Netflix's 'utterly addictive' and 'hysterical' new drama tops charts just hours after release
It has already become Netflix's most-watched TV show Netflix fans are utterly captivated by a fresh drama series that has been hailed as "utterly addictive" and lavished with five-star reviews from critics. Sirens landed on the service just this Thursday (May 22) and has rapidly climbed to the summit of Netflix's leaderboard for the UK's most watched telly programmes at the moment, soaring in popularity mere hours after hitting the platform. It has now overtaken other compelling titles such as the gripping true crime series Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story, Love Rat and American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden. The series zeroes in on a "bright-but-messy" protagonist, Devon, who embarks on a mission to rescue her sister from her peculiar billionaire boss. The official synopsis reveals: "Devon thinks her sister Simone has a really creepy relationship with her new boss, the enigmatic socialite Michaela Kell. "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. Told over the course of one explosive weekend at The Kells' lavish island estate, Sirens is an incisive, sexy, and darkly funny exploration of women, power, and class." Star-studded performances light up the screen with talents like The White Lotus' Meghann Fahy, House of the Dragon's Milly Alcock, and Academy Award-winner Julianne Moore. The cast is further bolstered by Kevin Bacon (MaXXXine), Glenn Howerton (It's Always Sunny) and Felix Solis (The Forgotten), reports Surrey Live. The limited series has been created by Molly Smith Metzler, who was also the mind behind Netflix's critically acclaimed drama Maid starring Margaret Qualley. The Guardian heaped praise on the "utterly addictive cult drama" rewarding it five stars, adding: "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." Audience reactions to Sirens have been equally enthusiastic, with one viewer dubbing it a "10/10" series, and another penning: "Sirens on Netflix is so addictive, they've got me reeled in already, it's not what you think it is at first. I'm on episode 3 of 5 and might watch the whole series in one binge, I have to see how it ends." Another reviewer described the show as "hysterical and brilliant," while another confessed: "Just finished the new Sirens series on Netflix and I loved it." Meanwhile, Rotten Tomatoes currently pegs Sirens at a respectable 73 per cent from critics, with audience approval not far behind at 65 per cent.

'Sirens': When does new series starring Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy come out?

Series creator and executive producer Molly Smith Metzler told Netflix's Tudum the "story has a lot of teeth.' 'There are real moments of drama, and it's going to make people uncomfortable," Smith Metzler said. "Operatic is a word I like to use to describe it. It's a true dark comedy — and it's got a Greek mythology vibe.' However, Fahy notes viewers should not expect a murder mystery.

Could This New Beach Drama Be the Next 'Perfect Couple'? Watch Netflix's 'Sirens' Trailer Starring Meghann Fahy and Julianne Moore
Julianne Moore has a cult-like power over women — Milly Alcock included — and Meghann Fahy is not buying it in Netflix's new limited series Sirens. In the trailer for the upcoming series, which also stars Kevin Bacon, Fahy's Devon tracks down her younger sister Simone (Alcock) amid bad news about their father's health, only to find herself seriously concerned about the life Simone has gotten sucked into. "I told you Dad got diagnosed with early-onset dementia and you sent a fruit basket?" Devon asks Simone as she arrives, looking disheveled, to the island where Simone works with her boss, Michaela (Moore), whom she seems to obsessively idolize. "Michaela, she's my boss, I get to call her Kiki," Simone tells an increasingly confused Devon. "It's a really special honor." Related: James Gunn Teases House of the Dragon's Milly Alcock as Supergirl in Photo from Woman of Tomorrow Set After Devon's surprise arrival, Simone introduces her to Michaela, who tells her, "I didn't know you existed." "Trust me, Simone and I are very close," Devon insists, prompting Michaela to wonder: "Then why didn't she tell me about you?" Devon is clearly put out by the whole vibe on the island — and the weird world her sister's gotten sucked into — as she tells Michael's husband Peter (Bacon), "My sister seems to really worship your wife." "Yeah, Kiki has that effect on people," Peter replies, unsurprised.

But Devon isn't sure about it all — and she's wondering why her sister doesn't "feel any responsibility" for their father. "He didn't feel any responsibility for me," Simone hits back. "This Michaela b---- has her talons so deep in your brain that you can't even tell you're in trouble," Devon warns her sister, but Michaela insists she's "not the monster you think I am." "This is the happiest I've ever been," Simone claims, but Devon is not backing down on her mission to drag her sister out of there. "No one knows you like a sister — and no one loves you better," Devon says as the trailer concludes.
