Mako Mermaids: Volume 2 TV series presented on DVD.
Sirena, Lyla and Nixie are three young mermaids from the Mako Island pod. It
is their sole duty to keep trespassers away from the magical Moon Pool, but on
the night of a full moon, the mischievous mermaid girls neglect their duties.
Zac, a land dweller, enters the Moon Pool and forms a special connection with
Mako. He is given a fish-like tail and amazing powers.
The mermaid pod is forced to leave Mako, leaving behind the three mermaid
girls, who have been cast out of the pod. They know there’s only one way they
will be allowed to rejoin the pod: They must get legs, venture onto land and
take back Zac‘s powers -or risk being outcasts forever.
Mako Mermaids TV Show Review
“Mako Mermaids is a spin-off of Nickelodeon's H2O: Just Add Water, but
the cast is entirely new to this series. The show is geared toward teens, but
it's likely to draw in younger fans as well…the content is conducive to this
wide span of ages…the girls prove that they're more than pretty faces, and
positive themes about friendship, respect, and looking past appearances are
worthwhile for the show's young viewers. Mako Mermaids retains many touches of
the original, most evidently the emphasis on three beautiful teen mermaids who
aren't exactly best friends in the beginning but whose relationship evolves over
time. New to the mix is a male character, and a merman at that, which gives the
show a distinct flair and a little more macho charisma. It's possible that this
change could entice the boy demographic somewhat, but more likely it will just
ramp up the appeal to the girls who are already watching…” 4/5 Common
