The Rook Trailer

Starz‘s The Rook (2019) teaser trailer stars Emma Greenwell, Joely Richardson, Olivia Munn, Adrian Lester, and Jon Fletcher. The Rook‘s plot synopsis: “THE ROOK tells the story of Myfanwy Thomas (Emma Greenwell), a woman who wakes up in London with no memory of who she is and no explanation for the circle of dead bodies around her. When Myfanwy discovers she’s a high ranking official in Britain’s secret service for people with paranormal abilities, she’ll have to navigate the dangerous and complex world of the agency to uncover who wiped her memory and why.”

I have to admit that I am fascinated by the imaginary in this trailer and the possible implications for certain plot threads. In Babylon 5, there was a Psi Corps, either you joined or you took a pill that suppressed your abilities every week for the rest of your life. I wonder if the paranormal section of Britain’s secret service is like the Psi Corps.
