Critics' reviews

"It's all quite well put together (...) and the early episodes deliver some neat surprises."

Brad Newsome: Sydney Morning Herald
"Yes, '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."

Kelly Lawler: USA Today
"It is trying as hard as it can to take the idea of mermaids and their lore as serious as possible. Unfortunately, this seriousness is also the show’s downfall in some ways."

Merrill Barr: Forbes
"I am excited to keep watching. I’m just paranoid about what Freeform might do to undermine it.
In the meantime, I will be marveling at how unsettlingly convincing Eline Powell is"

Alexis Gunderson: Paste Magazine
"[A] very strange but fitfully entertaining series"

Alex McLevy: AV Club
"Viewers must accept just how dumb every single plot point is and every single action taken is"

Hanh Nguyen: IndieWire
"Yes, mermaids! It's also one of the more surprisingly fun shows of the season, with the potential to be great... because mermaids! Seriously!"
