In “Roar,” there is no such thing as subtlety.
The anthology series, premiering Friday on Apple TV+, takes its eight stories from Cecelia Ahern’s book of short stories of the same name. In one episode, a mother (Nicole Kidman) eats photographs to relive happy memories. In another, a trophy wife (Betty Gilpin) sits on a shelf for her husband to stare at all day.
“There’s a literalization to some of the ideas, which is appealing from the visual standpoint,” co-showrunner Liz Flahive, reuniting with creative partner Carly Mensch from “GLOW,” told the Daily News.
