‘Sirens’: Was Michaela Actually Running a Cult? Julianne Moore & Milly Alcock Weigh In
- Netflix releases Sirens, a dark comedy created by Molly Smith Metzler, following Devon's effort to rescue her sister Simone from a lavish island estate.
- Devon, raised in Buffalo, aims to bring Simone home to help care for their father diagnosed with early onset dementia, while Simone works for powerful Michaela Kell.
- Devon compares Michaela's estate to a cult because of its closed-off, status-driven environment, describing unusual scenes such as attendees in colorful, egg-themed costumes and Michaela conducting meetings while holding a scepter.
- Julianne Moore states Michaela’s actions reflect a sincere wish to help, calling cult accusations a 'red herring,' while the show explores themes of wealth, perception, and social class.
- The series suggests that social mobility is often illusory and that insular communities, like Michaela’s, can feel cult-like due to rigid class structures and exclusivity.
