At first Rogue was meant to arrive this summer, turns out it's much sooner : the 10-episode drama will commence Wednesday, April 3 on DirecTV's Audience Network.
Created by Matthew Parkhill (Dot the I), the show stars Thandie Newton (ER) as an emotionally conflicted undercover detective tormented by the possibility that her own actions led to her son's death. Marton Csokas (LotR), W. Earl Brown (Deadwood), Leah Diane Gibson (Caprica) & Ian Hart (Luck) co-star.
Here's the first trailer :
Rogue looks potentially interesting, doesn't it ? And given that they've taken great care of Friday Night Lights and Damages, DirecTV can be trusted. What do you think ?
EDIT : I might as well include the official synopsis :
Grace Travis is a wife, mother of two, and the bay area's best undercover detective. She's adept at transitioning between suburban life and the Oakland docks where she's been embedded for months with a criminal enterprise run by James "Jimmy" Laszlo and his sons, Max and Alec. Grace is abruptly pulled out of the field when her son, Sam, is killed in a drive by shooting. Her life is shattered.
Four months later...
The investigation into Sam's death has gone cold. Grace, guilt-ridden and unable to accept the loss, has begun to search for answers. With the help of her mentor, Mitch, a link is uncovered between Sam's death and Jimmy Laszlo's organization. Unable to convince her superiors that she is fit for duty, Grace goes rogue slipping back undercover as "Jackie Hays" in Laszlo's gang. When Laszlo discovers Grace's true identity, through his mole in the police department, they make an unholy alliance. Someone close to Laszlo has been working against him. He's willing to spare Grace's life, and help her find Sam's killer, if she helps him uncover the traitor in his organization. It's a deal she can't refuse.
