Like “GLOW,” there’s an encouraging aura to every episode that’s pervasive even when single narratives offer more ambiguous conclusions. Tones and takeaways may change, but the show’s consistent howl is motivating. “Roar” recognizes how much time it has to deliver its messages, making the most of its 30 minutes, each and every time.
-
Ultimately, the series is an interesting look at several uniquely feminine perspectives — and despite a few weak spots, it's worth watching for the sake of better understanding what it's like to be a woman.
-
While the show brings a lot of pertinent issues into focus through its absurdist premise, it’s not always actually saying something at the conclusion.
-
By keeping the stories simple, Roar is able to send its messages without hammering it over viewers’ heads. Could some of the episodes stick their landings better? Sure. But the storytelling in the series mostly solid.
-
The results are hit-or-miss, as any anthology tends to be, but the overall effect is charming and incisive (even as the show as a whole suffers from some frustrating blind spots).
