Legend has it that Bristol Cove was once home to mermaids. Now, this coastal town has a mysterious new visitor in a girl named Ryn, who may just prove that all of the stories are true. Ryn catches the eye of local marine biologist Ben, and when he begins to show interest, fellow marine biologist Maddie becomes suspicious. Others in town, like deep sea fisherman Xander, are on a quest to discover the truth that is out there, and Helen, the town eccentric, knows more about the mysterious creatures than she lets on. The battle between man and sea takes a dangerous route as these predators seek to claim their birthright.

Jordan McDonald Bitch Media Siren innovates a dark myth by indulging cultural fantasies about mermaids while also grounding itself in America's genocidal, colonialist history. Mar 5, 2021 Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald Belgian actress Eline Powell, is terrific in the role, combining the artlessness of the ingenue with the nervy menace of the cornered animal. Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Kelly Lawler USA Today Siren has many of the hallmarks of a Freeform series - melodrama, attractive young stars, a trendy hook - but it's darker, bloodier and altogether more surprising. Dec 22, 2018 Full Review Oona Sura Black Nerd Problems This first season surprised me, because while it was clearly limited by their network's budget and "family-friendly" vibe, it was violent, uncomfortable, and just downright creepy. Jul 26, 2018 Full Review Cade Taylor Tell-Tale TV Although mermaids are a well-known folklore creature, there aren't many TV shows that cover the topic, which gives Siren an advantage because this is entirely like nothing we've seen before. Rated: 4.5/5 Jun 22, 2018 Full Review Andy Swift TV Line Siren's Ryn isn't your typical Freeform heroine - and not just because she eats live rats and sleeps in an old abandoned boat in the woods.

Fat P Series 1 Episode 1 was riveting, episode 2 and 3 dire and boring. Episode 4 and 5 peaked my interest again but then it tailed off. It finished on a high note. Series 2 turned into a Finding Nemo medical collaboration with Tinder! We stopped watching after Ben and Maddie started copping of with a fish during a 3-way. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/30/23 Full Review Nikki S I absolutely loved binge watching this! Praying one day series 4 will miraculously come!!
