MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

drjgardner Season 1 of Rogue was top notch entertainment from the marvelous acting, great photography, excellent music, and most of all, a clever, evolving, engrossing script that manages to keep you guessing right up to the last episode. Thandie Newton (Condoleeza Rice from "W") gives a spell-binding performance week after week, and she is matched by Ian Tracey, Ian Hart, Joshua Sasse, and Marton Csokas. The real treat here is how well the supporting actors do, from sexy Leah Gibson to Claudia Ferri, and Rachel Shelley, but to me the scene stealer is young Sarah Jeffery who plays Thandie's daughter. Kudos to Matthew Parkhill in his first outing as a producer and special mention to composer Jeff Toyne and Emmy winning photographer Kieran McGuigan ("Bleak House").This series is not for the squeamish and there is a lot of murder, mayhem and nudity. Season 2 was a bit of a disappointment in every respect. although it did have its moments.Season 3 was a complete change of pace and may be startling for long time viewers as Cole Hauser (introduced in Season 2) takes over the leadership of the series. But don't lose heart, Hauser proves to be as captivating as Newton and the quality of the scripts, after an awkward transition, only get better.Season 4 is great - a challenge to Season 1. The final episode is TV at its very best.

PlatoSays It took two attempts to get to the end of the first episode - the over-acting and sweary dialogue left me exhausted and not in a good way. When most of the scenes involve shoulder rolling swagger and shouting, it's rarely a good sign in my book.It had real potential re the concept, but like Red Widow hasn't got it right. I preferred RW but its been cancelled. I'm not sure how Rogue can survive as its going up a blind alley very quickly re the characters/plot. It may be burning itself out deliberately as the writers know something we don't.Great opening credits and music though.

Amanda Rea i found it to be gritty and entertaining. Its a slow burner that gets better with each episode.Its kinda funny that the 2 leads are played by a Brit and a kiwi.but their accents are spot on, i hope it gets a 2nd season.Jimmy's character is also quite interesting. It would give more background if we got flashbacks of his life, before he became a mobster.Writers could also add more dimension to Grace's character by showing her life before the tragedy.Its violent and has just the right amount of nudity(frontal).I like the family dynamics of jimmy and his boys and crew.I would like to see how far they can take these characters, also like to see more of Alec, and his relationships, most especially with his wife.I would love to see more information about her.

jrobert859 I really wanted to like this show. It looked great with nice cinematography and a decent looking cast but then I watched it for 20 minutes. The cinematography ended up being repetitive and overly stylistic to the extent that it became a distraction. It seemed like all of the scenes were dark with overly done dramatic lighting. Great cinematography should not call attention to itself and after a shor time this does that all too often. The reason seems to be in line with this show's theme and biggest problems. Rogue wants to be this edgy stylistic show but fails miserably because it tries to hard to do that with not enough substance to start with.I do not mind the occasional f-bomb but when it comes as often as it does in this show laced with overly dramatic stupid dialouge it falls flat. Just because you can swear and get naked does not mean that you have a good show. If you are going to take me on that kind of a journey then at least have a reason to do it beyond cheap seansationalism. Just because you can does not mean that you should. F words and sex scenes do not make a show great and "edgy" and it looks like that was the driving focus for the creators of this show. We are going to do a bunch of stuff not allowed on network TV and critics will fall all over us for being edgy. Unfortunately they left out just about everything else that make a story interesting and engaging. By the way from several reviews I have read the critcs are not impressed nor was I.
