Netflix’s fresh dark comedy-thriller titled Sirens concludes by offering an abundance of drama, heartfelt disclosures, and a potent critique on sisterhood and femininity. Masterminded by Molly Smith Metzler, the showrunner from The Maid, this limited series is adapted from her 2011 play Elemeno Pea. The story unfolds during an eventful Labor Day weekend, where it weaves secrets, betrayal, and a particularly striking floral arrangement that stands out.
At the core of Sirens is the intricate relationship between sisters Devon (Meghann Fahy) and Simone (Milly Alcock). Devon journeys to a grand coastal mansion following a bouquet of fruit sent by Simone, who had been unresponsive to her pleas for assistance regarding their struggling father, Bruce (Bill Camp). Their tense dynamic stems from a difficult history; Devon left college behind to bring up Simone after their mother’s passing and their father’s indifference.
As the weekend progresses, their distance grows more pronounced. In an exclusive backstage video, Metzler remarks, “The sirens are always portrayed from the male perspective; we seldom get to hear their side.
Conflict intensifies as Simone’s former partner Ethan (Glenn Howerton), in a heated, intoxicated dispute, accidentally falls from a cliff. Remarkably, he lives, but things take a turn for the worse when a Vanity Fair photographer presents Michaela (Julianne Moore) with an image of her spouse Peter (Kevin Bacon) passionately kissing Simone. Despite Simone’s claims that she ended the kiss and fled, Michaela dismisses her, rescinds her promotion, and orders her departure from their home.
Later on, Simone addresses Peter, who’s now upset with Michaela due to her dismissal of Simone. Simone reveals to him that Michaela placed the photograph in a secure safe. As a result, Peter instructs their handyman, Jose (Felix Solas), to forcefully enter and damage the locked container.
At the grand charity event, Devon accuses Michaela of murdering Peter’s first spouse, but Michaela clarifies that Jocelyn withdrew from society after her unsuccessful cosmetic surgery following their divorce.
The surprising turn of events? Peter chooses to end his marriage with Michaela and cohabit with Simone, exposing a manipulative aspect of his character.
At the last instance, Devon and Michaela departed from the island together, sailing away on the same ferry. They engaged in a subdued discussion where Devon expressed to Michaela, “I don’t believe you’re a monster,” to which Michaela replied, “Simone isn’t one either.
Metzler elaborates on the legend of the series: “In this tale, we label these women as monsters, yet perhaps they’re merely calling out for aid…It seems these sailors are the ones who unwittingly wreck their own vessels.
