What it’s about.

He did so by placing music (by organ and synth wunderkind Rick Wakeman) front and center, and by using Hollywood star James Coburn as a "guide for the uninitiated."

Who’s in it. White Rock stars James Coburn as James Coburn.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.0/10, White Rock has proved divisive with audiences.
