I watched Sirens fully expecting the women to be the sirens and it turns out Kevin Bacon was the siren all along (a sentence I never thought I would say or write) more specifically the fake safety that comes with being a rich guy's trophy wife fake because you're only safe as long as Peter Kell or whatever rich guy you gave up your whole life for deems you worthy of being safe and the second he doesn't anymore you fall off the face of the earth and he'll even let you think you have power and joke about how his family's house is no longer his but really nothing not even yourself belongs to you but you'll see a rich wife's life and you'll be hypnotised and dream of having it anyway because the combination of capitalism and trauma makes the alternative look so bleak and you have to be strong as a rock to resist that siren song and keep choosing you with all the shit that comes with it
Which is why i still liked Devon's ending she chose to go back and build her own life not disappear into Morgan's life or rely on her sister's new fake power for however long it lasts she saw what it did to Michaela and drew the right conclusions
