I really wanted to like this show. It looked great with nice cinematography and a decent looking cast but then I watched it for 20 minutes. The cinematography ended up being repetitive and overly stylistic to the extent that it became a distraction. It seemed like all of the scenes were dark with overly done dramatic lighting. Great cinematography should not call attention to itself and after a shor time this does that all too often. The reason seems to be in line with this show's theme and biggest problems. Rogue wants to be this edgy stylistic show but fails miserably because it tries to hard to do that with not enough substance to start with.
I do not mind the occasional f-bomb but when it comes as often as it does in this show laced with overly dramatic stupid dialouge it falls flat. Just because you can swear and get naked does not mean that you have a good show. If you are going to take me on that kind of a journey then at least have a reason to do it beyond cheap seansationalism. Just because you can does not mean that you should. F words and sex scenes do not make a show great and "edgy" and it looks like that was the driving focus for the creators of this show. We are going to do a bunch of stuff not allowed on network TV and critics will fall all over us for being edgy. Unfortunately they left out just about everything else that make a story interesting and engaging. By the way from several reviews I have read the critcs are not impressed nor was I.
