Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy and Milly Alcock Work in Harmony to Give Netflix Cult Dramedy ‘Sirens’ Its Hypnotic Hold: TV Review
Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy and Milly Alcock work in harmony to give Netflix's cult dramedy 'Sirens' its hypnotic hold.
But where “Maid” was meticulously rooted in the everyday grind of American poverty, “Sirens” — adapted from Metzler’s own play “Elemeno Pea,” first written nearly 15 years ago — has a fantastical feel that separates it not just from the creator’s previous show, but from the countless series about extreme wealth and class divides that have sprung up in the wake of “Big Little Lies” and “The White Lotus,” on which Fahy also appeared. Both actors hold their own against Moore, a living legend whose previous TV turns — the Stephen King adaptation “Lisey’s Story” and the acerbic costume drama “Mary & George” — haven’t attained the audience her stature deserves. The reach of Netflix and conspicuous consumption, however absurdist, on display in “Sirens” give Moore her strongest chance yet at a spotlight akin to that of her peers Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon, both of whom have embraced the small screen in recent years.
