The conclusion of Netflix's latest mini-series has left viewers 'lost' and, quite frankly, angry.

The streamer is a gold mine for bingeable TV shows and its newest addition is from the creator of smash hit drama Maid.

The 2021 release stormed the Netflix charts and later charted again a couple of years later after going viral on TikTok.

Starring Margaret Qualley and co-produced by Margot Robbie, it tells the story of single mother Alex as she turned to housekeeping in a bid to create a better life for her daughter Maddy.

But she is doing all this while escaping an abusive relationship.

The mini-series is inspired by Stephanie Land's memoir Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive.

Well this month, Smith Metzler has returned with an adaptation of her 2011 play, Elemeno Pea.

Now titled Sirens, the dark comedy boasts a star-studded cast - and mostly positive reviews, having been compared to HBO's White Lotus.

The story follows Devon DeWitt (Meghann Fahy), a working-class woman recently released from jail, who travels to a luxurious coastal estate to reconnect with her estranged sister, Simone (Milly Alcock).

Simone has become the personal assistant to Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore), a charismatic and manipulative billionaire socialite.

As Devon attempts to pull Simone away from Michaela's influence, the story unfolds over a chaotic Labor Day weekend as romantic entanglements, power struggles and deep emotional rifts all come to a head.

It's stellar cast also includes Kevin Bacon, Glenn Howerton, Felix Solis, Josh Segarra, and Bill Camp.

Despite only just releasing on Thursday (May 22), fans have already blitzed through all five episodes.

Many have taken to social media to complain about its ending - but don't worry, we won't go spoiling it here...

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one person complained: "The ending of Sirens on Netflix... Literally the f**k?"

"On the finale of Sirens… Netflix just loses me," a second agreed, as a third wrote: "The ending of this show pissed me off so much."

Many reviewers have compared Sirens to White Lotus - we'll let you interpret that as you wish...

USA Today dubbed the show 'the next White Lotus,' while Slate claims it's a 'candy-colored take' on the hit show.

Ahead of the show's release, Smith Metzler told Netflix Tudum: “This story has a lot of teeth. There are real moments of drama, and it’s going to make people uncomfortable. Operatic is a word I like to use to describe it. It’s a true dark comedy - and it’s got a Greek mythology vibe.”

Sirens is available to stream now on Netflix.
