[pilot episode, aired Sep. 15 on Space TV]
My oh my, I love Heath Ledger. He's the star of Roar, an Australian/American co-production that was shot way back in 1997. Heath was only 18 at the time, and even back then he was astutely capable of carrying the lead role. He plays the part of a young Irish chieftain, given the responsibility of uniting the Irish clans against the Roman encroachers, after his father is killed by them. The story is told in great style, with history, war, romance and magic thrown together to create an enchanting story of an Ireland from a millennium and a half ago.
Roar is one of those gems, cancelled too early, destined to never rise again from the television graveyard, albeit now for a short visit to Space TV. The series' 13 episodes will be airing consecutively on Saturday evenings.
