I agree! Australian television is always way behind American television as far as budget but they are super creative and it's nice to watch a show that isn't aggressively over-produced like all American ones.
@@lizzi7128 while we're on THAT topic... i bought myself the entire "ocean girl" series last week ^^ this show was slightly past my time, but i still love it.
@@TeylaDex honestly, I was old enough to not be watching H2O too really but there I was hahaha. Ocean Girl I don't know but I'm going to get to know it.
@@lizzi7128 if you were a bit too old for h2o ocean girl should've been exactly your age bracket ^^ Came out in '96 I think. Bit scifi. The main characters live in an underwater science station ^^ The other one is a girl living on an island swimming with whales. Sma eproducer as H2o btw.
H2O just add water has a sequel series called Mako Mermaids. It’s okay but not as good as the original series which in fact got an animated version of it called H2O Mermaid adventure but still didn’t do better than the original but got higher rating than mako mermaids.
When I was like 9 I used to fantasize about being a mermaid like them, and I would avoid touching water in public cause I truly believed I would grow a tail if I did LMAO The show was so dope tho.
I relate so much. When I was little I stayed over at my grandmother’s for a night and we watched an episode together. Later I went to the bathroom and I literally held out my hand and tried to control the water in the toilet and my grandma caught me doing that. I still remember the embarrassment.
The absolute best era of the show was Zane's redemption arc, and his and Rikki's dynamic. A surprisingly healthy and fun to watch relationship, at least it was to eleven year old me lol
The spin off/sequel had better looking tails to me. Im not sure what the inspiration was, but the H20 tails looked like those snakes you find in the desert. Very dry and textured. In the Mako Mermaids, they added some red stripes in there. And somehow it made it look more like tropical fish.
You were talking about not knowing what the 'fantasy' of this show was. There were two, based on the experience of myself and my sisters! 1) Most girls have a mermaid phase. We like the magic, the idea of breathing underwater, having cool powers, etc. Mermaids are just neat! 2) There was a sense of sisterhood in the show between the friends, and I think everyone wants that kind of friendship in their life. A group that knows you flaws and all, are still your friends anyway, and always has your back. Hope this helps clear some of that up, haha!
@YonahKitty Except Emma had to quit the Swim Team. Also, I thought it was Emma who already had the job and Cleo got her job at the Marine Park afterwards. (Most likely to confront her hydrophobia.)
Well, I definitely know at least one entire episode was devoted to Cleo's weird decision to work at the Marine Park--and then it was touched on several times in different episodes throughout the rest of the series!
@@yowatchie Can't they just dry their hands and become normal again? They turn back when they are dry, no? So maybe they're like holding on to the sink or sitting and then wash their hands. Then they dry it and become normal again. Idk
"I hate that I turn into a mermaid in water, and can hold my breath for hours, tame dolphins, magically control heat, water or ice and swim several miles per hour" -Said absolutely no teenage girl ever
Did they have to hold their breath? They couldn't breathe underwater? If I were turned into a mermaid I'd really be expecting to breathe underwater... but having magical power over something would probably make up for it... I guess... ok make me a mermaid now.
I absolutely love this show. It’s my comfort show. I did not watch it as a child, embarrassingly enough, I found it at the ripe age of 23, (last October) and as a mermaid girl I became obsessed. I grew up LOVING Barbie Mermaidia, the little mermaid, and movies like Aqua Marine. So this movie just like… made me feel like I was a kid again, which is a hard to reach and wonderful feeling. It’s cute, quirky, and light hearted. Also funny! 10/10 as a mermaid girl
I started watching this on Netflix as a pre teen 😂 and I felt embarrassed at the time. I’m 22 now and I still love this show!! No reason to be embarrassed!!!
when i was ten, this show was my shit and me and my friends would spend our lunchtimes at school putting salt on ourselves and chanting "spells" we found on the internet to try to become mermaids,,, did not work
Rafael Alves honestly it probably did some satanic ass shit with how my life digressed after primary school lmao we found the spells on dodgy sites and wikihow what a good time
@@valerieschemicalromance i did the same only with spells to try and basically become Tonks from Harry Potter and be able to change my appearance at will. (I wanted naturally growing blue hair and purple eyes 🤷🏻🤦🏻)
Jackalope she barely gets convinced to swim and she almost drowns. Emma and Ricky dive down and hold her above the water so they can all float. Then she gets super nervous about being a mermaid cuz she hates the water, but Emma and Ricky show her that there’s nothing to fear because she can breathe underwater so then she learns to swim Great show I’d recommend it
I think this show started my love for Australia, idk why, but I REALLY want to go there some day, I'm brazilian but I always wanted to explore the world and I think Australia and Brazil have quite the similarities, it's def a place I would love to visit!

