Las sirenas de Mako

Where 'H2O Just Add Water' was charming and magical. With characters you could relate to. This series is rather a let down. And is it a prequel or a sequel or a spin off?

This time the mermaids are not accidentally came to be these creatures but are from the pod of mermaids that keep watch of Mako island. So where have these creatures been? In the original there were none. And this time the mermaids have to adjust to live on land. A young man accidentally falls into the moonpool on Mako island during a full moon and thus become a merman. The pod blames the three mermaids and they are banned as the pod leaves for saver waters. The three mermaids Nixie, Serina and Layla must find a way to return Zac (the merman) back to normal and set things straight. It could be a great series bit it lacks the charm of the original and it's mainly because the majority of the characters is very unlikable.

I've never felt so at home with a movie or series before. It's fantastic. Everything I've ever wanted from a series. It's great both for girls and boys (at least for me, 'cause I'm a boy). I wish they'll make another season. It would mean the world to me. It's one of those movie which you wish you never forget after having watched it, and one of those movies I'll watch again and again.

Mako's Sirens (Mako Mermaids) is an Australian fantasy series created by Jonathan M. Shiff, which is part of the H2O: Just Add Water universe. In three seasons and 68 episodes, it follows the story of Zac Blakely, a teenager who becomes a newt after falling into the magical waters of Mako Island. Three mermaids, Nixie, Lyla and Sirena, try to remove her powers to protect their secret, but their mission is complicated by the ties they weave with humans.

The magical universe of the series is particularly captivating, with beautiful underwater landscapes and neat special effects that make the story immersive. The characters are endearing and each brings an interesting dynamic, between friendship, adventure and mystery. The plot, punctuated by twists and turns, keeps the suspense and makes you want to discover the rest. A real pleasure to watch for all lovers of fantasy and escape!

Few years ago i saw H2O Just Add Water and loved it. Now i see Mako Mermaids and finished season 1 on Netflix in 2 days. I'm curious as to see what is going to happen now that their new found friendship has changed. The cast in this new TV series are very good actors/ actresses. Not bad for a very young new faced kids. Very hard to swim like Mermaids/mermen. Believe me I've tried my entire childhood life. I wished to swim like a mermaid but never nailed it. lol. Very good job by this cast. Even though this show is meant for a young group of people, I am a 36 year old woman, fascinated by what will happen next. So anxious. When is season 2 coming out? I really want to know what happened.

Gave up on the series quickly during season 2. On the one hand, all of the concepts I wish I had seen in H2O appear in this show: we get to see mermen, some mermaids lore and magic, mermaids who turn to humans instead of humans turning into mermaids, a mentor figure for the trio of mermaids, and while those elements felt alright, I felt the quality of the writing faltered. The characters and storylines were uninspired and convoluted, especially with the antagonist at the end of season 1 almost entirely forgotten about later on. For me, it was a letdown and if you liked H2O, you may not like it as much either. One positive I have to bring up, strangely enough, is I prefer the blue tail for the mermen over the orange tail given to mermaids as it's a nicer colour in the water.
