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 :)

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.

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 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!
