What do you think? Did you like The Rook TV show? Would you have watched season two of this Starz series?
I am so disappointed this has been cancelled. It has so much potential – what a bummer
I really liked it. I think others would too.
Loved the story line. The acting was just the right intensity. Sorry there is no series 2.
Liked it. Sorry there is no second season.
I loved it and I am sad it has been cancelled.
I loved the show!!!! Too bad it was cancelled. Would watch “2” since I have watched “1”twice.
A shame they butchered a great book and wonderful story Simply butchered the storyline
I loved The Rook and mist definitely would have watched season 2! I’m disappointed there won’t be one.
I’m so disappointed it was cancelled!!!!!
WHY???
Ffs….another Starz show I liked that got cancelled
Heck Yeah I’d have watched…. Brobably more than once We loved season 1
Amazing you took a show with enormous potential and threw it in the toilet.
This was yet another amazing show to be prematurely dumped by Starz , just like Sweetbitter. I loved both shows and couldn’t wait for the next season. If they’d released the entire season all at once, I would have binged watched them in one sitting because I loved them so much. Guess Starz let us all done yet again.
This should not have been canceled so early on. The show was fantastic and thrilling.
I find it so annoying that they’ll keep mediocre shows and good shows like this get dropped. The Room definitely deserves a second season!
