It makes me laugh

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.

score 8/10
