Netflix’s ‘Sirens’ Scores 83%—A Dark Comedy Hit You Can’t Miss!

After the surprise success of Netflix’s recent release, “The Four Seasons,” they’ve once again delivered a captivating limited series that’s been garnering rave reviews due to its impressive ensemble cast. With a Rotten Tomatoes score of 83% from critics, “Sirens” is shaping up to be another must-watch this holiday weekend, as we approach the end of May. As a movie enthusiast, I can’t wait to see what this promising series has in store for us!

In the show titled “Sirens“, Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy, and Milly Alcock star. The plot revolves around Devon (Fahy), a waitress from a working-class background, who embarks on a journey from Buffalo to a lavish summer residence owned by Michaela Kell (Moore). Intriguingly, Michaela is the employer of Simone, Devon’s sister, portrayed by Alcock. As Devon starts to suspect that her sister has an unsettling relationship with her wealthy boss, she decides it’s necessary to intervene. This action leads her to discover a multitude of hidden secrets.

In a review, Therese Lacson from Collider stated that among the three leading actresses in the series, Alcock is the unexpectedly outstanding performer on “Sirens”, showcasing Simone’s extensive emotional range and concealed depths. Similarly, Kaiya Shunyata from RogerEbert.com showered praise on the star of the upcoming “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow”, commending her performance.

If Moore appears spectral and haunting throughout every scene, Alcock darts swiftly through each one, leaving the impression of a frenzied spirit.

In addition to Kevin Bacon portraying Moore’s wealthy spouse named Peter, Archi Sengupta of LeisureByte.com emphasizes the series’ hidden depths in his critique, stating: “Netflix’s Sirens delves beyond mere cults, and the revelations might touch you profoundly by the finale.” Furthermore, Keith Phipps from TV Guide remarks:

The capacity of the Sirens to sway emotions illustrates both their captivating allure and, at times, their lack of clarity.
