Based on show creator Molly Smith Metzlerโs 2011 play Elemento Pea, Sirens is set over the course of a long weekend in one of those beach communities whose only non-millionaire visitors are the workers who drive in to serve the uber rich homeowners and guests.
Devon (Meghann Fahy) is freshly out of a night in jail and desperate for some help with her father (Bill Camp), whoโs slipping further into dementia. Sheโs also trying to figure out whatโs going on with her sister, Simone (Milly Alcock), who seems to be increasingly obsessed with her boss, one of those uber rich homeowners named Michaela โKikiโ Kell (Julianne Moore).
Devon tracks down her sister to the fictional town of Port Haven, and in a bid to garner help caring for her dad she attempts to bring Simone home. Once surrounded by the strange world of riches and manipulation, Devon herself is drawn into Kikiโs orbit.
This dark comedy has star power with Moore as well as Kevin Bacon as her husband, Peter, plus the great character actor Camp, and both Alcock and Fahy, whose bickering has sister vibes written all over it. This one is a fun binge for the right audience. (five approximately one-hour episodes)
