The ending I found half-satisfying, or half-frustrating, from character to character, but there are great, committed performances along the way, and I was far more than halfway entertained.

Ultimately, "Sirens" is another casualty of the bloated runtime of a story that should've been a two-hour movie at best. It would've worked better as a tighter, less sprawling piece, and should've focused more on the banality of its subject matter.

We’re still largely “meh” about Nine Perfect Strangers, but the show’s second season is marginally better than its first.

This efficient, if somewhat rushed, five-episode limited series also wants to get serious about heavy subjects, and the two tones don’t just clash but magnetically repel one another into different dimensions. I appreciate the effort to make characters and their relationships complex, but it can play out like a parade of dissociative identity disorders.

Issues remain here, whether it’s the lack of punch in its satire of wellness and the elite embracing of quackery or the sheer length of it all (this is yet another show that could have been two episodes shorter, at the least, without losing anything of note.)

The series gestures at using its wealthy ensemble to lampoon cultural discourse, whether it be the half-hearted fallout of “cancel culture” or the pitfalls of millennials embracing therapy speak without reflecting on their personal trauma. But after a few episodes, it falls away in favor of cloying, unearned epiphanies.

It looks glamorous and talks the prestige TV talk, but it’s a hollow, self-indulgent emotional vacuum.

Season 1 was at least interesting. We could be somewhat invested in the characters. The story itself degraded as season 1 progressed but it was worth sticking it out. Season 2 has none of that. There is SO MUCH HIDDEN 'MYSTERY' - that well - the plot is hidden from us. The characters are all pretty unlikable and Nicole Kidman is painful to watch. Not sure what the heck Lena Olin's character is for? Couldn't finish watching it - gave it the old college try but glad I gave up.... (I did read what happened in the episodes I didn't watch. I didn't mess anything). Time to put this series down.
