Rogue

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.

If you can just grin and bear the first season, it's worth it. Forget Thandie Newton's charachter, she's duller than dishwater and stupid with it, so just focus on Marty and Ethan and you'll enjoy it.

This drama is so well written, directed, and acted it is a refreshing out of the box drama not usually seen on network TV or the HBO's of the industry. This is an edge of your seat drama that grips you. What separates Rogue from other crime dramas, like the Sopranos, is the characters are so well developed that you understand their actions and motivations. The raw seedy underbelly of this type of show is an acquired taste not for everyone but for those people who like watching dramas on the edge this is for you. There are no weak links in the show and the predictability of what happens next is virtually non-existent. I congratulate the producers, DirecTV, and the actors for producing this high quality drama. I am hopeful there will be a season two.

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!!!

Starting off with a very shaky couple-three episodes (to the point you're seriously questioning why you are still in the chair).. but the initially very dubious acting settles down in the middle and towards the end of season one. But then the way they wrap up the storyline finale in episode ten is just so awkwardly amateurish, it's almost like they had no clue as how to end it. Not that there was an absence of previous implausibles (beginning with a ninety-pound Newton as an undercover cop), but nothing close to the head-shakers finishing S1. Then the setup and bridge between S1 and S2 takes an excruciating four full episodes. And up till that point the ensemble of new characters (including the lead actor) can't adequately carry any of those episodes. Honestly, they're all pretty boring..lacking a solid storyline, or any truly interesting characters (good or bad) for the audience to get into. They just come off as near four hours of fill to get back to the main story...(which once again turns out to be very thin). Also it's another in a long list of shows that willingly insult the intelligence of its' audience by readily feeding it premises that are not believable, or at best exceptionally simple-minded. Season one was somewhat effective, but the second is just a mess...and so poorly written, it just ultimately winds up being bizarrely stupid. The third season once again lacks interest.. and for many the end of the series comes near the midpoint (S3E4)..from that point onward there's little incentive to continue... minus a solid script, they're mostly void of any merit. There are lots of shows deserving second and more seasons.. unfortunately this is nowhere near one of them.
