the way sirens starts by framing michaela as a sinister figure manipulating simone into ostensibly worshiping her, but gradually reveals that actually she's just a severely isolated and deeply lonely woman who resorted to hiring an assistant who could essentially be her best friend and yet her husband still finds a way to take that from her and use that against her to rip away what little scraps of independence he's allotted her over the years

Sirens was sooo good, it's a show thats just so my jam. Beautiful setting, costumes that catch your eye and the juicy twisty turns when the rich and powerful get involved. I just love a good show about women, sisterhood and surrogate mother figures etc. We as women often are seeking validation externally and this series showcases that beautifully. Be it Kiki and her rich lifestyle as Mrs Keller, Simone and her pride in her dedication to catering to Kiki or even Devon. Devon may not think she's the same and I'm sure a part of her takes care of her Dad because she does care for him/feel responsible for him but I also think it's because she needs the validation of somone who actually needs her to take care of them. I think she needs to feel needed, maybe her mom not taking her with them in the car made her feel unessesary or unwanted. Maybe thats another reason why she enjoys sleeping with men, to feel needed by them even it's a subconcious thought. I think that's why she really does feel a bit bad when Simone says she's off antidepressants and doesn't want to leave. That must sting.

But still always the contrarion I actually found Simone a lot more relatable. The shit both those girls went through in their childhood, Christ. I felt like shaking Devon at some points and screaming "IT IS NOT UP TO YOU WHETHER SIMONE FORGIVES YOUR FATHER". Like I am a firm believer as somone who has toxic family members, other people cannot make those decisions. If anything Devon should know that more than random people who don't know Simones past. Their father having alzhemiers does not equal Simone needing to be responsible for him. I think the monetary support wasn't even deserved if she didn't want to. You just cannot make those decisions for other people, which I think the series showed at the end when Devon finally let Simone go, the show may be showing that as a negative but tbh I think both girls needed some time apart after that whole shebacle.

And Simone God love her, you can disagree with her choices but if you say you can't understand them then you have had a priveledged life. Girls been running her whole life and when she thinks shes reached a safe harbor it all gets ripped away. I don't even blame her for running straight to Peter, cause she looked at her options and didn't have many left to choose from. Simone may still be running but she'll be running in expensive ass gymwear at the least.

And poor Michaela, who we realise in the biggest twist of the show is in fact just a normal woman. All the women are. They are not Sirens, or monsters or tragic heroines to be saved and pitied they are just women. But the men will never see them that way because it seems to them women will always fall into two categories, the Madonna or the Whore or rather those you can blame or those you can save. You can start as either but you will end up both at some point. To men anyways it seems. I loved Juilianne Moore in this role, so surreal and ethereal truly living up to the title of the show. All the women did but Moore's whole voice and vibe was just "mwah" chefs kiss.

Basically I really reccomend this show. The music and setting are also so haunting and sad in some parts, usually at night, it was very contrasting to the bright preppy daytime scenes and really worked for me. I think people who went in expecting another murder mystery or cult thing might be dissapointed but I thought the show subverting that whole idea was fantastic. No one is killed or dies. No one is a cult leader. And no one is an actual monster or Siren. It's just a show about women. And I loved that.

sirens was so. devastating and beautiful and awful. like what if the story was wrong? what if all those sailors who crashed their ships into the cliffs did it just because they saw something beautiful and wanted to claim it. and when they couldn’t, they made the girls into monsters. you pushed me off a cliff, you broke my heart, you ruined my life you did this to me … and all they were really guilty of was not loving someone the way they wanted them to. not being the idealized blank doll they were supposed to be.

maybe the only way michaela could protect simone (from her husband? from being blamed for someone else’s guilt? from her own fate?) was by sending her away.

maybe the sirens are trapped on their island, forever sought after by men who refuse to admit that it was their hands on the wheel when the ship changed course. maybe the sailors have more power over their fate then they want to believe. maybe it’s just easier to blame someone else… to turn them into a monster.

maybe the sirens were singing just to sing.
