    The humor is smart-ish and has more bite and suggestive raunch than you’d expect.

    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.

    The comedy is “Rescue Me”-like, but lighter, with less angst.

    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.

    The characters are charming and likable, but the show is strangely humor-challenged.

    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.

    Overtones of "Rescue Me," absent the wit and bite.

Its right up my ally with the humor and focus on the characters, and the acting is just so spot-on. And is no one going to talk about how this is the first major show to accurately depict an asexual person? THE FIRST. And how respectfully they treat Stats with her cocktail of mental illnesses? And, oh my god, un-effeminate gay black man. Hank is such a fantastic character. I really hope there will be more than 2 seasons of this show, I love it so much… Full Review »
