Critics Consensus

The feminist themes of Roar don't carry smoothly across some installments, but the sheer amount of talent on hand comes through loud and clear.

Whether you crave the catharsis of an abusive boyfriend being carted off by Animal Control, or the rush of solving your own murder ... "Roar" has enough darkly comic delights to make you shout. Go to Full Review Jenna Scherer Rolling Stone Apr 22, 2022
Roar has built a daring experiment, bringing in a diverse group of female writing, directing, and acting heavyweights -- which makes the series almost fascinating in its failure to deliver. Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Apr 15, 2022
4/5
Streaming services are glutted with anthology series, but we still needed this one. Truthful, validating and sometimes just plain magical. Go to Full Review Alexandra MacAaron Women's Voices for Change Aug 24, 2022
8/10
The biggest, most important message that these quirky tales are putting forth is that, whether we like it or not, being a woman means accepting society’s insistent, but often inconsistent, directives about who and what you are and do. Go to Full Review Monique Jones Common Sense Media Jun 10, 2022
4/5
A thought-provoking anthology that highlights empathy, compassion. Go to Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Jun 1, 2022
2.5/5
A series with certain traits of audacity that wants to make a statement about female empowerment in these revolutionizing times, but often does so with more clumsiness than intelligence. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Rachel M @RT36900743 Aug 16, 2025 I found Roar on Apple TV to be intriguing and entertaining until the “duck episode.” The graphic love story between a woman and a duck crossed the line from quirky to grotesque, leaving me more disturbed than entertained. As an animal lover, I found it uncomfortable and off-putting. I cannot recommend this episode, and it tarnished my enjoyment of the series as a whole. See more Linda C @RT79924336 Jul 11, 2022 Strange and awful. Kept hoping it would get better. It didn't! Finally left after Episode 5. Ugh See more May 22, 2022 Total rubbish. Do not waste your time to watch it. See more andrei d @RT74856639 May 16, 2022 Does very little with a lot See more Tidge H @YoureRightIamWrong May 2, 2022 Four stories Into this series, and I find it extremely disappointing. Goes to show that no matter what headliners you have cast in a series, it does not guarantee success. What a bummer... See more Apr 30, 2022 Disappointing. This is a very "woke" show. Boring, confusing and I'm surprised this is on Apple plus. Their other programs are of the highest quality so I don't know why they decided this would be good See more Read all reviews
