... and I'm instantly invested in everyone! I'm not even a huge mermaid fan but I watched this because a friend recommended it and I was hooked. This docuseries does a great job spotlighting people you care about, and you want to see them succeed. Four episodes almost felt too short to dive deep (no pun intended) into their subject matter!
I hope they consider making a season 2 where they spotlight some of the pros in their industry. Some of the judges and even contestants from the competition in Episode 4 were really fascinating, and I'd love to see more of them. For example, William (the Merman from Hawaii) was spotlighted in a few talking heads, but it seems like he's been a pro at this for a while and I wonder what that's like. The series right now does a good job of focusing on people who want to get into this industry, but I actually want to know about guys like him (and some others) who seem like they've been in this industry longer. Just to get that balance!
Anyway, if you're on the fence about watching this one, definitely give it a watch. I hope you fall in love with these merpeople as much as I did!
