Rogue

I don't usually get into TV shows but I watched the first episode and I was hooked. I don't normally watch much TV but I watched all 10 episodes in two days! 7 the first day and the other 3 the following morning!! It was fantastic. The twists and turns keep you wondering who did what! I fully recommend this show to anyone that likes lots of action and gut wrenching plots. The actors are superb and very believable. You can feel the tension! Grace/Jackie is torn between two worlds as she plays each person. Grace when she is a police detective and Jackie when she is undercover. Jimmy, the crime boss runs his crew with compassion and fairness. Alec, the black sheep of the family trying to win his fathers love. Max, the boy wonder. So full of education but no heart! I'm hoping they bring out another season!

This show is intelligent. It develops over time. Normally, I can sort out after 2 episodes just how it will end. Not this time. In general I assume these types of shows plan for season 1 and dig themselves an impossible hole to dig out of.

This show went the smart way and just did it right from the beginning - but you have to stick with it. Too bad the morons of the world gave it a 6. I would have said 8 but slapped a 9 on it to try balance out the idiots. This show is simply well done.

Granted a second season. I will watch, for sure. No idea where it will go. And that is a good thing! Hope for a 3rd!

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.

One thing is for sure, you just can't rate this with a 6 or a 7. It's definately a 9, maybe a 10 for me. And it sure is worth your time to watch all episodes back to back. Ethan Kelly makes everything look so simple from the moment he appears in the series, but without being the classic "i am the best and i can't be killed" american hero way. Cole Hauser at his top!!!

Based on the first episode I would have agreed with most of the other comments. I watched the second episode and then the third and now I'm hooked. The acting seemed weak at first and you wondered where it was going and if it ever would, it lacked something. The plot almost explodes in the 2nd & 3rd episode. Grace was really bad and I think she still struggles with her character at times. Rogue's plot is similar to Red Widow, woman with a family gets involved in the biggest drug lord in towns business. Bottom line is I don't particularly care where its filmed or what nationality the actors are as long as I'm entertained. I find Rogue very entertaining.
