From a Mile-High Win to Lakshya-Utpassan: With the series being Netflix’s number-one hit, the Oscar-winning star went on to thank the masses for this achievement while innumerable fans have showered the brilliant, compelling tale with love.

Kevin Bacon’s “Sirens” seems a series so tailor-made for universal appeal. In a time-honored post, Moore wrote, “Thanks to everyone for making #Sirens #1 on @Netflix,” opening a window for her ecstatic fans to express their excitement towards the show.
After commenting on the show, all else faded away to a virtual party in the comments section, and several demanded a second season. One wrote, “Great show you guys, hope you are working on season 2,” while another exclaimed, “I loved this show so much and would happily watch a season 2.” These were the consistent themes seen throughout the comments.
Some comments claimed to have binged-watch most with one saying, “already finished it” because “it was so good.” Some went on to gush over Moore particularly: “OMG You were soooooo good in this. Had to binge watch it!!!!”
The international appeal of the show is present; one viewer was UK-based stating, “This is what I’m watching on Netflix in the UK right now.” One other described it as “a decadent watch on this rainy weekend,” and the mentioning of which perfectly encapsulates the kind of shows to watch while relaxing over a weekend.
Quite interestingly, many comments engaged with Moore’s character in the series; some were joking along the lines of “loving seeing you be mean.” In a way, it shows that the actress has done a great job once more, pleasing viewers in what appears to be a more antagonistic role than she has ever undertaken before.
The excitement itself did not merely clock its way through the general populace; even the ‘behind-the-curtain’ feet were on their ankles congratulating her, and among them was Nicole Kassell who thanked Moore “for answering the song,” with an implication that some behind-the-scenes collaboration led to the success of the show.
Even though Netflix is yet to announce a season 2, the mountain of positive reviews and unstoppable clamor from the fans could well be the cannon firing a reminder to its creators: Please continue the story. Given the star power of Moore and Bacon combined with what looks like strong storytelling, Sirens might be Netflix’s next mega-brand.
Moore could probably sit back on her laurels and bask in the glory of the show’s success, knowing she has given the audience yet another unforgettable performance to speak about, binge on, and look forward to in the near future. The rapid rise of the show from nowhere to number one is one fine testament that Moore still knows how to pick projects that appeal to audiences after spending so many years in the industry.
The success of the show must be brought to greater limelight as we set out this scenario against the backdrop of Netflix as a bustling content hub where every new show is in ceaseless competing with its fellow shows for viewers’ time every second. That Sirens has gone all the way to number one had me convinced that the series has one such uncommon quality that goes through the clutter-wonder; it could either be the stellar cast, the gripping plot, or Moore’s magnetic presence-people are practically glue to the play button.

As the celebration continues online, something is for sure: Julianne Moore has another winner, and by all accounts from these comments, fans are going to be pushing Netflix for more episodes pretty soon. This success of the show is just another reminder of Moore’s elaborated relevance, being able to deliver compelling performances across genres and mediums.
