Scorchin' Summer Streamin' 25 - Sirens - Miniseries

Sirens is a comedy limited series created by Molly Smith Metzler, based on her 2011 play Elemeno Pea. Streaming on Netflix back in May, I am finally catching up with the Julianne Moore and Kevin Bacon five episode run.

Sirens has received generally positive reviews from critics. Set over the course of a single weekend at a luxurious beach estate, the series explores themes of gender, power, and social class. Sirens is described as an incisive, sexy, and darkly funny exploration of women, power, & class!

Devon (Meghann Fahy) thinks her sister Simone (Milly Alcock) has a really creepy relationship with her new boss, the enigmatic socialite Michaela Kell (Moore). 

Michaela’s cult-ish life of luxury is like a drug to Simone, and Devon has decided it’s time for an intervention. But she has no idea what a formidable opponent Michaela will be.
