YOU MAY THINK you have an idea of what Sirens, Netflix's new darkly comedic limited series set in the fictional beach resort town of "Port Haven," is all about. The last few years of television have been chock full of shows centered on Rich People Behaving Badly and Getting Themselves Into Trouble.

Netflix recently dropped its latest limited series on the streaming platform: Sirens. Based on Molly Smith Metzler's 2011 play, Elemeno Pea, it follows Devon, a troubled woman from Buffalo, New York, who travels to a lavish coastal town to reconnect with her estranged sister, Simone.
