When I heard that they were making a spin off of H2o just add water I assumed that it would be terrible, luckily I was pleasantly surprised. These mermaids have the perspective of being mermaids becoming "land people" rather than the other way around like in h2o which I found to be interesting. Overall, I thought season 1 was pretty good. The plot and adventures were very interesting. One thing I liked about this season was the love interests weren't quite as predictable and there was even a bit of a love triangle going on. I thought the mermaids personalities were likable and interesting ( although Lyla got on my nerves a bit). The Merman Zach was an interesting addition because he doesn't always agree with the mermaids and that gives an interesting conflict to the story.
In the first half of season 2 however, this all goes out the window. First of all Nixie and Lyla are gone with a VERY weak explanation. So now we have Sirena and Ondina and I forget what the brunette is called. Sirena I still like, but ondina is really whiny and the brunette is very forgettable and is a very flat character in the first half of the season. Probably the worst part is this new guy Erick. He is totally incompetent at his job at the juice place, yet never gets fired and is incessantly trying to get Ondina to go out with him while she plays hard to get. Then he is revealed to be a merman. Ohh wow what a shock ohh wait he is seen as a merman in the title sequence since the first episode. He seems to exist solely as a love interest for Ondina. The thing that annoys me most about him is that in season one they are like oooh Zach's so special he's the only merman and now they've decided actually there is many mermen out there. The only redeeming part of this is the last episode were we find out (major spoiler alert) Zach is the sister of the brunette and was always a Merman. I am hoping the season will get better from here and keep mako mermaids alive
