Sirens, Netflix and Dark Comedy Thriller
Digest more
Netflix limited series “Sirens” centers on the complex dynamic between three women — Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock and Julianne Moore — that unfolds over the course of a hectic weekend.
Smith Metzler did confirm that Cloe (Jenn Lyon), Lisa (Erin Neufer), and Astrid (Emily Borromeo) are meant to represent the Fates and that “Peter has a Zeus-like quality or a Hades-like, depending on how you look at it.”
Julianne Moore, who stars as Michaela in the series, tells TODAY.com the series started as a look at the Greek myth of sirens — winged creatures, half-birds and half-women, with songlike voices capable of luring sailors at sea to their demise.
Based on creator Molly Smith Metzler’s 2011 play Elemeno Pea, Sirens is an addictive, propulsive game of power plays between the three central women: Simone, her sister Devon ( Meghann Fahy ), and Simone’s boss Michaela “Kiki” Kell ( Julianne Moore ).
Showrunner Molly Smith Metzler chats with THR about rethinking Greek mythology with the series starring Meghann Fahy and Milly Alcock, and why she’s going to be on Reddit to read viewers’ thoughts.
Despite a tone and atmosphere reminiscent of 'A Perfect Couple,' this new series about class conflict ultimately falls flat.
