MerPeople: sirene per lavoro

It definitely had its moments but considering this is the first merfolk documentary I would have loved to have seen more about tail safety and swim safety. Definitely would've loved to have seen more about other tail creators and their stories on how they got into this business and what the future holds for them and the community they've created and not just Mertailor and follow more stories on mers who are out trying to make positive impacts on the environment. There are so many amazing merpeople out there that I feel like should have been interviewed and they weren't. Hopeful for a season 2 so these things have a chance to be addressed.

This was a well done docuseries showing some of the aspects of professional merpeople, but definitely scripted stories. There are so many more true stories out there to be told. This 4-part series barely scratches the surface of this culture. I would love to see episodes on the merpeople who concentrate on ocean conservation, teaching kids and young adults how to become ocean stewards and so many international merpeople that should be featured! They are many talented tail makers that should also be featured and each mer-convention, beginning with the first one in Las Vegas, could be featured. I really hope more seasons are added as this first season doesn't show what the vast majority of merpeople are all about.

Shello! To keep it short and sweet, this show was a surprise all around for me! I don't think I really knew what I was in for when I started watching it and I couldn't turn it off. I obviously enjoyed learning more about the world of Mers and had no idea it even existed. Outside of the fun vocabulary, I actually loved to see the diversity, and joy these folks have in their spaces! Especially because it shined a light on a group of individuals that are living their authentic selves. At times it can be uncomfortable because of how out of the box it all seems, but I think it's important to have perspective switches and discomfort as it can broaden your horizons. This certainly did!

I rated it an 8 only because I felt some of the stories were rushed.

I wish there were more of diversity in skill level and not just ELITE groups. No one mentioned Fin Fun, Finfolk, Vancouver mermaid, Sparklegirlcostume, Jurassicmerman, ETC. There are a lot more tail makers. This documentary is mainly focused on mertailor being the best tail maker and Circus Siren Pod as the best performance group. They should look more into all skill levels and resources for each state and around the world. There are merpeople all over the world! Each state has their pods (groups) who plan get together and events. The conventions that happen like Illinois sunset convention, mermagic con, California mermaid convention, afro mermaid convention, flordia spring splash. This land locked plus size mermaid loves the idea but show more skill diversity and tailmakers. Not just ELITE groups.

First off that silly drama in scene one does more to hurt the Mermaid industry than I can even begin to get into here. Such silly drama, and can totally get us banned from local pools by concerned parents. So thanks Netflix.

Second, you had some of the best and most interesting Merfolk right there! Hannah at your fingertips, and you barely talked to her. Look I'm sure Sparkles is lovely, but I want to have an hour talking to Hannah!!

Also soooo Mertailor centric. Frankly kinda rude to the other makers that you gave so very much time to just this one artist. Finfolk is clearly the other half of that particular level if mercrafting, and you didn't even toss them a mention let alone get a second perspective on the industry.

Honestly the best part was seeing the older Weeki mermaids, and their talent and joy.
