Sirens ist eine britische (schottische) Serie, die auf dem Buch "Blood, Sweat + Tea" beruht und das Leben eine Gruppe Rettungskräfte in ihrer Ambulanz auf recht schräge und lustige Art schildert. Obwohl die Serie sehr gute Bewertungen erntete, wurde nur eine Staffel hergestellt.
Alle Darsteller sprechen schon stark mit schottischem Akzent und es wurde leider nie in deutsch synchronisiert. Man muss also recht gut englisch und in diesem Fall schottisch verstehen, um den Humor und die Anspielungen alle zu verstehen. Richard Madden (für mich der Hauptgrund, die Serie zu schauen) spielt seine Rolle herrlich.
Man darf die Serie nur nicht mit dem US Remake verwechseln. Diese Serie kann man problemlos auf Amazon Prime schauen. Das britische Original ist mittlerweile recht schwer zu bekommen und meist auch ziemlich teuer.
