Reviews

arasiriel ROAR was a rarity in TV viewing. Hands down. Not only did you have a period piece, but it was a period piece with a soul that beat through out it. In reading one review I saw mentioned about lack of character development. Well, they didn't have much chance for it after being shut down after only 8 episodes being aired (in the USA). Yes some episodes were campy and others were down right tear wrenching. But there was no doubt from the beginning this show marched to the beat of a different drum from other shows like Xena and Hercules which invaded the scene at the same time. Perhaps it was the lack of marketing promise since the whole pulse of the show was spiritual rather than "fun" and action hero figure inducing. Or it could have been the 1 million an episode that FOX couldn't take on. Perhaps it was a little of both. The one thing I do know it wasn't the audience rating which remained pretty high for a summer first run. Today, it has a cult following all over the globe, repeats are aired on the SciFi channel all the time. It was just now released on DVD (though disappointed they left out all of Loreena McKennitt's songs and they don't have the episodes in their right order *grrrrr!* but still just as magical). If you love Celtic myths and legends, a show which is spiritual (including Druidic and Christian beliefs that merge), you love action and adventure and you want to view a show that makes you FEEL something... makes you laugh and cry (sometimes at the same time) get the DVD. You WILL NOT be disappointed.
fubared1 Also incredibly stupid, badly acted and written and directed (in one episode we spend an eternity watching someone stare at a spear), and in general a piece of crap not worthy of one viewing. I watched 5 episodes of this. BIG MISTAKE!!! Don't bother with this junk. The only thing worth seeing is Heath Ledger with his shirt off. I can see why this was canceled so quickly. This might have been a good premise on the page, but it was ruined very quickly. The so-called 'Christian' moral majority didn't destroy this, the bad writers did. I guess Shaun had the hots for Heath and figured this might be a good way to get into bed with him. Otherwise I can't see any point to this. So unless you too have the hots for Mr. Ledger, don't bother wasting your time.
magnorfis This isn't the first show cancelled by Fox because the Christian majority didn't like it.I loved the show no only because it was awesome, but because it was based on the culture of my family's ancestry. I wish there was more of the show made, it rocked. It's being aired on the Sci/Fi Channel right now.
funshine31121 This was such a great show and i watched all the episodes i could. it had me hooked. so did Conor, what a hottie. when i later saw Heath in "10 Things I Hate About You" i knew i had seen him somewhere. I was so surprised to see that it was the young Heath Ledger who had played Conor. Why was this show canceled? it was a really great show. you should at least show the re-runs.
