Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
joekinplaya This show is pretty amazing. The jokes are fresh and funny. The lines mesh right in and the characters feel all real, unique, and lovable; even the weird ones. Oh God especially the weird ones.This show does a lot of things that MIGHT make some viewers uncomfortable on paper but the execution is so good that it erases all walls. If you are straight and have problems being homophobic, Hank is a character that'll surprise you. IMO the best characters are Brian and Billy. I would pay to watch a sitcom or spin off show about those two.Anyways this show does a lot of what sitcoms fail at; making all of their characters including the side ones funny/fresh/vibrant and lovable. There is a dispatcher woman with a very loud and confident voice who drops profound womanly wisdom and logic.This is an adaptation of the British version of the show which I will watch soon. However, I loved that they did this show in Chicago and showed a portion of what goes on in Chicago; kids and families end up getting shot and sometimes the show gets very real. Regardless, if you want something to watch that's entertaining and funny and definitely fresh/unique from other sitcoms, this is that one.Don't let the fact this has been canceled stop you from watching it. Guaranteed better than most shows on today.
FSUUKRamsCardsfan Let me first start out by saying that this show is a bit vulgar and uses the Lord's Name in vein to an excessive amount. But for the most part it's just a really funny down top earth show that you can get into and enjoy and just have a few great laughs. The acting is good, the jokes and humor are original, and the storyline and plot are very interesting. USA Network hit it out of the Ballpark with "Sirens" it's definitely one of the funniest comedy series I've seen in quite some time, I hope that this show is on for a very long time. There's so many dry boring comedy series out there on TV, but this is not one of them. But like I said earlier this show takes the Lord's Name in vein excessively and as a Christian that's offensive to me and that's the only reason I didn't give this show a perfect 10. But I guess these days you would be hard pressed to find a comedy series or any other show on TV for that matter that doesn't take the Lord's Name in vein though. Good show overall though, if you watch one episode you will instantly get hooked on it lol.
lucygsc I enjoy the Leary-Sellitti collaborations. Sirens is more light-hearted than Rescue Me. It's like watching just the comedy portions of Rescue Me. It isn't high art, but it's quick, witty, engaging, and written for an intelligent audience. Yet it's easy to watch. I get at LEAST a couple of belly laughs out of every episode, often more. Some days I laugh so loud I scare my dog! That's reason enough to keep me coming back. Also like Rescue Me, the characters are weird but personable, so they still seem normal. The characters are more than caricatures. I can relate each one's quirkiness to someone I know in real life. As a whole, the characters also represents a good cross-section of the population in terms of age, race, gender, creed, religion- you name it. Even the one-episode characters meet that criteria. I look forward to spending a half hour with this show.
robert-feeney-850-837800 Let me preface this review by saying that I am neither a prude nor a religious zealot. I appreciate series like Sons of Anarchy where you'd expect the business of an outlaw biker gang to get dirty. The same for the recent True Detective. However, for a "comedy", I expect a certain "lightness of being". Let's take How I Met Your Mother. Barney often speaks of "banging", yet it is done tongue in cheek so it fits in with the feel of the show. It never feels gratuitous or out of place. The same can be said of Archer where "barebacking" or "ball slapping" never seem too crass, unlike Family Guy (which I love) where I often get the feeling that they're simply trying to see how much they can get away with.That being said, the filthiness of Sirens distracts from the overall feel and dulls what could otherwise be a funny and clever show. I found it funny when Hank talked about getting over his ex boyfriend by taking a weekend in Miami. And the Navy Seals/Easter Seals bit was funny as well (unlike the bottle up the butt call which was far too predictable and amateurish). But I find the sex talk poorly crafted which causes it to stand out and seem just plain dirty, Compare that to the seamlessness of "bangity bang" in HIMYM, which never loses the feeling of silliness or absurdity. In fairness, none of the three leads in Sirens can hold a candle to NPH and pull off a seemingly disgusting premise and make it funny (and almost cute): "I'm only pretending to live here so I can take this woman here, nail her and never have to see her again. I'm not a monster." I realize this review for Sirens is light on Sirens and heavy on the other series I prefer. That's simply because there's not much to be said for Sirens. I'm sure 18-35 will love the lowest common denominator "humor". The rest of us will be left to find laughs elsewhere.
