Washington PostHank StueverMar 5, 2014
Season 1 Review: The humor is smart-ish and has more bite and suggestive raunch than you’d expect. Read full review

New York Daily NewsDavid HinckleyMar 5, 2014
Season 1 Review: The discussions at times feel Seinfeldian, tempered with Leary’s fondness for outrage, darkness and absurdity. Leary’s last show, “Rescue Me,” worked because it never lost the humanity. The task for Sirens, which will take a few weeks, is to establish it. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The comedy is “Rescue Me”-like, but lighter, with less angst. Read full review

Boston HeraldMark A. PerigardMar 6, 2014
Season 1 Review: Johnny is easily a Leary/Tommy Gavin stand-in, 
Theresa is Janet (Andrea Roth) with a badge, and Bigley could be Mike Silletti’s (Mike Lombardi) brother. Don’t bother with the alarm. When it comes to 
Sirens, you know this drill. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The characters are charming and likable, but the show is strangely humor-challenged. Read full review

The New York TimesMike HaleMar 5, 2014
Season 1 Review: Sirens stands at the far end of a current spectrum in which jokes are considered too obvious and old-fashioned a way of getting laughs. Unfortunately, the show doesn’t replace them with funny circumstances or characters we care about. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Overtones of "Rescue Me," absent the wit and bite. Read full review
