What Are the Critics Saying about Roar?

Despite its stellar cast and crew, Roar has received a rating of 71% from critics and the audience has given it a below-average 41% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Some critics agree it’s a classic case of too many cooks spoiling the broth.

Jenna Scherer from Rolling Stone writes, “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.”

Some other critics, however, did not find the anthology disappointing. Rebecca Nicholson from The Guardian observes, “When it works, it really works, and even when it doesn’t quite come together, it is different enough to demand your attention.”

And Sydney Morning Herald’s Brad Newsome says, “Streaming services are glutted with anthology series, but we still needed this one. Truthful, validating and sometimes just plain magical.”

Is Roar Suitable for Kids?

Roar has a TV-MA rating which means it is meant for viewing by mature audiences only and may not be suitable for audiences under 17.
