We watched Sirens on Netflix over the weekend.
I had it pegged as another White Lotus/Perfect Couple drama about shitty rich people and their glamorous lives, but there’s actually a lot more depth to it than that, and the way the story unfurls often challenges your initial preconceptions.
It has a good cast – Julianne Moore and Kevin Bacon are both really solid in it, and Milly Alcock and Meghann Fahy play the two lead sisters well – and it’s pretty tight and self-contained at just five episodes. There’s also some interesting thematic stuff about the title that is confident enough to remain subtext rather than bashing you over the head with it.
Better than I expected and quite compelling, we got through the whole thing in a little over 24 hours.
