The dysfunctional oddball family dynamic lends itself to the theme of the unknown and the lack of control said unknown tends to conjure up. It’s an acerbic, sometimes sarcastic, often witty venture into the paranormal world. The whole exchange at the beginning between Darryl, Janusz and the other Rooks, had me like – what, who? Sometimes it makes it hard to follow, but then the Rooks are quite a chaotic lot in general. I can easily imagine this as a scripted film/series, because it has a certain chaotic dodge-ball dialogue going on between the characters. Even they have noticed that there seems to be a shift towards the inexplicable, which also means their business is thriving, but they also know something evil this way comes. A family company that deals with ghosts and other stuff that isn’t supposed to exist. The Rooks are the squad you call when the monsters come calling or something goes boo in the night.
