Sirens, season 1
This is the must-see mini-series of May: adapted from the play Elemeno Pea by Molly Smith Metzler (who was already behind Maid), Sirens dives into a weekend as glamorous as it is unsettling on a private island. Devon (Meghann Fahy, a member of the love quartet in season 2 of The White Lotus).) goes to a luxurious beachfront property to "save" her young sister Simone (Milly Alcock, young Rhaenyra in House of the Dragon), who has fallen under the influence of her enigmatic boss, Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore, who needs no introduction). However, Devon quickly realizes that Michaela is not just a pawn of high society but rules over a true microcosm that resembles a high-society cult. A social satire where dark humor meets psychological suspense, much to our delight.

To the sound of bells, an enigmatic monk awakens (Flavien Jacquemont). Hood on his head and eyes cast down, the man lives in solitude on the roof of a Parisian church, filling his loneliness by watching passersby and quenching his hunger by greedily devouring pigeon eggs, the last neighbors he has left.
