Critic Reviews

IndieWire Ben Travers

Apr 11, 2022

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. Read full review

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. Read full review

Some of the show’s episodes end up much more nuanced than the opening credits’ blunt battle cry of “I am woman, hear me ‘Roar.’” Others, however, embrace that retrograde vibe to become something far more basic. Read full review

Radio Times Abby Robinson

Apr 12, 2022

While the series is having important conversations about the demands and trauma that women are forced to endure in assorted degrees for the simple crime of being women, the approach it adopts doesn't always work, with the form rather than the content often taking centre stage. Read full review

Some short stories simply work better on the page. Ahern’s tales seem meant to twinkle with wryness and wit, but they also function like a collection of fables, dark bedtime stories that purposely use simple metaphors and follow familiar patterns. They’re meant to leave readers intrigued, to spark the imagination. Yet on-screen, told in succession, some of their wit falls flat and their magic mostly evaporates. Read full review

Roar feels more like a series of free-floating metaphors tied limply to the skeleton of a plot. Read full review
