I LOVE to read and watch anything supernaturally-inspired. As a matter of fact, I'm SUPERNATURAL-obsessed. Give me vampires, werewolves, ghosts, ghouls, haunted houses, urban legends, and cryptids! I love them all. Including sirens. There was a wonderful siren romance novel I read years ago for which I cannot recall the title nor the author. Hopefully, that info will pop into my brain before the end of this email.

Anyways.... where was I?

Oh, yeah! Sirens!

While I'm cooking dinner I like to turn on the oversized iPad we keep on the counter to watch something or play music. When the stove fan gets too noisy or the meal prep requires more than a smidgen of my attention, I'll turn off what I'm watching because I hate missing out on anything when I'm really into a show.

My latest obsession was the Netflix min-series, "Sirens."

It kinda teased a supernatural premise, but even at the end I wasn't sure.

In the series, Devon, is concerned about her sister's (Simone) unhealthy relationship with her fabulously wealthy and high-class boss, Mikaela (who she calls "Kiki" for some reason).

According to imdb, the storyline is summed up as follows:

Devon thinks her sister Simone has a really creepy relationship with her new boss, the enigmatic socialite Michaela Kell. Michaela's cult-ish life of luxury is like a drug to Simone, and Devon has decided it's time for an intervention. When Devon tracks her sister down to say WTF, she has no idea what a formidable opponent Michaela will be. Told over the course of one explosive weekend at The Kells' lavish beach estate.

The genres listed for the series are Comedy and Drama. Dark comedy, maybe. But there was zero laughs.

Regardless of no laughs, I loved the series. It was dark, suspenseful, and addictive. The characters are sometimes over-the-top "odd" but that adds to the atmosphere of the story so it's perfectly acceptable.

However, that ENDING!!!

I won't spoil it but "DUDE, WTH?" I need answers. You can't leave me hanging like this. It wasn't even a cliffhanger ending.

Can I b!tchslap the characters at least for putting me through that? My feelings were all over the place. I'd like a character in one episode and want to throw them off the cliff in the show the next episode, sometimes within the same episode. And vice-versa. At the end maybe I'm not supposed to like any of them.

I only had this visceral of a reaction to one show, "The Ninth Gate" with Johnny Depp. Don't get me started. I'm still suffering PTSD from that one.

There's rumors there may be a second season for "Sirens." I hope so. I know I'll watch. If only to hopefully glean answers to all my questions.

Has there ever been a show, movie, book, that you reached the ending and wanted/needed to throw something in frustration?

If so, reply to this email and let me know what it was and why made it so infuriating.
