Roar is a fictional Irish tale of a young prince who sets on a journey to fulfill his late father's dreams to make an alliance with all the tribes of the Celtic Island to stand against Roman Empires and to avenge his family and beloved death.
It is comprised of 13 episodes and each episode contains the layers of myth, magic, and love. The show got canceled due to unknown reasons but It introduced Heath Ledger to the cinematic world.
You must be thinking that, why would I recommend a canceled show to you, or to everyone reading my words, and it is a kind of felony to waste your time, but trust me, It won't kill your time. This series has its strengths and weaknesses, the strength of this show is the transformation of Connor (Heath Ledger) from a young lover to a benevolent leader. He has lessons to teach you. To me, the character has a soul of young Heath Ledger, and it carries the destiny to its end.
All these 13 episodes are continuity of a single tale, yet unfolded 13 different stories and each story has something different to offer. If the first episode has love, family, and betrayal, the last episode has a sense of fascination.
Creator of the Roar coined brilliantly with the elements of myth, valor, love, betrayal, and fantasy.
Roar has some unfamiliar faces, Heath was young, and he played Connor with innocence and bravery, it turns out to be a good adventure for him as he played similar two similar roles (A Knight Tale & The Patriot) in his later part of the career, his dialogues lack the warmth of the words but he did great especially being an 18 year old. Vera Farmiga was another familiar face, she has a limited role and justified to it. Sebastian Roche as Longinus is the standout performer of this series. He's vicious and devious, and although great performance. Music is great, and so are the costumes and cinematography.
Roar is a feast for old school cinematic lovers and especially those who love ancient times without any gore or violence, a must watch to relive the legacy of legendry Heath Ledger.
