Dark Netflix series 'perfect' for Bank Holiday bingeing soars to number 1
If you're looking for a show to binge on the Bank Holiday Monday, Netflix has you covered. New dark comedy drama Sirens is already making waves with viewers on the streamer, and with just five episodes, it's a perfect fit for a lazy day at home. Sirens only arrived late last week on Netflix, but fans have already been devouring the entire season. In a Google review, Catherine Woodfield raved: 'Wow. Just wow. I'm sick of shows with too many episodes, not enough 'pace', filler characters. This show is anything but that.

Sirens viewers make same complaint just hours after Netflix releases series
Netflix dropped limited series Sirens earlier today - and fans are already making the same complaint as they brand the highly anticipated series 'disappointing' Netflix fans have been left 'disappointed' by new limited series Sirens, as they all take to social media to make a similar complaint. The dark comedy series starring Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock, and Kevin Bacon, follows Devon (Fahy) on her journey to a lavish island. Devon thinks her sister Simone (Alcock) has a really creepy relationship with her new formidable boss, Michaela (Moore), and believes it's time for an intervention. Netflix describes the series as "an incisive, sexy, and darkly funny exploration of women, power, and class." Last month, the streaming service released a trailer for the series, showcasing Michaela (also known as Kiki's) " weird power." During the trailer, Simone appeared to be weirdly infatuated by her boss - even accepting her chewing gum out her mouth and chewing on it herself. However, it wasn't just Simone, as it looked like Michaela had formed a cult of members who were obsessed with her. Towards the end of the trailer, Simone can be heard saying she's the "happiest I've ever been" before breaking down in tears. The trailer had fans on the edge of their seat for the series release, but it seems some have been left disappointed after tuning into the full series following the dramatic snippet. Taking to X, formely known as Twitter, one fan penned: "I'm watching Sirens on Netflix and this s**t is not as creepy as the trailer I'm so disappointed lol." A second agreed: "Sirens was just too bizarre and too bland for my taste." Others were left confused by the five part series, as one wrote: "Watching #Sirens and I am quite confused. And I just finished it. What even happened." However, some fans were loving the new limited series, with one writing: "First episode of #Sirens is really good! Fun, sexy and a little mysterious too, I'm intrigued!" Another penned: "sirens on netflix is so good." Previously speaking about the show and the casting, series creator and executive producer Molly Smith Metzler told Netflix's Tudum: 'I like to talk about Devon as the metronome of the show. She sets the pace, and especially the comedy. Casting Meghann was a gift from the heavens.' 'This story has a lot of teeth,' she continued. 'There are real moments of drama, and it's going to make people uncomfortable. 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.' Speaking on Julianna's casting, Molly continued: 'Julianne's just the dream for this role because she does feel ethereal. She's from another kingdom. She is not a normie.'
