TV review: ‘The Rook’ paints itself into a grim corner


Just because the world could always do with more Olivia Munn.

By the end of the first three episodes of The Rook, a 2019 miniseries produced by Starz (of Spartacus: Blood And Sand notoriety), I found myself craving for something interesting to happen.

After an intriguing start, it hardly goes anywhere for quite a long time until it shifts gears and takes a couple of swerves in the fourth episode. And then the first batch of press screener episodes ran out.
