As is much of chick lit.

What the heck kind of an ending was that that I just watched? It makes no sense, Simone is way too smart for this nonsense.

1. The phrase ‘chick lit” his offensive and sexiest

2. The show Sirens is based on a play. There is a book “Sirens” and it is not related to the show at all.

Agreed. The ending was straight up lazy writing.

Yes, Moore knocks it out of the park being so (seemingly) genuinely kind and also out-of-touch crazy rich lady.

I thought it was very telling that Simone didn't identify with the help and all the hate actually detested her. How realistic is that? Would the PA be removed from the rest of the help? Would they all loathe the PA or are they really one of the drudges rolling their eyes at "mistress" too? If I were Simone it makes more sense to try to be a balm or a salve or a buffer to the rest of the help rather than tiny second dictator...

A PA would absolutely be in a tier above the rest of the help. The hierarchy of a household staff has indoor staff above outdoor staff, and assistants above all else-- think "ladies in waiting."

The staff hated Simone because Kiki, like many manipulative people, lives her life having other people to do her dirty work. Kiki didn't care one whit about the help and would whisper her complaints about the help's work to Simone. Simone was expected to enforce what Kiki wanted. Simone was always acting on what Kiki wanted. She was the one who had to deliver the ridiculous demands.

Simine is young Kiki with a sweet innocent demeanor and more daddy issues.

TBH I’m bummed there was no cult. It was cool when it felt like there was gonna be some eco-spiritual-problematic something.

Then, it just ended up being misogynistic and tiresome.

I don’t think the demands were ridiculous tbh…if you’re paid to make smoothies and the person doesn’t drink them, so what? Have the smoothie or give it to another staff member. Same with the chairs and the event, it’s the job. I’ve never been rich or had staff but I have done work that seems pointless. That’s life, not some great hardship.

Yes- it's a bit of whiplash to switch from one old guy to an even older guy in what, 8 hours or so? I feel like Devon had more of a connection with Pete, but Pete's gonna Pete. He'll lock down his assets and get a new young hot thing.

I don't think the issue was the nitpicky work.

I think the issue was the demeaning way that Simone delivered the orders. Speaking to her more experienced coworkers like she was a power drunk kindergarten teacher.

This. They realllllly hated her. Usually people know "don't shoot the messenger" but in this case the messenger was worse than the demeaning requests. It was like a multiplier effect. And even though PAs are in a higher tier, it's pathetic when one thinks that they are friends with their bosses. I mean pathetic like I actually felt bad that Simone really thought that.

Really? You "have done work that seems pointless"? Because this reads like it is coming from a SAHMommy who has no clue about what it is to work your a$$ off only to have to change gears due to capriciousness.

I've worked my ass off my whole life, including the sort of work portrayed on this show. But hey, let's insult people because they have different opinions.
