Siren

The only thing stupider than this show is me cuz I can't stop watching it.

GOOD things about Siren: The two lead women are unique, beautiful, and likable. The plot stays busy; it's not boring. Addictive. Good light entertainment. Scenery is beautiful. Some good actors in the show doing their best with second-rate dialogue.

BAD things about Siren. You may encounter a bad actor in here. Like really bad. The dialogue often feels unrealistic and awkward. Things happen that don't make any sense.

OVERALL You are going to roll your eyes at this show, then load the next episode.

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.

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.

Good show...first few episodes are a bit B-grade, but it gets better as it goes along. Interesting premise which doesn't seem that far-fetched by the end of the season. Each episode better than the last. Casting of Ryn, main mermaid, is spot on.

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!
