For those scouring streaming services to find their next television obsession, may we present to you the clear winner that deserves all of your attention and adoration this Bank Holiday weekend: Sirens.
In case you missed it, the five-part dark comedy dropped on Netflix on May 22, and has received a bevy of five-star reviews since its release. Per Netflix, the dysfunctional family story at the heart of Sirens is told over the course of one explosive weekend at the Kells’ lavish island estate. 'Sirens follows Devon DeWitt (Meghann Fahy) as she struggles to reconnect with her sister Simone (Milly Alcock) and navigate uber-wealthy waters, all the while trying to figure out what is so irresistible about this world and who on the island really holds the power,' the synopsis reads.

Moore stars as Michaela Kell, Simone's boss, who reigns supreme on the island and in Simone's heart.
It's not just the stable of A-listers that are worth noting though, it's also the divine New England-style filming locations, and it's for that reason that we've scoured the internet to find out exactly where the limited series was filmed.
Where was Netflix's Sirens filmed?
Sirens was filmed throughout the state of New York, with the location that is likely the backdrop of the Kell's estate being the 1,520 acre Caumsett State Historic Park Preserve, located on the Lloyd Harbour peninsula in Long Island.
There are also buildings on the property — including the 18th century Henry Lloyd Manor House, no less — that were used during filming too, most probably as a backdrop for the Kell's home.
Per Newsday, the team also converted a disused office building into a small prison cell, which can be seen at multiple points in the series when certain characters wind up on the wrong side of the law.
The body of water that forms the beach surrounding the Kell's property comes courtesy of Long Island Sound, which sits at the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean and is equidistance between New York and its bordering state Connecticut.
Sirens is known to have filmed at another coastal property on Oregon Road, Cutchogue (via Newsday), which is a hamlet located in the Long Island town of Southold, for a shorter period than the stint at Caumsett Park. It is understood that this property was used as the backdrop for scenes at a beachside mansion and yacht club, both of which are connected to Ethan, whose boatman (played by Trevor Salter) forms a close bond with Devon.
