Rooster: Season 1

"A charming work in progress."

"Rooster belongs at the top of your must-watch list this season."

"A show that may just be your new favorite comfort watch."

"Carell is savvy enough to root each preposterous statement or action in something true to his character. It’s a performance worth reveling in."

"Carell lifts the comedy up a level, making this an unusually laugh-out-loud Lawrence outing."

"Charming campus comedy."

"Boasts a stellar cast, but can’t figure out what it wants to be."

"Thrives on the tension between Carell’s self-deprecating likability and Greg’s relative boorishness."

"At once charming, incisive, and laugh-out-loud funny."

"Dated and uninspired."

"An instant comfort watch with a solid foundation, incredible star power, and real promise."

"Perfectly pleasant, but you can’t escape the feeling you’ve seen it all before."

"If you miss The Office's Michael Scott, Rooster offers a more pleasant version of him."

"Low stakes, soft-edged, humane, basically gentle, a little fantastic, a little farcical, well cast and well played in every instance."

"Blissfully awkward."
