Season 1 Review: Rogue is trash, but thanks to Newton, it's delightful trash. [5 Apr 2013, p.62]

St. Louis Post-DispatchGail PenningtonApr 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: When Thandie Newton is on screen in Rogue, it's tough to look away.... Other than Newton, though, Rogue is a disappointment in the early going, more tedious than thrilling. Read full review

Sioux City JournalBruce MillerMay 29, 2013
Season 1 Review: Frequently, the mixed signals cross and Rogue seems unhinged. Stick with it, though, and you'll be rewarded with some nice moments that justify an unwieldy script. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenApr 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: Rogue starts to become a little more intriguing [by the second episode], but the show only gets to that point after the clichéd set-up and almost two hours spent with a self-destructive lead character. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineMatt RoushApr 3, 2013
Season 1 Review: Rogue has all the attributes of pay cable--rough language, extreme violence and no-kidding graphic sexuality and nudity--but little of its depth and nuance. Read full review

VarietyBrian LowryMar 28, 2013
Season 1 Review: Other than having an African-American woman as the protagonist, though, this feels like any number of similar movies and series, where cops must decide how far they’ll go (do cocaine? Shoot a guy the boss has tied up?) to protect their cover and get the job done. More fundamentally, the show’s naughty bits feel particularly gratuitous. Read full review

People WeeklyTom GliattoMar 28, 2013
Season 1 Review: Thandie Newton is intimidatingly fierce.... The problem is everyone else. [8 Apr 2013, p.45]

Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniApr 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: Over-boiled, over-violent, and overly abundant with sex scenes, Rogue is sure to click with hardcore cop-thriller fans who care less about plotting and characterization than the bang . . . bang . . . bang. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterTim GoodmanApr 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: There’s something plodding and portentous about Rogue, as if it were trying especially hard to be taken seriously, to have the ballast needed to compete with other serious cable dramas. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleDavid WiegandApr 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: The performances run the gamut from woeful to out-and-out terrible, but in some cases, you can't blame the actors because no one is sufficiently talented to deliver the lines of creator Matthew Parkhill's script with even minimal credibility. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesMary McNamaraApr 3, 2013
Season 1 Review: Rogue is pretty terrible, a moody, broody jumble of clichéd characters, pregnant pauses and sex scenes that border on the pornographic. Read full review
