Review of Roar

conor is a reluctant 20 year old prince in ireland in 4th century AD. one night while the rest of his village are partying at the wedding of conor's older brother, conor goes out into the woods to meet his lady -love who naturally in this type of tale is also the daughter of his families' rival and worst enemy. meanwhile the enemy's troops sneak into conors village and burn and massacre all the people there except one. fergus who has been protector for the village and conors family for all conors life, has gone down-celler to sleep off the effects of his partying. when he comes up top the next day, he finds everyone gone. while the massacre was taking place, the lady- loves father confronts she and conor in the woods and intends to kill conor. the lady steps between them to stop her father---and she is accidently slain herself.--later--conor returns to the site of his destroyed village--fergus explains and tells him they must raise an army to go after their enemies who have been coerced into joining forces with the roman invaders. much more happens in this exciting and dramatic tale told in 13 episodes that were shown on fox television--the show stars young Heath Ledger who definately filled some big shoes in this fine series which was created by shaun cassidy.
