"It’s not that the series is lazy; each installment seems carefully planned and polished (...) It’s that in trying to speak for so many, 'Roar' ends up saying very little at all."  NEU

"Rather than lean on heavy drama or be happy experimenting for experiment’s sake, 'Roar' is clear-eyed in its messaging and enthusiastic in its approach."  POS

"[It] is bold, funny, and sometimes uncomfortable, just like being a woman (...) It's worth watching for the sake of better understanding what it's like to be a woman"  POS

"The majority of the show’s quasi-feminist standalone parables are perfectly okay, but they tend to come out a little undercooked."  NEU

"For a series meant to tackle thorny social issues and gender dynamics, 'Roar' comes across as distressingly slight (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"  NEG

"Instead of feeling like a full-blown roar, it's more of a trained growl, and that's a real shame"  NEU

"The performances are uniformly excellent, even as the tone shifts from comic to dramatic and then back again (...) My closest approximation is to describe 'Roar' as a sweet treat that is good for you"  POS

"Despite a stacked cast and crew, [this] anthology series of modern feminist fairy tales feels like homework"  NEU

"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"  NEU

"Don't expect 'Roar' to dig too deep into the complexities of the issues it raises (...) [It] has enough darkly comic delights to make you shout"  NEU

"A blend of drama, fantasy, womanhood and the absurd, 'Roar' is a solid series featuring some big names getting wrapped up in some rather thought-provoking happenings (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"  POS
