The October 6 episode of The Penguin introduced a new drug to Gotham, paving the way for a criminal conspiracy with dark motives. The drug is named Bliss, and is created from the spores of a mushroom that secrete a red liquid, turning into an addictive substance. As Sofia Falcone gave a layout of her plan to Oz, he realized that the drug was aimed to be their strategy to reach the top of Gotham's crime scene. Sofia likely planned to get the population of Gotham hooked on the drug and solely regulate its supply, making her one of the most resource-laden crime bosses in the city. The drug has also been mentioned in the original DC Comics as a dangerous substance. However, it remains to be seen how the storyline of the series deals with this new element. It is possible that the show might choose to add more dangerous side effects to Bliss, making it a more formidable weapon in the wrong hands. What is the Bliss drug in the newest episode of The Penguin?

It is a red-colored substance, which has come under Oz's radar after the death of Carmine Falcone. His daughter Sofia takes Oz to the Bliss manufacturing warehouse where he sees the whole process behind the drug making. In the DC Comics, it is revealed that Bliss is made by fermenting a fungus that gives out a red fluid after the process is complete. The drug is not a poisonous one, rather, it is a slow blood thinner and has anticoagulant properties. This means that prolonged usage would result in the victim's injuries not being able to heal, proving to be fatal in the long run.Also read: The Penguin: Complete list of songs featured in The Batman spinoff seriesWhat is The Penguin about?
