Nothing To Do With Mermaids
LIKES:
Music was okay, nothing too memorable.
Locations, sets and wardrobe (in most circumstances) were all good.
Cast was well chosen and acting was good.
DISLIKES:
Writing:
The story had potential but couldn't develop anything because the episodes were so short, so not even character growth could happen.
Production:
Seriously how can you screw up every episode with crappy camera work? Zoom ins that are so close you can see nose hair! Shaking camera, so whether it's on a small screen or big, you feel nauseated. Have they never heard of a stabilizer or camera support? I can film this better using my cell phone! It's like the camera people had the jitters from too much coffee!
FX:
The character with the Heart transplant didn't even have a little scar, let alone the big one they get from surgery. Why do that as his story line, if you don't even try to show a scar. Or at least when he's in the pool, put him in one of those super tight swim shirts that real athletes use.
OVERALL:
Short, easy watch. However due to the crappy production be prepared to get a migraine. I don't recommend it, unless you are REALLY bored. No need to rewatch.
