But <em>Younger<\/em>, <em>Secrets We Keep<\/em> and <em>Sirens<\/em> are worth watching for more than just their cool locations. Each offers compelling characters and addictive narratives that are ideal for holiday viewing.<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Younger\u2019 (2015-2021)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Younger ( Season 1 ) - Trailer VO\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rw9zFMbkQks?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s safe to say we all want to be a little bit younger or just start over our lives in some way. For the fortysomething Liza Miller (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/sutton-foster\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Sutton Foster<\/strong><\/a>), she\u2019s blessed with a natural beauty that lets her get away with claiming she\u2019s in her twenties at her new job at Empirical Press. It\u2019s not just for vanity\u2019s sake, though \u2014 she\u2019s doing it because the ageist publishing industry favors young workers like book editor Kelsey Peters (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/hilary-duff\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Hilary Duff<\/strong><\/a>). It helps Liza snag some men, too, but how long can she keep up lying about her age to get ahead in life \u2014 and love?<\/p>\n<p>With 87 episodes now available on Netflix, you probably can\u2019t watch all of them this weekend (and if you do, please seek help), but you can binge the first season, which is the best of the bunch. Foster is primarily a Broadway actress, but she shines here in a rare leading role that utilizes her intelligence and charisma.

After the boy\u2019s nanny, Ruby (Donna Levkovski), goes missing one night, she investigates the circumstances behind the woman\u2019s disappearance. What she finds, however, is a cover-up that involves her friends and neighbors, who don\u2019t seem to care about Ruby at all. Was Ruby murdered? And if she was, why did it, and why?<\/p>\n<p>While <em>Secrets We Keep<\/em> is yet another \u201crich people doing bad things\u201d story, it\u2019s executed flawlessly with a terrific lead performance by Hansen as the increasingly worried \u2014 and conflicted \u2014 Cecilie. The ending is a shocker, but to find out why, you\u2019ll just have to watch <em>Secrets We Keep<\/em> over the long Memorial Day weekend.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/81697668\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Secrets We Keep<\/em> is streaming on Netflix.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Sirens\u2019 (2025)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sirens | Official Trailer | Netflix\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nxSpZ9khchU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Estranged sisters who reunite over a dramatic weekend?

That\u2019s easier said than done, as Simone is working as a personal assistant to Michaela Kell (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/julianne-moore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Julianne Moore<\/strong><\/a>), the wife of a billionaire who is throwing an elaborate party at her palatial home over Labor Day weekend. Devon crashes the party to persuade Simone to come home, but she soon discovers Michaela isn\u2019t a woman you want to cross.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to pass up a show that features beautiful people in beautiful places doing terrible things. Hell, that\u2019s most of what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/nicole-kidman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Nicole Kidman<\/strong><\/a> stars in these days. She\u2019s not here, but Julianne Moore is, and she has a blast playing a charismatic woman who likes people worshipping her. Fahy and Alcock are equally good, too, and the three actresses invest enough emotion in the material to make it surprisingly moving by the end.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/watch\/81749984?source=35\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Sirens<\/em> is streaming on Netflix.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/3-great-netflix-shows-to-watch-on-memorial-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some people have their Memorial Day weekend all planned out: parties at the beach, a flight to see some relatives, or watching the latest Tom Cruise action movie.
