He goes from being nothing to being something than dying as another meaningless nobody even with all he accomplished.

He knews too much to let be alive and could then be a problem in the future for the new "respectable" Oz. Also, the first thing he said that made me fell real worry for Vic (before the family thing) was when Oz said to him that he would never had though of bringing Link into the flod, that was a smart move he wouldn't even thinked of... For me, that also mean for Oz to think that Vic could be a treat for him in the future since he learned pretty good and maybe take is place as the boss in the future, wich is a no-no for Oz. Well, we can see that Oz had a lot of reasons to kill Vic in the end, he had to ties all the looses end...

    Sofia could’ve easily been a character who exists to be in another bait and switch show by overshadowing Oz, but they included her the best way possible by having her be Oz’s antithesis in the criminal underworld. She has a sympathetic background, Oz doesn’t. She’s a woman of her word, Oz is manipulative. However, they both start from the bottom and have similar senses of ambition. Neither are good people, but compelling villains in their own right. Who should be rooted for is entirely up to you.

    Remember the line from Francis Cobb in Ep 7: "Yeah. Well, some people are easy marks"
    That perfectly alludes to a lot of the audience falling for the penguin's "underdog" facade. Many excused all of the heinous shit he did throughout the series right up until he killed Vic and were like "Wow. Fuck Oz!" Even though there are plenty of examples prior (gutting Ervad, ratting on Sofia which gets her sent to Arkham, burning Sal's wife and son alive and smiling about it, letting his brothers drown in the tunnels and protecting himself in that very spot from Sofia's bomb while not warning any of his men) so many people still acted so surprised Penguin mercilessly killed Victor. He played so many of us like a fiddle throughout which is what makes a man like him so dangerous. I personally switched sides by Episode 4, but I believed there was still some redeeming qualities about Oz, but by the end of the series, any sense of humanity in the Penguin is gone and we will root for him getting a can of whoop-ass by The Batman.

    I saw the ending coming, as far as how Oz's mother and Vic went, but it was still a true pleasure to watch both those scenes! After having sacrificed his own brothers as a child we saw that he would eventually destroy any "family" that genuinely cared for him. That show wasn't perfect, but damn it was great to watch!

    I enjoyed watching the penguin win, but I wouldn't say i was cheering for him, in fact I loved seeing pay offs on both ends of things. seeing him get what he has coming but also seeing things that he set in motion pay off for him later. Really satisfying to watch.

    My husband and I were watching, and … that ending … my husband suddenly said “I don’t like him anymore,” about Oz.
    Perfect anti-hero to villain moment.
    Our goodwill perfectly, dramatically …. spoiled
