Sirens is a two-part British television crime drama, broadcast on ITV1 on 13 and 14 October 2002. The serial stars Daniela Nardini as D.C. Jay Pearson, a detective within the serious crime group, tasked with investigating a serial rapist who is attacking lone young women in and around Islington. The serial received good reception, with 6.99 million viewers tuning in for episode 1, and 6.46 million tuning in for episode 2.
Production on the serial began in June 2001. A DVD of the serial was released on 3 October 2006 in the United States.
Andrew Anthony of The Guardian said the series "was unique in that it was worth watching — almost all the way up until its, inevitably, silly end. A sort of homage to modern American movies, that are in turn a homage to film noirs, it boasted a lush score, a sharp script, frisky camera work, sound acting and some imaginative locations. A little too imaginative in some cases."
