A darkly comedic series, Roar is made up of feminist fables for today’s world, spanning genres that range from magical realism to psychological horror. Each standalone installment has its own quirks as every story focuses on ordinary women in extraordinary circumstances.

Among the things viewers can expect based on the trailer, below, is for women to eat photographs, date ducks, and live on shelves like trophies among other things. Despite these seemingly bizarre circumstances, their struggles are universal.
