This week Across the Couch, we’re unpacking Netflix’s newest fever dream: Sirens. Set on an eerie island estate dripping in luxury and secrets, this series reimagines the Greek sirens as powerful symbols of control, trauma, and transformation.
We break down the standout performances (Julianne Moore is terrifyingly magnetic), the unsettling group dynamics, and why this story of sisterhood, identity, and power feels both ancient and completely of-the-moment. From cult-like devotion to mythological echoes, we ask: what happens when you give in to the call—and what does it cost to resist it?
If you love a slow-burn psychological spiral with stunning visuals and feminist undertones, this one’s for you.
