Clocking in at only five episodes, Sirens is one of the most easily binged original shows that Netflix has dropped in a while, but viewers may be shocked to discover that the ending is bittersweet at best.
Older sister Devon (Meghann Fahy) is furious about this as she has had to care for their sick father, Bruce (Bill Camp), entirely by herself, whilst also attempting to hold down a job with a demanding boss.
Read on for a spoiler-filled overview of the Sirens ending on Netflix, including an exclusive interview with writer and showrunner Molly Smith Metzler about the key moments in the season finale.
Sirens ending explained: Creator talks shocking finale
The younger DeWitt sister had been in a difficult spot over the past 24 hours, which had seen her relationship with Ethan (Glenn Howerton) implode and the trust between herself and Michaela rapidly erode.
The truth was exactly as Simone told it – that Peter had initiated the kiss, and she had quickly broken it off – but it couldn't stop Michaela from considering her treasured assistant a threat to her marriage.
She betrays Michaela, informing Peter of the private investigator she hired and directing him to the safe holding the incriminating photos, which would have nullified the prenup that the couple had signed – thus giving Michaela access to his fortune.
That very same day he debuts Simone as his new partner, seamlessly taking the place by his side that Michaela once occupied, with the addition of his children and grandchildren – who his ex-wife had discouraged him from contacting.
It's not an easy decision to make, especially following the offer of a luxurious boat trip with love interest Morgan (Trevor Salter), but she concludes that she has to go where she is most needed – for now, at least.
In an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com, creator Molly Smith Metzler discusses the key developments in the Sirens ending –read on to see what she had to say.
Why does Simone get together with Peter?
"I think there's the story we tell ourselves, and then there's the real story – and I suspect that Simone has is telling herself a certain narrative so that she can do what she does," the screenwriter began.
Metzler continued: "And the person that she really trusted and loved just betrayed her and fired her – and didn't listen to her. And I feel like, when you corner someone like that in such an extreme position, it is a moment of survival.
So, while she may not be truly in love with Peter, she's prepared to couple up with him in order to protect the status, comfort and protection that she has gained as a member of his household.
What's next for Michaela after her divorce?
Sirens creator Metzler told RadioTimes.com: "I've spent a lot of time with Michaela now – 15 years since the play. I can tell you my answer, which is that she was a high-powered attorney before Peter.
Theorising on what the future might hold for Michaela, Metzler added: "Maybe she'll become a kind of lawyer that does something different, maybe an animal activism lawyer [or an] environmental lawyer, I don't know.
"But I think that is a character who's gonna land on her feet, for sure."
Will Devon get her happy ending?
In our chat, she told RadioTimes.com: "I feel bittersweet about her ending as well... People are really, really wishing that she made a different choice at the end, maybe a more fun choice. But in my experience, it's never easy like that.
For now, though, Devon appears committed to caring for her ailing father, pushing to one side the neglect that he showed herself and Simone in their youth to be there for him at his most vulnerable and isolated.
