HBOβs Best New 10-Part Comedy Is the Perfect Weekend Binge
No creator in television right now is on a hot streak quite like Bill Lawrence, who has become synonymous with βfeel-good comedy.β Lawrence is in the midst of revitalizing his classic series Scrubswhile continuing his work on Ted Lasso,Shrinking, and Bad Monkeyfor Apple TV, proving that there is still room for traditional episodic sitcoms in an era where the format is often called on to be βelevated.β Lawrenceβs storytelling style might not seem like the perfect fit for HBO, a network that has often tried to push its creators to achieve a level of ambition and quality on par with cinema. However, Lawrenceβs latest show, Rooster,is the biggest original comedy show on HBO in over a decade. Although Rooster might seem like it has a straightforward premise, it's a well-written, genuinely emotional dramedy about second chances and new beginnings.
