Can our moral compass withstand the pressures of our survival needs? This question is pondered through Netflix’s latest series Sirens.
Devon, the main protagonist, kicks off the series by looking for her sister Simone upon receiving her father’s diagnosis of early-onset dementia. Devon ventures to the lavish seaside estate, where Simone works as a live-in assistant for her boss Michaela “Kiki” Kell.
But as she stays longer on the estate, Devon too gets trapped in Michaela’s world, falling deep for her manipulative ways. Tensions further arise when Michaela’s husband Peter Kell enters the picture, spiking tensions between the three women.
Many were confused with the show’s premise as the title hinted at supernaturality. From talks of the women being half-bird, half-human creatures to murderous allegations, the series is simply an intelligent take on gender roles and social class.
Each core character’s struggle and life experience is given priority, allowing viewers an in-depth view of the damages and effects they have inherited from the societal system they inhabit.
Compelling performances
Considering the richness of Sirens’ plot, it is hard to pinpoint who is right or wrong. Sirens will have you rooting and cursing at all the characters at different points of the series. Even the “purest” of characters have their frustrating moments on screen.
The nature of Sirens may be tied to reality, but the performances of its actors resemble whispers of alluring magic. The majority of its main cast will have you glued to the screen throughout the series.
Whereas Meghann Fahy and Milly Alcock portrayed a convincing sibling duo dynamic on screen. Their interactions alone were entertaining to watch.
Sirens is available for streaming on Netflix.
