New Sitcom That’s Perfect for Fans Of Scrubs & The Office Becomes a Top 3 Streaming Hit

by

Few sitcoms have remained as popular as The Office, and Steve Carell’s unforgettable portrayal of Michael Scott is a huge part of its success. The role helped launch Carell’s career and proved he was one of the most talented comedic actors around. Since then, he’s worked on many successful projects, including serious dramas and voice acting roles, demonstrating his versatility. Though he’s shown he can excel in different genres, most people still think of him as a comedic genius. Therefore, it’s no surprise his latest comedy series is already a hit on streaming platforms.

According to streaming data from FlixPatrol, the TV show Rooster is currently the second most popular title on HBO Max, right after The Pitt. Since it’s created by Bill Lawrence, who also made Scrubs, it’s a great pick for anyone who enjoyed that show or The Office.

Why Rooster Is a Streaming Hit on HBO Max

With a talented team both in front of and behind the camera – including involvement in popular shows like Ted Lasso and Shrinking – Rooster was expected to gain attention before its debut. However, the show’s success isn’t just due to its well-known cast. Critics are responding positively, giving Rooster an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 40 reviews, and that score could improve as more reviews are published. Ultimately, Rooster is a new comedy series worth checking out, and it adds to HBO’s impressive collection of highly-rated programs.

Steve Carell shines as Greg Russo, a dad checking in on his daughter Katie after her husband leaves her for a younger woman. The role perfectly suits Carell, letting him showcase his trademark awkward humor. The movie, Rooster, seems to center around Greg’s unexpected journey of self-discovery while hanging out at college with a group of students, leading to plenty of funny and mischievous moments. It also plays on the humor of an older dad trying to navigate modern college life.

It’s worth watching to see if the new show Rooster can become more popular than The Pitt. Currently, The Pitt is doing much better, with a score of 483 compared to Rooster‘s 303, according to FlixPatrol. But Rooster has just begun – only one episode is out now, with more coming weekly until mid-May. Since The Pitt finishes its second season in mid-April, Rooster has a chance to become HBO’s most popular show by the end of its first season, especially if viewers continue to enjoy it. Positive word-of-mouth could draw in more viewers, particularly those looking for something relaxing to watch on a Sunday evening.

It’s still uncertain whether Rooster will get another season, but that could change if the show does well. It’s started strong, and now it needs to maintain that success. While there are plenty of sitcoms to choose from – including a new season of Scrubs – Rooster has the potential to become a popular hit.
