Cringey, Cheesy and unfathomable. I am utterly shocked as to why rotten tomatoes has the ratings sooo high on this. 9 times out of 10 I agree with rotten tomatoes. THIS???? WTH? This program is squeaky clean. No gritty real life feel, no sense of dread or apprehension. It feels like a cross between 7th heaven/ hallmark movies and early 90s "bad" Stephen king low budget films. My wife and i preempted most of the lines of dialogue...which just made us wince more as we watched the first episode. I feel like this type 'story' has been told many many times before and much much better than this disappointing mess.

First: it is a stunning sceenery, both the beautiful landscapes and the special lights of north, not the least very beautiful depiction of both the human (Maddie) and not-so-human (Ryn) female lead characters. Some of the profound aspects that are touched upon in the first season: parent-child relationship, civilisation-nature conflicting interests, modern vs ancient, the rational mind vs. the madness of love. Most of the dialouges are well written (well, not as well as 'Longmire' for example, but well enough), the acting is not bad, especially Ryn (she studied the behaviour of a number of sea and land animals for her role), the suspense is good in most episodes, the tunes of the siren singing has a kind of hypnotic beauty. I hope it'll have at least 3-4 seasons.

I love the idea of this show. Half of the main characters have decent acting, but the supporting characters have very poor acting. Plus the graphics are horrible. I had originally rated it 5, but as I kept watching the story got a bit interesting.

This is terrible TV.Very poor acting, repetitive scripts, smouldering looks and two-dimensional characters. The whole thing sounds and looks like a low-grade soap opera.I'm on episode 9, the plot has hardly progressed in the last three episodes and the central character (Ryn) is painful to watch. Won't be bothering with the rest and looking forward to seeing it cancelled.On a positive note, the technical aspects are good and production values pretty good. That's about all I can say...
