Critics Are Saying This 'Addictive' Netflix Series Is A Must-Watch For White Lotus Fans

Julianne Moore as Michaela Kell in SirensIf you’re still looking for something to fill that White Lotus-shaped hole in your life after one of the wildest seasons yet, Netflix’s new black comedy Sirens might just do the job.Starring Oscar winner Julianne Moore and White Lotus alum Meghann Fahy, the new miniseries unravels on a luxury beach estate, and follows a woman trying to save her sister from her billionaire boss.Also starring Kevin Bacon, Glenn Howerton and Milly Alcock – and produced by Margot Robbie and her husband Tom Ackerley – the brand new show has got critics talking, and has already been compared to the likes of The White Lotus, The Four Seasons and The Perfect Couple.Take a look at what critics have been saying so far below…The Guardian (5/5)“Julianne Moore’s utterly addictive cult drama is preposterously fun… This endlessly entertaining study in class and family is a witty, star-packed treat that zips through five tight episodes. Here’s hoping for a second season.”The Telegraph (4/5)“Blackly comic wealth TV to fill the White Lotus void… Netflix’s new drama starring Meghann Fahy, Julianne Moore and Kevin Bacon is no Succession, but it’s still preposterously entertaining.”Variety“Like the mythological creatures that give the show its name, though, Sirens – especially the core trio of exceptional actors – exerts a captivating pull that lures you in and keeps you there for its fast-moving five episodes.”Collider (7/10)“Ultimately, there’s a lot of potential in Sirens. There are comedic moments that made me laugh out loud, scenes that really made me think and question a woman’s place in society, and instances when you can see just how intricate Metzler’s work on this story is. However, given its small episode count, the series never gets to spread its wings wide enough to soar to greater heights.”Financial Times (3/5)“Despite an inconsistent tone and uneven pacing, the starry ensemble and scenic locations keep things the right side of watchable. But if it’s not one to actively avoid, Sirens isn’t quite as alluring as the name suggests.”The White Lotus star Meghann Fahy and House Of The Dragon's Milly Alcock in SirensThe Independent (3/5)“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.”Los Angeles Times“At ‘only’ five episodes, it stays more focused than most limited series, though the tone shifts a bit…The ending I found half-satisfying, or half-frustrating, from character to character, but there are great, committed performances along the way, and I was far more than halfway entertained.”Sirens is available to watch on Netflix now.READ MORE:These Are Our 9 Top Picks Of The New Shows And Films Streaming On Netflix This MayAmbika Mod Highlights Double Standard When Comparing Her Career To One Day Co-Star Leo Woodall'sDirector Of Netflix's New Fred And Rose West Doc Jumps To Defence Of Controversial Series
