"Roar" (S01, 8 eps, 30-min, Apple) is an anthology of femme-focused stories with a touch of weird. The problem is that this series is 98% women produced, written, directed, and acted with the men typically shown in poor light.

There isn't a single episode in this series worth watching. It felt like a bunch of student films (with 30x's more budget.) There isn't a single redeeming quality in ROAR.

The eight-episode first season is uneven, but always intriguing. The strongest episodes highlight the challenges women face in a male dominant world. Perhaps the best example is "The Woman Who Solved Her Own Murder," which stars Alison Brie as the central character. "The Woman Who Returned Her Husband" is charming despite being fairly predictable. Some of the less effective episodes like "The Woman Who Disappeared," show a lot of promise, but lack sufficient plot development. The "Nosedive" episode of "Black Mirror" (which was co-written by Rashida Jones, who directed an episode in this series) is a good example of the show's potential for biting social commentary. Part of a larger resurgence of the half hour drama, with crisp writing, consistent tone, and a compelling premise, "Roar" has the potential to be a great series like the classic "Twilight Zone" of the mid-20th century, but with a female gaze.… Expand
