Party Girls



Great Show!
It's teenage drama without the WB angst.
While, I am a very big fan of such things as Buffy, it's nice to see a teenager drama that's just fun.It has a a lot of heart and it's well written. And that has always been my biggest criteria for watching a show to begin with.
Jonathan Schiff is one of my favourites, He was the one who produced "Ocean Girl" an award-winning children's drama that was on 4 years back in 1994-98.
But another very strong part of any of his shows is friendship and loyalty. The girls who are now mermaids might not have been friends if it weren't for being mermaids, but they stick together. They also have the support of Lewis, a boy who has feelings for Cleo but both are too awkward for the expression of it, but he's got their back against those that try to expose them. Together, they are a team. They are friends. And they'd sacrifice everything for each other.

Cute Show
This is a really cute show. Innocent, island adventures with three mermaid girls. For this genre it is very good. Great for teenage girls, but I must admit, I like it and I'm not a teenager. Nice little movie to multitask to. I clean my room and work on projects while it is playing. Hard to find sweet little shows like this one these days!

An Amusing Youth-Oriented Australian Import About Ordinary Girls Channeling Their Inner Fish
Targeted primarily at young girls under the age of thirteen, "H2O: Just Add Water" has a goofy and appealing premise that will tap into your love of mermaids. You do love mermaids, don't you? Three sixteen year olds discover a mysterious glowing pool of water through an underwater channel that will upend their lives irrevocably. This adventure has long range repercussions as each of the girls find themselves transformed into a mermaid! Needless to say, they must avoid contact with the sea to keep their flippers a secret. There is plenty of humor surrounding these changes, but the show never really addresses the fundamental questions that you really care about. What happens when it rains? As if this wasn't enough, though, they also have other powers over water as well. Rikki (Cariba Heine) can boil water, Cleo (Phoebe Tonkin) can manipulate it, and Emma (Claire Holt) can freeze it. That would be useful at a party, huh?

"H2O: Just Add Water" ran for three seasons in...
