“Sirens” is the top TV series on Netflix right now, according to the streamer’s public ranking system.
The dark comedy series features Julianne Moore as Michaela Kell, a mysterious socialite who lives a “cult-ish life of luxury” at a “lavish island estate,” the Netflix logline states. She hires Simone (Milly Alcock) who becomes obsessed with that rich lifestyle and forms a weird relationship with Michaela, so much so that her sister Devon (Meghann Fahy) decides to stage an intervention.
The five-episode limited series, which debuted on May 22, has been called “bizarre,” “chaotic” and “utterly addictive.” Kevin Bacon, Glenn Howerton, Felix Solis and Bill Camp also star in the series.

‘Poker Face’
Speaking of guest stars, “Poker Face” is chock full of ’em. Season 2 includes Cynthia Erivo, Katie Holmes, Giancarlo Esposito and several other big-name actors. The mystery-of-the-week-series, now in its second season, centers on Natasha Lyonne as a modern-day Columbo, with a never-failing talent that helps her solve crimes: She can call anyone out when they’re lying. New episodes air on Thursdays on Peacock.
‘The Better Sister’
“The Better Sister” stars Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks as two estranged sisters who are forced to reunite after one of their husbands is killed. The thriller series is based on a best-selling novel by Alafair Burke and premiered on Prime Video last week. Reviews have been mixed, and it has been described as both underwhelming and savvy. All episodes are streaming on Prime Video.

“Criminal Minds: Evolution,” the follow-up series to “Criminal Minds,” was a top performer on Paramount+ this week. The series began another season in May, with new episodes airing weekly on Thursdays.

Cook, Kirsten Vangsness and Aisha Tyler.
