The Rook
Is anyone watching "The Rook" on STARZ network?

I saw a trailer for it last weekend and it looked interesting. I think they are about 6 episodes in, so I would have to see if I can go back and binge the first part of the season.

Is it worth the time investment?

No spoilers please.

It's an interesting, one-off premise, but not an in-your-face action show. It operates on a more cerebral level, with emphasis on character development and intrigue.

I liked the book and its sequel a lot, and while the show is quite different, I’m enjoying it so far. It’s a welcome change from Marvel-type mutant fare. I hope the network and the audience give it a chance.

I watched them all this weekend; I'm hooked. I'll be very disappointed if there is not a second season.

I really like Adrian Lester who plays Conrad Grantchester, he reminds me of Sidney Poitier in his prime.
