comment
Sirens is an American remake of a British series, produced by Denis Leary and airing on USA Network. Like its Transatlantic Equivalent, it tells the story of three EMTs — Johnny, Hank, and Brian — as well as a police officer, Theresa, who also happens to be Johnny's on-again, off-again girlfriend (the series opens with them currently taking time off.)The show was cancelled after its second season.

Old People are Nonsexual: In one episode, the guys try to get the image of a porn film involving a woman and a horse out of their heads. Then they burst in on two elderly people in the throes of passion, which grosses them out so much that they nearly accept the woman and the horse.

comment
Sexiness Score: In "Transcendual", Johnny, Hank and Theresa start frequenting the gym, and all enjoy the Workout Fanservice, to the point they start to rate them numerically On a Scale from One to Ten. But Johnny becomes uncomfortable "rating" girls with Theresa or even the idea of her going to the gym and other guys start rating her. Eventually, Hank and Theresa also start to feel uncomfortable when they realize their "overall hotness" is much lower in the gym when they're surrounded by Hunks and Amazonian Beauties. So they decide to stop going there and go to the zoo so they can feel likes "10s" again.

Dynamic Entry: A realistic example in "Rachel McAdams, Topless", Johnny kicks down a door when a medical alert patient doesn't respond to his knocking and shouting. He turns around and horse kicks the door open after three tries, unlike the immediately effective face-on push kick or shoulder ram often seen in TV and movies. He and the team immediately regret having done so, however.

Poke the Poodle: When an Asshole Victim is rendered temporarily deaf by a lightning strike and ranting about suing anyone and everyone, Johnny and Hank start saying absolutely vile things to him, with "suck on Satan's nutsack" being one of the nicer things. When they try to convince Token Good Teammate Brian to do the same, the best he can come up with is "I don't like your shoes." Naturally, this is the one thing the guy actually hears.

Inter-Service Rivalry: Cops vs. Firefighters personified by Teresa and Johnny's fathers constantly clashing. Johnny's somewhat neutral on the matter because he's a paramedic working for a private company. Later taken further in a debate over charcoal (cops) vs. gas (firefighters) grills. The two sides, plus Johnny, unite over the pomposity of doctors.

We're also treated to two scenes featuring genuinely moving performances from Michael Mosley and Jean Smart only for the show to veer back towards loud and broad comedy.

Val got "Voodoo" for being a bit of a Nightmare Fetishist and a word play on her name, Valentina Dunacci.

All Gays are Promiscuous: Played with. In "Till Jeff Do Us Part", Hank boasts that he's currently seeing four different guys, but three other gay characters who've appeared on the series are in committed relationships, and it's strongly hinted that Hank's promiscuity is just his way of covering up the insecurities that he's developed ever since his last serious relationship fell apart. Ramon, Billy's cousin, asks Hank to visit him in prison but mentions that he'll probably be juggling multiple guys while inside.
