Rooster review – Steve Carell and a naked college president add wisdom to this cringe comedy drama

The master of the everyman gifts us some hard-won parenting insights in this blissfully awkward show about a father and daughter relationship

Humankind, as TS Eliot’s bird said in Burnt Norton, cannot bear too much reality. That feels especially salient now, when we have more reality arriving in a day than we used to have to process in a year.

Carell is bestselling author Greg Russo, whose pulpy action novels feature a character called Rooster, who sports an open shirt and a six-pack on the book covers, and a passing resemblance to Russo himself.
