Tidelands

Beautiful Australian land and seascapes, gorgeous women, handsome men... an interesting premise. The show really shines in the beginning when it plays more like an Animal Kingdom type of crime drama. However, when it shifts to focus on the fantasy elements, the story and some of the acting becomes cringeworthy at times. The better actors tend to be the supporting characters. The lead is okay, but when forced to play against the weaker actors, her own limitations are more exposed.

I might watch next season to see what happens... but it's a bad sign when I'm struggling to finish rather than staying up all night trying to see what happens.

While the concept looked interesting at the beginning, everything ended up ruined by the bad script, the bad acting and stupid cliches. Characters doing every little stupid thing that they shouldn't do just got boring really fast. Very bad CGI and make up. What a way to ruin Siren Mythology... They came up with an interesting concept and they just ruined it by turning it into a greasy Soap Opera. I can't believe I watched this!

Not a masterpiece, but how many series are!? It left me wanting to know moore about the Tidelanders,hoping for a season 2

I found the premise for this series intriguing. Unfortunately, there was little character development and a randomness to the character's actions. Most of the scenes alternated between sex and violence. I've watched shows that were equally sexual & violent but - because of the randomness - both seemed gratuitous.

Not great, not good. Pretty people dealing with secrets of all kinds. Some episodes have short steamy scenes. Some acting that is not wooden. If you're looking for something to bingewatch on a Saturday night and don't care about what you're watching, give Tidelands a try.