Since my sister binges the entire series over a week... a couple... many times in the past. I know so much about these people. And by much I mean I don’t remember anything about this show since everyone’s character can change on a dime whenever they feel like it. Zane: -villain -friend -boyfriend -villain... again? -rich -poor This man was everything.
@@ciaquine6129 A line from a fanfic has always stuck with me... 'Everything in Australia can be put into one or more of the following three categories: Dangerous, Poisonous, or Sheep.' 🤣 Fic is Make a Wish by Rorschach's Blot if you want to read it. Whole thing is a comedy of errors and full of wacky-ness. You have been warned. XD
I seriously have to say that the dubbing works miracles, the bad acting is not so noticeable, or at least it hides it well. I think that almost always the dubbing in Spanish is good at hiding that, or at least in television series. I remember watching her on TV when she was 6 and now my 3-5 year old nieces discover this show so the whole family is watching it, and my hatred for Charlotte has returned.
I don't think it's the acting if the dub makes it sound better, i think it's the script the actors were given to work with. I also think they're great actors. You can have really talented actors but if the script makes them say stupid lines... then it's not the actor's fault, it's the writers'. Emma and Cleo were great in The Vampire Diaries.
Ah the joys of mutation. Flesh flowing and bones breaking and remaking. Skin dissolving and dripping and new fluids unseen pumping. Also why do people remember the winx ? It was supposed to be dead and its grave desacrated
Sameeee!! I remember being like "When are they just gonna have their happy ending." I hadnt even had my first boyfriend at the time but I was still so ready for her to have hers lmao
9:06 H2O's fantasy is not about love interests, is about friendships, the whole show is built around the three girl's friendship, something that I think was very rare pre-2000's and I think that's the reason why shows like this succeeded in this era, they were pioneers when it came to focusing around the girls' friendship in a very charming and relatable way.
Exactly which is why I hate some of these critics' channels on RUclips because it's just a bunch of young adults. A lot of tv shows are fictional so they're not always gonna make sense
My brain: Don't say it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Don't say it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Don't say it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Don't say it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Don't say it. Also me: I'VE GOT A SPECIAL POWER, THAT I'M NOT AFRAID TO USE-
So come on this is my adventure this is my fantasy! It’s all about living in the ocean being wild and free! Cause I’m no ordinary girl I’m from a deep blue underworld land or sea I’ve got the power if I just bellliiieeevvveeee!
@@810cocoa I'll speak that way anyway, it wasn't meant rudely. My God's don't judge us badly by that. How presumptuous of you. If I'm talking with someone and they're of a particular faith - Christianity or Islam, let's say, I won't say that in front of them. That's enough consideration concerning this in my opinion. This is the internet and I didn't mean it meanly or disrespectfully; my faith doesn't identify that as a sin or bad thing. I hope you can tolerate that, if not respect it.
@@andsprite ok so basically, the mean girl of season 1, Miriam, sneaks into the cOoL hAngOuT pLaCe, the juicenet, and she sneaks into the freezer, and since Emma works there she freezes Miriam by accident, and they have to figure out how to revive her until Emma's boss comes back for work, so yea its pretty complicated , but ARMYYY💜💜💜💜💜💜, btw the whole episode is on the h2o yt channel, so you can just watch it on there
Who else watched this show then proceeded to find ways to turn into a mermaid for a few months until giving up and moving onto some other magical creature.

Jackalope She can't swim. Hence "attempted murder"

Jackalope she barely gets convinced to swim and she almost drowns. Emma and Ricky dive down and hold her above the water so they can all float. Then she gets super nervous about being a mermaid cuz she hates the water, but Emma and Ricky show her that there’s nothing to fear because she can breathe underwater so then she learns to swim

Exactly
A moment of silence because Rikki and Zane didn't end up together. They did them wrong.
they really did crappy writing on s3 zane. i read somewhere that burgess abernathy was or at least seemed disappointed with what they did with zane because zane did all this character growth for him to revert back basically into what he'd been before meeting/falling in love with rikki.
like...he should have had a side quest or something, secretly protecting the girls from the plotting of his father bc (as it seems many people forget) his dad knows their secret and it would have really made for a good finishing arc if the reason zane seemed not care with the internal mermaid drama of the comet and etc (i forget a lot about s3) because we got to see him passionately defending and fighting for the girls' safety. like there were lots of threats far closer to home than that comet that they never would have seen because they were trying to save the world.
someone said it would have made for a good season to have this happen where we see more development of harrison and zane and how zane won't be like his father and his dad, stuck in his business ways, won't change except maybe for the idea that if he doesn't, zane will cut ties with him completely. or not. like harrison still tries to do some business thing with the island and simultaneously thrust the girls into the spotlight and zane figures out another way to save them.
which would give us a reason not to be pissed at his character reverting bc he would be acting under stress idk tho

