The new Netflix miniseries Sirens is set on an affluent northeastern island compound, where the picturesque facade hides secrets and scandals. At the center of the drama is Michaela, a trophy wife played by Julianne Moore, whose life is turned upside down by the arrival of her sister’s troubled guest. The show was originally a play by Molly Smith Metzler, which premiered in 2011. A five-episode adaptation, Sirens has been praised for its blend of humor, satire, and mystery.
With its perfect storm of high society and interpersonal tension, Sirens is reminiscent of classic luxury dramas like Orange Is the New Black. The show’s dark heart is balanced by its witty script and strong performances from the cast, making it a must-watch for fans of prestige television.
