Parents' Guide to Roger

Parents need to know that Roger is a comedy animated series about a girl living on a tropical island with her best friend, who happens to be an alien. Episodes start with simple ideas, like baking a surprise birthday cake or avoiding a school exam, but they lead to extravagant adventures, such as wild animals wreaking havoc in the kitchen or Roger becoming a body double for Fatou. Far from your typical role models, main characters have faults that lead to mistakes, which spark stories. Fatou is energetic and eager to jump headfirst into whatever idea comes to mind. Roger is patient with his friends but struggles to set (and respect) boundaries. The combination is explosive and results in an atypical series that is more about silly comedy than educational values or positive messages. While it's not violent, viewers can expect classic cartoon antics, like characters getting thrown into space or falling flat on their faces.
