I watched HBO Max’s Rooster — and Steve Carell’s character rules the roost in another great comedy series

I really enjoyed following Steve Carell’s career over the years. Whether it’s his iconic role as Michael Scott in The office or his much more serious performance as Alan Strauss in Hulu’s The patientI have always been impressed by what he does.

In HBO Max RoosterCarell plays Greg Russo. He is the author of a series of books about a main character called, you guessed it, Rooster. Russo gained a fandom through this character even though he wasn’t as successful himself, with painful emotions surfacing as he returns to the same art school, Ludlow, where his wife left him 25 years ago.
