Siren

Lots of bad review and I must disagree. The plot is intriguing and the actors do have chemistry. It is nice to see a diverse cast including native people. I highly recommend for light, enjoyable TV watching.

I'm not the best audience for tv series because I get bored very easily and I drop them after two episodes but I have to admit that's not happening to me with Siren, I'm currently watching the 2nd season and even though I think the first season holds you in a way it's so hard to abandon the show and you're just like "Omg, one episode more and then, I go to sleep"...the show lost strength by the second season, I'm in the 11th episode and it's way harder to continue, I don't feel attached like I did in the first season, anyways, I strongly think this TV show deserves the opportunity and it's a must watch for anyone into fantasy/drama.

UPDATE: I already finished season 3 and I must say this was the best cliffhanger ever, RENEW SIREN PLEASE, IT JUST GETS BETTER, I CAN'T STOP

Disney showed mermaids as lovey dovey cretures. movies like splash also followed same line. but this show is different. this mermaid is for adults. it is not a damsel in distress. it is a predator a siren which can lure its prey. Eline Powell nails it as siren new to human world. she is the highlight to show and a fresh breath to mermaid characters. music is apt for the show. it elevates the scenes. the main takeaway from the show for me is the chemistry between mermaid and the lead pair. how she is seducing both of them at the same time. she truly is a siren.

Season 1 and the first half of season 2 were much better than the second half of season 2 which I felt was much slower and screaming mediocrity. That being said I've mostly felt entertained throughout and it feels set up nicely for season 3 the last episode of season 2 reinvigorated the 2nd season for me and has me excited for what's to come!

Ok, so you have to suspend a bit of belief to get into it, and the program certainly benefits from you being in the mindset of - "ok, I want something sit down and switch off now". But with that said, Siren is highly enjoyable.

The pacing is just right, and acting is decent. Especially that of lead actress and primary 'mermaid' Ely, who does a great job of drawing you into her otherworldly nature. She's definitely a fantastic choice for the role.

I'm two episodes in and can't wait for the next one.
