The series “Disobedients,” a new Netflix production created by Mae Martin, has just premiered and has already accumulated 48 million hours watched.

In the story, a group of teenagers isolated in an institution face a rigid psychological system that distorts their sense of freedom. And if you finished the season without understanding the ending, Olhar Digital explains everything to you.
Watch the explanation of the ending of Disobedientes, the hit Netflix series
In the last episode, Abbie, Leila and Rory (John Daniel) manage to escape from Tall Pines, hiding in the institute’s minibus. However, the bold move to abandon the field quickly attracts attention. The police and guardians immediately begin an intense chase, transforming the young people’s escape into a dangerous race against time.
Meanwhile, Alex is captured by Dwayne and brought back to Tall Pines for Evelyn’s final ritual. The director had planned to brainwash the police officer.
Evelyn’s fall and Laura’s rise
Evelyn’s fall and Laura’s rise occur in sequence. First, the academy’s leader, Evelyn Wade (Toni Collette), is neutralized. This comes about through the betrayal of Coelha (Rabbit), who frees Alex from Dwayne’s (Brandon Jay McLaren) capture, and brainwashes Evelyn with the same chemical cocktails the director used on young people.
Then, Laura, Alex’s wife, emerges as the new power figure, establishing the new cult. In fact, in a disturbing moment, he declares that his son “belongs to everyone” in the community.
Agent Alex Dempsey’s dilemma
The crux of the explained ending of Netflix’s “Disobedients” lies in the dilemma of police officer Alex Dempsey. Initially, we are led to believe in the illusion of escape, where Alex abandons his life in Tall Pines. However, the series quickly reveals the sad reality: this escape was just a fantasy in the police officer’s mind.
Therefore, Alex decides to stay in the city. The motivation behind this choice is that Alex is seduced by the idea of a “normal,” heteronormative family life, which means he sacrifices his moral compass for the illusion of belonging.
The freedom and sacrifice of Rory, Abbie and Leila
Rory, Abbie, and Leila’s bittersweet farewell illustrates the high costs of escaping control. Surrounded by the authorities, Rory sacrifices his freedom. He confronts the police to divert attention, ensuring Abbie can escape. Therefore, Rory is arrested again.
Abbie escapes, being the only one to reach freedom, using the car Alex left behind for the getaway. Despite this, her best friend, Leila, remains in town as she has nowhere to go, conforming to Tall Pines’ new control.
