For a few episodes in the world of rich and beautiful immersion – this not only works with series like “The White Lotus” or “Big Little Lies”. Netflix also delivers a trip to a luxurious but deceptive setting with the new “Sirens” mini series.

All five episodes of the series have been available since May 22nd.

In the main roles, Julianne Moore, Milly Alcock and Meghann Fahy convince.

What is “Sirens” about?
The focus is on the sisters Devon and Simone, who could hardly be more different: While Devon has a simple life, Simone, as a personal assistant to the influential billionaire Michaela Kell, has built up a luxurious existence.
