Season 1 Review:
Devon seems to possess the only truly reliable moral compass among the main characters as the series heads towards its shockingly conventional soap opera ending. The climax is such a copout that it makes you want to ascribe deeper meaning to it. But what it signals most clearly is a dearth of ideas.

Season 1 Review:
Metzler too often stops short of true wit and strangeness. This makes for an inconsistent tone, from which we’re happily distracted by a dazzling backdrop, a twisty plot, and diva-worthy performances—all elements that make Sirens just as fun to watch as the shows it means to critique, but not much more insightful.

Season 1 Review:
As an eat-the-rich satire Sirens doesn’t entirely work; neither does it fully pull off its attempts to grapple with family dynamics and generational trauma. But as a colourful, unpredictable slice of slightly bonkers summer escapism? Like the siren songs of Greek myth, it’s irresistibly alluring.

Season 1 Review:
The route “Sirens” showrunner Molly Smith Metzler takes here is to go more vulgar with the humor, which is fine and often funny enough. But this efficient, if somewhat rushed, five-episode limited series also wants to get serious about heavy subjects, and the two tones don’t just clash but magnetically repel one another into different dimensions.

Season 1 Review:
It may be a failure, but it’s an interesting one. Most of the shows in this corner of the streaming economy seem content to stick to a basic formula. Metzler’s out here trying a whole lot of things. They don’t fit together, yet the experiment at least leaves an impression.

Season 1 Review:
There were times, especially in the first few episodes, when I appreciated how brazenly Metzler was tackling so many disparate elements, but by the time those elements failed to cohere as anything other than superficial irony, my attention was mostly being held by a very strong, insufficiently served cast.
