Judy Berman TIME Magazine 1d
Rooster puts a slightly more prestige-coded spin on the Lawrence formula. Go to Full Review Aramide Tinubu Variety 1d
Despite its star power and creator Lawrence’s previous work on series like “Ted Lasso,” “Shrinking,” and “Cougar Town,” “Rooster” is a dull regurgitation of previously explored themes and figures Carell has portrayed before. Go to Full Review Chris Vognar Boston Globe 1d
“Rooster” thrives on the tension between Carell’s self-deprecating likability and Greg’s relative boorishness. Go to Full Review Nicole Gallucci Decider 1h
Even if it hasn’t exceeded the soaring expectations set right off the bat, the show is an instant comfort watch with a solid foundation, incredible star power, and real promise. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Tribune-Review 4h
Yes, Carell is the star and he’s great doing his usual comedic Carell-isms (goofy voices, awkwardness, many pratfalls, embarrassing gaffes, etc.), but “Rooster” smartly surrounds him with other characters who are just as funny, albeit in different ways. Go to Full Review Tim Stevens The Spool 8h
[I]t has at least earned my attention for the rest of the season. But unlike college students, it can’t afford much longer to find itself before I write it off. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
