Show Notes
Rooster, HBOs new comedy series premiering this Sunday, stars Steve Carell as Greg Russo, a best-selling author whose books feature a tough hero named Rooster. Greg heads to a small college to support his daughter Katie, an art history professor whose husband just left her for a graduate student. When Katie accidentally burns down her exs house, Greg is offered a job as artist-in-residence to keep the peace and boost the schools profile. The show, directed by Jonathan Krisel, is light and kind-hearted, with plenty of awkward moments and slapstick, but no real meanness. Carell shines as the shy, nut-loving dad, while the cast includes strong turns from Charly Clive as Katie, Phil Dunster as her ex, and Danielle Deadwyler as the professor. Rooster feels like a gentle throwback with eighties tunes and low stakes, much like Ted Lasso, making it perfect for easy viewing.
