Sirens

A series with a lot of potential that started off great but starts to downfall after the third episode. Plot moves too quickly without barely any story building or character development. Im convinced that they tried to capture the white lotus vibes but couldn't quite get to it. It even ends with open plots just like the it. Was funny in the first episode and I wish that they would of kept that comedy aspect going. The actresses did do great however which made it good. The luxury, cinematography and the fashion was fun and enjoyable. I do recommend that you watch it if you dont have anything else to watch.

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 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 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.
