Reviews

Red Roses has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike, with its IMDb rating standing at 3.0/10. While some praise the show for its ambitious storytelling and character-driven plots, others find it lacking in depth and originality. A common critique is the show’s formulaic approach to soap opera conventions, leading to predictable plot twists and recycled themes. According to a review on Rotten Tomatoes, 'Red Roses presents a familiar tale of love and loss but struggles to inject fresh ideas into its narrative.' Additionally, Metacritic users echo similar sentiments, stating that 'the characters often feel one-dimensional, failing to leave a lasting impact on the audience'. On the positive side, some viewers appreciate the series' ability to intertwine various story arcs and the charming portrayal of Lüneburg which adds a quaint backdrop to the drama. Despite the criticism, the show's dedication to exploring its characters' emotional landscapes resonates with a specific audience. As evidenced by a user review, 'If you enjoy a good atmospheric drama with a steady dose of romantic tension, Red Roses might just be the show for you.' Overall, while it may not be a critical darling, it continues to hold a niche appeal.
