NEW YORK, NEW YORK – MAY 20: (L-R) Meghann Fahy, Julianne Moore, and Milly Alcock attend the world … More premiere of Netflix’s “Sirens” at The Plaza Hotel on May 20, 2025 in New York City.

That said, it comes as no surprise that Netflix limited series Sirens also focuses on the complexities of wealthy individuals in a luxury setting. Even the opening credits screech imitation. So, is Sirens worthy of the comparison? The answer is: not necessarily. The scoop: Set over Labor Day weekend, Sirens follows Devon DeWitt (Meghann Fahy), a brash lower-class Buffalo, New York resident who decides after a night in prison to visit her younger sister Simone (Milly Alcock) at the lavish island where she is living and working. Simone, you see, has sent Devon an all too perfect bouquet of fruit in response to her texts looking for help with their aging father’s (Bill Camp) ongoing dementia health crisis. Translation: She couldn’t care less. And Devon is pissed off enough to trek to wherever the hell this island is with the fruit bouquet to throw in Simone’s face. Devon has devoted her life to Simone after the tragic death of their mother, and she is now tired of being the only one helping out. But picture-perfect Simone is completely embarrassed to see her trashy sister. Arriving at the mansion when Simone is employed, we meet Simone’s boss, Julianne Moore as the Stepford Wives-ish Michaela Kell, who Simone is transfixed with and, eventually, Kevin Bacon as Michaela’s friendly and exceedingly rich husband Peter. Guess what? Michaela and Peter’s “perfect” life together is not what it seems. Surprise!…
