Sirens follows Fahy as Devon DeWitt, who tries to track down her sister, Alcock’s Simone, after she stops responding to her calls and texts. It seems Simone has taken up employment and residence in a mansion on the fictional island of Port Haven (think Nantucket). Simone’s boss? None other than the eccentric and mysterious Michaela Kell (Moore). Devon rushes to the rescue, but what she finds is a bizarre world where her sister seems entranced with her boss, the locals may all be in a cult and everyone wears Lilly Pulitzer like it’s still the ’90s.

So the million dollar question: Is Sirens good or not? Here’s where it gets complicated…I think so?

The show is quirky and bizarre (which I usually like). There is drama and intrigue (which I’m normally on board with). And yet, after two episodes, I can’t seem to decide if I like it or not. Is it a copout for me to say, “It’s complicated”? Probably, but it’s the truth.

Moore gives an incredible performance, creating a complex character who is at once frightening and sad. Fahy and Alcock are fun to watch as bickering sisters who are polar opposite personalities. But the first two episodes don’t seem to provide enough answers or enough mystery (there’s no dead body unless you count the bird) for me to make heads or tails of things. And still, I’ll likely keep watching.

The show is an easy view without me having to pay too much attention. The three fabulous lead women, plus the bubble gum colors and general air of mystery make this a pleasant enough watch to keep me going (but perhaps not “bingeing”).

All of this to say, I suppose the data makes sense. People are watching—the limited series is at number one as a result. But people aren’t sure if they love it or not—hence the positive but not stellar ratings.

I guess if I had to give it a rating, I’d say…65 percent? And I guess if I had to say if I’ll keep watching, I’d say…probably?
