Sirens

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 .

The Good:

• Julianne Moore is so so great in everything she has ever done
• Michaela's three groupie ladies were so funny
• how is Kevin Bacon 66 years old?? 😳
• good acting
• Meghann Fahy's fancy dress shopping
• cozy one day/ rainy day binge you don't have to think too much about or pay too much attention to

The Not So Good:

• why was it so.. fuzzy looking??

• honestly could've been 3-4 eps not 5
• could've been.. twistier?

Ps: If you liked Meghann Fahy in this definitely watch her in the movies Drop and Your Monster, she's great in both, and quickly becoming one of my favorite actresses :)

Siren begins with the tone and pace of a mystery thriller, drawing you in with its eerie atmosphere and suspenseful setup. The star cast is undoubtedly one of the highlights - Julianne Moore delivers a standout performance, portraying her character with emotional depth and subtle intensity. Kevin Bacon, too, adds a strong presence to the narrative, bringing a grounded yet compelling energy to the screen.

While the series hooks you early with its promise of secrets and tension, it doesn't quite land the finish. The ending took a more subdued direction than expected, leaning away from the mystery-thriller genre it initially hinted at. Still, the show remains engaging thanks to the strong performances and the curiosity it builds throughout.

Overall, Siren is worth watching for the acting and atmosphere, even if it doesn't fully deliver on its initial promise.

I binged the series, and found it entertaining. But will likely have forgotten it by next week. If you enjoy watching dramas of the extremely wealthy, (think Perfect Couple, Revenge) then you'll enjoy this too. Nothing particularly noteworthy - the acting was good, the plot was interesting. Kind of like enjoying a good meal in a chain restaurant- you are happy while eating and have no regrets, but then by tomorrow you don't give it another thought.

So if you want a relaxing evening, grab some snacks and watch it all in a night. It is definitely meant to be binged. Great setting and costumes too.

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...
