Siren: Survive The Island

Netflix, streaming now

While the title no doubt evokes immediate mental imagery of bikini-clad Amazonians charging around a sun-drenched palm-strewn island, this is anything but. The survival reality show might be set on a remote island, but the females featured are versed in the highest levels of both combat and strategy. Divided into six teams dictated by profession — those being athletes, armed forces, public services, security personnel, and stunt doubles — the 24 women compete against each other in challenges requiring extreme mental and physical prowess. Fans of Physical 100 may indeed clock some familiar South Korean faces spattered in mud. One thing is for sure, with an increasing number of “survival” offerings such as this, we’re venturing closer to the first ever real-life pan-Asian Battle Royale-style TV show to grace screens simply for our entertainment.
