“Sirens is full of surprises, and not in the way you might expect it to be. Somehow this Netflix limited series about culty, self-help–y, extremely white women doing culty, self-help–y, extremely-white-woman things is a blast, and it’s not because of Sirens’s wacky supernatural underpinnings, its random obsession with birds of prey, or its rote classist critique. All those storytelling tendrils don’t amount to much, except for almost pulling Sirens into a riptide of its own making. No, the show’s appeal lies in its complicated depiction of bickering and bruising sisters, with prickly performances from Meghann Fahy and Milly Alcock giving the series an alluring and distinguishing jolt.” — Roxana Hadadi, “Sirens Will Reel You In”
