Mako Mermaids

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.

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!

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.

I watched H2O when it came out and I was actually looking forward to Mako Mermaids since it was meant to have everything I loved about H2O and my favorite actress from Lightning Point. The first season of Mako Mermaids was on par with the first season of H2O in my book and I would give it a 7 out 10 if that was the only season. However, the show started to go downhill after they decided to continue it as a sequel to H2O rather than as a prequel like the first season was intended to be. This creates a ton of conflicts, continuity problems and plot holes both between H2O and within the different seasons of Mako Mermaids itself.

I have loved watching this series. But I am not sure why it veers off from the original story-line. The series started with a focus on the merman Zac Blakley, but from one season to the next, has consistently changed its focus. Not only has Zac become a side story, the show has also switched the mermaids surrounding him without explanation. Don't get me wrong I love this show, however the story-line from season to season lacks consistency. It's a little hard to keep track of the story when the main characters such as Sirena who reveals her secret to the boy she likes just disappears in the next episode... Anyway I hope they keep making new episodes (because I love this show) I just wish they'd keep to one story-line from one season to the next.. and make Zac or the mermen a more prominent subject as the story-line insinuated in the beginning.