Since my sister binges the entire series over a week... a couple... many times in the past.
I know so much about these people. And by much I mean I don’t remember anything about this show since everyone’s character can change on a dime whenever they feel like it.
Zane:
-villain
-friend
-boyfriend
-villain... again?
-rich
-poor
This man was everything.
This show made my 𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙄𝙍𝙀 childhood. Like without this show I probably wouldn’t know how to swim.
Katie honestly me too, i swim to THIS day like they do and i cannot stop
doing it that’s just how i swim
haha haha me too
i grew up on this and i still can't swim
Katie ikr I’m litterly going to get revenge on this guy I saw the tittle and I was like what the hell is wrong with him
I still can't swim, was too busy watching the show.😫😂😂
That's so funny that two of the girls both ended up on The Originals😂
and Vampire Diaries, if I'm not wrong!
Yeah they're Claire Holt and Phoebe Tonkin
IKKK I LOOVE BOTH SHOWS 😍😍😍
I was just about to say that! Haha
They've been friends for over ten years and Phoebe even went to visit Claire's baby
Ok but the way cLeoRrRr got yeeted down that cave in the beginning made me ugly laugh 3:18
CleORrrrR, Oh MY GAwWWWWd
I LAUGHED TOO HARD AT THIS😂😂 THATS EXACTLY HOW THEY SAY HER NAME WITH THEIR STRONG ACCENTS 😂😂😂🤣🤣
THE ACTING USED TO BE MUCH BETTER WHEN I WAS A KID💀💀
I KNOWWW I WATCHED THIS AGAIN AND IT WAS LIKE ANOTHER SHOW
It's funnier when you realize two of those Australian mermaids became part of The Originals cast XD
Ben Wasserman yep
Ben Wasserman and the ranger guy in season 3 became Lucien
Ben Wasserman that’s not funny
@@SofiaChan6 Then ironic/coincidental- take your description
Ben Wasserman i was rewatching it and then i’m like HALEY? REBECCA?
This show made me believe that I could actually become a mermaid lol
yeah me too

Alex: the only things to do in Australia are swimming and trying not to die.
Me, an Australian: well you can.....ummmmm....
Yeah you’re right.
this show took place in new zealand the mako pool is in new zealand
@@irebamia pretty sure its set in Australia
@@ciaquine6129 A line from a fanfic has always stuck with me... 'Everything in Australia can be put into one or more of the following three categories: Dangerous, Poisonous, or Sheep.' 🤣
Fic is Make a Wish by Rorschach's Blot if you want to read it. Whole thing is a comedy of errors and full of wacky-ness. You have been warned. XD
@@irebamia not true how is there sun and warm weather
@@irebamia no it was filmed on the Gold Coast :) in QLD
I seriously have to say that the dubbing works miracles, the bad acting is not so noticeable, or at least it hides it well. I think that almost always the dubbing in Spanish is good at hiding that, or at least in television series.
I remember watching her on TV when she was 6 and now my 3-5 year old nieces discover this show so the whole family is watching it, and my hatred for Charlotte has returned.
I don't think it's the acting if the dub makes it sound better, i think it's the script the actors were given to work with. I also think they're great actors. You can have really talented actors but if the script makes them say stupid lines... then it's not the actor's fault, it's the writers'. Emma and Cleo were great in The Vampire Diaries.

I was a twelve or thirteen year old boy watching that show religiously lmao
alex don't pretend that you *didn't have a mermaid phase* as a kid, we ALL did
I absolutely didn't as a child. However I'm having my mermaid phase now at 25 lol
imnotaimee It’s just the boys didn’t want to admit it lol
No I had a fairy phase because of the winx club
Francis Glasco bruh winx club is my shittttt
Ah the joys of mutation. Flesh flowing and bones breaking and remaking. Skin dissolving and dripping and new fluids unseen pumping.
Also why do people remember the winx ? It was supposed to be dead and its grave desacrated
How did I watch this show and never realize that they were Australian?
Wolfs Howl16 same here! I just thought they had a strange accent growing up 😂
I honestly just didn’t realize they were in Australia. Just thought they had fancy accents
I just read the translation so I wouldn't know.
Same, i couldn't even tell from there Australian accent when i was a kid

