Pennyworth is a British tv show based on Batman's butler Alfred Pennyworth. It's set in maybe the late 60's or early 70's. Alfred (Jack Bannon) and his buddies Bazza (Hainsley Lloyd Bennet) and Dave Boy (Ryan Fletcher) have returned from (Vietnam?) and are out of the army. As three former SAS they are looking to start a business as security consultants.

But business does not look good so Alfred and the boys take jobs from Thomas Wayne (Ben Aldridge) and later Martha Kane (Emma Paetz). London is in turmoil as two factions vie for control of government: the ultra-right Raven Society and the very liberal, though no less violent, No Name League. Thomas and Martha represent the No Name League though it quickly becomes obvious that Thomas works for the CIA who is wiling to back whichever side in order to prevent civil war.

Meanwhile there's the home life with Alfred's father, Arthur (Ian Puleston-Davies) who works as a butler, and housewife mom Mary (Dorothy Atkinson). There's a love interest, Esme (Emma Corrin), and various villains/allies like Bet Sykes (Paloma Faith), a top Raven Society agent, and local crime lord John Ripper (Danny Webb).

The show has a bit of punk feel at times because of the background music. It kind of reminds me of Sherlock, though it's more in tone and Britishness than topic. There's a season long plot and the ten episodes are fairly serial. The characters are interesting and I was entertained throughout. Overall a pretty good show.
