Sirens

An engaging show that modernizes the characters of the deadly alluring Sirens of Homer's Odyssey , beautiful bird-like creatures whose songs led sailors to their demise on the rocks. Not so veiled of course, but still fun to watch any show that takes from classic literature/mythology and brings these stories to today. All the female leads were at times both seductive and maybe a bit evil, while the men mostly were dupes who seemed helpless to avoiding the disaster the women all but promised to bring them. Kevin Bacon may have unfortunately been minimized as an actor by the "Six Degrees..", but I thought he played his part really well. Good show for watching on a rainy weekend...

I was thoroughly entertained from the jump with this show. It's eerie, twisted, well thought out and interesting. It may not be the best thing you've ever seen but I would put it above most shows I've watched on Netflix. Kevin Bacon is a revelation. He somehow brings a humanity to his characters in every role that many actors don't. Milly alcock surprised me and did a great job. This isn't necessarily my genre but It hooked me, from start to finish and I binged it all the way through. On a weekend nonetheless which is no easy feat. If Netflix wants to stand out against apple TV and Hulu this is the way to go.

It was a very good five episodes. One to watch if you like a surprise.

Sat and watched all in one go and enjoyed every episode.

I will admit it was not the Story I was expecting, which made it even better.

Loved all the characters, great casting, the ending was a nice touch not good or bad.

I was on the edge of my seat a couple of times, which is usually rare for me. You think one thing is gonna happen then another thing happens. A few funny moments.

Loved Jose.

A very nice story of five episodes about two sister's and the life of the rich couple and the staff that work there.

Hay hay .

I recently binge-watched Sirens, and it's safe to say the series delivers an engaging mix of mystery and excitement. The first two episodes do a fantastic job of setting up the eerie atmosphere of the island, gradually building suspense and keeping the audience eager to uncover what's next. The pacing is excellent, striking a balance between tension and intrigue, with well-crafted exchanges that enhance the storytelling.

Julianne Moore is absolutely captivating as Kiki, embodying the air of mystery that keeps viewers wanting more. Her performance adds layers to the unfolding narrative, making her character feel both elusive and compelling. Sisters Devon (Meghann Fahy) and Simone (Milly Alcock) also shine.

While the core storyline may follow familiar mystery-thriller conventions, Sirens stands out through its stunning cinematography and a well-crafted score that heightens every moment. The visuals bring the tension to life, and the music complements the series' suspenseful tone.

Overall, Sirens is definitely worth the watch!

I really enjoyed the series for its incredible cast, until it was totally ruined by the ending for me.

I will not give any spoilers, but I feel such a well made show deserved a more intelligently written ending that left the viewer with a satisfying feeling of wow. It seemed rushed and fell flat after the eerie and mysterious feeling that dominated the series from the beginning.

The true saving graces were the impeccable performances, the cinematography and the production design. Meghann Fahy was such a 180' revelation after White Lotus. She became one of my favourite actors. Julianne Moore and Kevin Bacon are both seamless as always.