Zane gives off strong draco malfoy/prince zuko vibes. Like...jerks turned decent.
But still Rikki and Zane was my first big ship
Weronika W. Same
Sameeee!! I remember being like "When are they just gonna have their happy ending." I hadnt even had my first boyfriend at the time but I was still so ready for her to have hers lmao
Yep me too
Same
idk why but i thought Rikki was gay
9:06 H2O's fantasy is not about love interests, is about friendships, the whole show is built around the three girl's friendship, something that I think was very rare pre-2000's and I think that's the reason why shows like this succeeded in this era, they were pioneers when it came to focusing around the girls' friendship in a very charming and relatable way.
(also, Season 3 of this show is really good btw go watch it)
Exactly which is why I hate some of these critics' channels on RUclips because it's just a bunch of young adults. A lot of tv shows are fictional so they're not always gonna make sense
@@--s.s.c-- why do you watch them then?

She also falls in head first when she clearly slipped feet first too 😂
@@nviz47 don’t speak of God in such way
@@810cocoa I'll speak that way anyway, it wasn't meant rudely. My God's don't judge us badly by that. How presumptuous of you. If I'm talking with someone and they're of a particular faith - Christianity or Islam, let's say, I won't say that in front of them. That's enough consideration concerning this in my opinion. This is the internet and I didn't mean it meanly or disrespectfully; my faith doesn't identify that as a sin or bad thing. I hope you can tolerate that, if not respect it.
@@810cocoa if you were joking, apologies - I can't tell your tone on here, that's my mistake

Rikki is literally me when my best friend tells me a story. Also I’m Australian and I have to say that you are totally accurate about Australia.
How’d you not mention the episode where they straight up kill a girl and have to figure out how to revive her
IS THIS WHEN MIRIAM WAS SNEAKING IN THE FREEZER AND THEY ACCIDENTALLY LOCKED THE DOOR SO THEY HAD TO UNFREEZE HER HAHAHASHHSHHA
That was kinda her fault
What the-
@@TheWolfblade87 IT ISSXSSSSSSDSSSSSS
@@andsprite ok so basically, the mean girl of season 1, Miriam, sneaks into the cOoL hAngOuT pLaCe, the juicenet, and she sneaks into the freezer, and since Emma works there she freezes Miriam by accident, and they have to figure out how to revive her until Emma's boss comes back for work, so yea its pretty complicated , but ARMYYY💜💜💜💜💜💜, btw the whole episode is on the h2o yt channel, so you can just watch it on there
Me an adult knowing H2O is made for preteens and is super cheesy:
🧜♀️ MeRMaiDS
Not gunna lie now I know it’s free and I can watch them anytime... I’m going to have them up in a pop out window while I do other stuff...
Kasandra Newman my
It's made for kids, not pre-teens
Anyone: says something
Cleo: 👁 👁

sO cOoL
Who else watched this show then proceeded to find ways to turn into a mermaid for a few months until giving up and moving onto some other magical creature.
When Cleo and Emma turns into a Vampire and Werewolf in the Originals.
YES
They ain't gonna be a normal human being I guess...
Phoebe Tonkin was both a Vampire and a Werewolf in the Originals, and also played in Secret Circle as a witch. So that's 4 different supernaturals.
omfg yes glad somebody else caught that because I watch this show a long time ago I followed their Careers
@@petersteenkamp ive never watched secret circles. is it good?
So the name of the show is basically, Water just add Water
Lumineon Lover basically yes :)
Ikr 😂😂
My names water ...
Just add water
It's a good thing they just called H2O if they just called it "water just at water" I think it would confuse more people

8:54 “What if you did nothing, but every hot guy fell in love with you anyway?” You know, I see the draw of Twilight now…😂
Something I’d like to point out is that Cleo and Emma are played by the same actors who played Hayley and Rebekah in The Vampire Diaries
And The Originals
Damnnnn. They came a long way.
How the heck did I not recognize them both sooner???? X3
cleeeer and eeema
I saw that and was like OMG what if it was cannon in some way?!
my favourite part of this show was Cleo's character development.
Yeah. Her character changed a lot throughout the show.
Ya man that was "so cool"
Zane's too
Isa A.
And then there was season 3
Random_ Weeb because she’s a relatable character
Let’s be real we all wanted to be mermaids with powers back in the day😂😂
