Sereias e Tritões

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.

The intro took my breath away. The triumphs and realness of the merpeople stole my heart.

I have been a fan of mermaids forever. These stories deserve to be told and I loved every minute of it! I wish there could have been 6, 8, or 20 episodes because I was fascinated the entire time.

We watched all four episodes in the span of two days and we are now following all the people on social media!

I wish we had gotten to know some of the other mermaids featured. They all looked amazing and a lot of fun. I want to meet more nonwhite non-skinny merpeople.

Seriously Netflix, you had better give us more mermaid content please.

A good collection of stories, and they followed the MerPeople chosen from start to finish. But it was poorly edited and some things got left on the cutting room floor.

Overall 6/10 because bad editing cuts the audience interest.

I give the stories 8.9/10 because they did do a good job of showcasing all the variety and being honest.

I mean, who didn't dream of being a Mermaid? I think anyone who did should watch this. I support the dreams of bringing more beauty into this world, and MerPeople do that and this documentary showcases how the dreamers never give up.

Be Fintastic, Be Mermazing!!

I didn't think this series would hold my attention, going into it, but decided to keep an open mind and give it a whirl. After all, I enjoy documentaries, and I watched Tiger King, so surely I could sit through 4 episodes learning about mermaids. I'm so glad I did! I found it much more entertaining than I would have guessed. I would never have dreamed how extensive this whole world is! There's a whole community that have dedicated their lives to living life like a mermaid, for various reasons. This includes film footage from the 60s, from the OG mermaids, which I found very interesting. Like almost any series produced recently, I feel like it could have been edited down a bit more, but I still enjoyed it.

If someone had told me when I was a kid that I could one day become a professional mermaid, I probably would have said yes! :D

This short series is actually eye-opening and now that I know more about it, definitely I would not be a professional mermaid. Not that it's not cool - it is. But the level of athletic ability needed to be one is high.

The series follow a few of these talented performers / swimmers, showing us what it takes to do what they do. It's not easy. And there are definitely down sides, some of them dangerous.

We also get to meet some of the artists who make mermaid tails and personal aquariums. Honestly, if I could afford it, I would get one, fill it with small fishes, and swim with them. :D

Being a professional mermaid or merman is a niche job, a life-style, and a passion. It's not for everyone, and that's super ok.
