of Pennyworth, you may not remember it for a while, but if you talk about Fu, or the housekeeper, you must know.
"Pennyworth", also known as "A Fu", also known as "The Butler".
Shortly after the end of Batman's prequel "Gotham", the spin-off "Pennyworth" of "Gotham" came to take over.
And it was created by Bruno Heller, the producer of Gotham.
The protagonist Alfred, whose full name is Alfred Pennyworth, is the butler of Batman's father Thomas Wayne, the core figure in the Bat family, and the strongest butler in the DC universe.
After the murder of Thomas Wayne and his wife, Alfred raised Batman alone and was the most trusted person by Batman.
However, in the movie "Batman" series or the TV series "Gotham", Ah Fu appears in the image of an old man, and his life experience is also mysterious.
However, in "Pennyworth", the young Ah Fu appeared, and he was a mess.
The story is set in London in the 1960s.
Thomas Wayne, aka Batman's father, is described as "a young, childish billionaire from the East Coast, confident and extremely disciplined, this young aristocrat meets an unexpected partner-- Pennyworth".
Pennyworth, on the other hand, is "boyishly handsome, cheerful, charming, intelligent, sincere, moody, and you wouldn't think he was a special forces killer."
Their meeting started in a nightclub.
At that time, A Fu, who was young at that time, returned from the battlefield and worked as a "safety consultant" in a nightclub. However, the actual work content was only to open the door for others, and there was a small friction in the store to come forward to maintain it.
But the young Ah Fu was not satisfied with this. He also started the Pennyworth Security Company, although the company only had two of his comrades in arms.
A small incident in a nightclub changed his life.
Thomas Wayne's sister was unwilling to go home in a nightclub. Thomas Wayne wanted to take her away but was stopped by a gang of hooligans. When Ah Fu saw this, he cleaned up all the hooligans in one round.
In addition to being grateful, Thomas Wayne left his phone number to Alfred, and Alfred also gave Thomas Wayne his business card.
Unexpectedly, a small business card caused him death.
Ah Fu met Esme, a dancing girl, in a nightclub. The two fell in love at first sight. Between their comings and goings, they established a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, and they quickly met their parents.
However, Esme broke up after meeting her parents.
The reason is - Ah Fu is too poor.
Alfred, I love you very much.
But when I get married I want a house with a garden and you work in a nightclub.
I can't see our future and you can't give me the life I want.
Esme believes that A'Fu will not be able to give him a stable and happy life in the future, although A'Fu has repeatedly assured that he will definitely start a family and make a name for himself.
But Esme left him decisively.
Just after the two broke up at the woman's insistence, Ah Fu's ex-girlfriend was kidnapped.
The gangster demanded that he trade Thomas Wayne for his girlfriend.
Who is Thomas Wayne? Where did this inexplicable kidnapping come from?
A'Fu first chose to call the police. When he found it meaningless, he called his comrades at that time. With various clues, he finally found Thomas Wayne.
However, this Thomas Wayne is not a villain, but a calm and elegant young American rich man.
Moreover, Ah Fu had exchanged business cards with him when he was in a nightclub.
Only then did I know that everything about the kidnapping of my girlfriend was the fault of that business card.
But in exchange for his girlfriend, Ah Fu tied up Thomas Wayne.
And this is only the story of the first half of the first episode of "Pennyworth". The rhythm of the story of "Pennyworth" is also fast, without procrastinating the plot, and the amount of information is huge, and there are always surprising reversals appearing.
