Sirens is a psychological drama that follows Devon (Fahy) as she retrieves her sister from the grasp of her cultish, billionaire boss, Michaela (Moore). The five-part series is addictive, not just because of the juicy drama and the dagger-sharp, class-conscious dialogue, but also because of its deep understanding of the contradictions of womanhood. The women are alternately jealous and empathetic, pained and ambitious. And they’re led by a trifecta of compelling performances: it’s a thrill to watch Fahy, Moore, and Alcock go at each other’s throats.
Synopsis
Worried about her sister's too-close relationship with her billionaire boss, a scrappy everywoman seeks answers at a lavish seaside estate.
Storyline
Worried for her sister Simone’s (Milly Alcock) well-being, Devon (Meghann Fahy) decides to intervene between Simone and her billionaire boss, Michaela (Julianne Moore).
TLDR
To quote Charli XCX and Lorde in their critically acclaimed 2024 single, “Girl, so confusing!”
What stands out
Alcock and Moore are reliably captivating, especially when they undergo their creepy morning routines. But Fahy has never been better. She steals the show.
