Sirènes

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 was thoroughly entertained from the jump with this show. It's eerie, twisted, well thought out and interesting. It may not be the best thing you've ever seen but I would put it above most shows I've watched on Netflix. Kevin Bacon is a revelation. He somehow brings a humanity to his characters in every role that many actors don't. Milly alcock surprised me and did a great job. This isn't necessarily my genre but It hooked me, from start to finish and I binged it all the way through. On a weekend nonetheless which is no easy feat. If Netflix wants to stand out against apple TV and Hulu this is the way to go.

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.

An engaging show that modernizes the characters of the deadly alluring Sirens of Homer's Odyssey , beautiful bird-like creatures whose songs led sailors to their demise on the rocks. Not so veiled of course, but still fun to watch any show that takes from classic literature/mythology and brings these stories to today. All the female leads were at times both seductive and maybe a bit evil, while the men mostly were dupes who seemed helpless to avoiding the disaster the women all but promised to bring them. Kevin Bacon may have unfortunately been minimized as an actor by the "Six Degrees..", but I thought he played his part really well. Good show for watching on a rainy weekend...

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.
