SIRENS – Review by Susan Granger

May 27, 2025May 31, 2025 Susan Granger Bill Camp, julianne moore, Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock, Molly Smith Metzler, netflix, Sirens

Show creator/runner Molly Smith Metzler must have been familiar with F. Scott Fitzgerald’s description of the rich because it matches hers in in Netflix’s new, five-part miniseries Sirens, alluding to Greek mythology in which sea monsters/mermaids lured sailors to their death. Her story begins with wealthy ethereal socialite Michaela “Kiki” Kell (Julianne Moore) standing on the edge of a cliff, releasing a falcon into freedom. At the same time, Devon DeWitt (Meghann Fahy) is getting out of jail in Buffalo, New York. Devon is exhausted caring for her widower father Bruce (Bill Camp) who suffers from dementia. So she hops a ferry to an unnamed sanctuary off the coast of Rhode Island and makes her way to the palatial clapboard beachfront estate known as Cliff House where her estranged younger sister Simone (Milly Alcock) – having survived a traumatic childhood – now works as Kiki’s personal assistant.

DROP – Review by T.J. Callahan

April 7, 2025April 11, 2025 T. J. Callahan blumhouse, Brandon Sklenar, Chris Roach, christopher landon, Drop, Jillian Jacobs, Meghann Fahy, thriller, universal pictures, Violett Beane

Drop is high tech Hitchcock. Slow burn suspense for the social media savvy where everyone is a suspect. Director Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day) plays a game of chess with pawns aplenty. Every character is put in the line of fire whether they deserve to be or not. While Landon doesn’t let Drop fall flat, the film lacks buoyancy. The audience treads water for the first hour as the characters are introduced and the build up simmers. The last 30 minutes is a smash…literally.
