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.
@@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.
I love how H20 took advantage of filming almost all scenes outside, nice change of aesthetics compared to how all shows now are filmed on cheesy looking sets 24/7
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.
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
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!
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.
"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.
Thijs Bruijn It really is the best excuse I think the whole world just things we’ve gone nuts because the perfect excuse that we always use is because I’m Australian I mean we have to be a bit psychotic because we all eat about 10 spoonfuls of Milo every day. So some of us might have brain damage from you *cough* jumping off bridges *cough* and you know doing every other dangerous stunt known to man because we’re Australian
@@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 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!!!
@@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
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.
@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
The moon doesn't always rise at night. In the Philippines, I've seen a bright crescent moon at like 4 pm in the afternoon. We're pretty close to australia so I'm guessing its the same there.

@@threexx8808 So true. Honestly, I just don’t consider S3 canonic. Just Add Water ends, in my humble eyes, with Emma showing off her tail to her crush and Cloe, Lewis, Rikki and Zane happily together 😬

@@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.
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! That was the main reason why I studied english btw, my mom has a friend who lives in sidney and now I'm planning to do an exchange program!!! I hope I can see all the beautiful things Australia have
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.
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.
this was my absolute favorite tv show when i was younger, and also the first tv show I've ever binged. It will always have a special place in my heart no matter how bad it is lmao
'CAUSE I'M NO ORDINARY GIRL, I'M FROM A DEEP BLUE UNDERWORLD, LAND OR SEA, THE WORLD'S MY OSTER I'M THE PEEEEAARLLL, NO ORDINARY GIRL. I really hope that's gonna be in my exams because I remember nothing else.
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 was obsessed with trying to become a mermaid. Never actually tried any of the mermaid potions in the videos, but I was convinced if I stared at the full moon enough that I would be turned into a mermaid because the first H2O episode I watch was one where one of the girls saw the reflection of the full moon and started acting weird and turned into a mermaid so that firmly cemented the idea of the full moon causing mermaids in my little mind
They show a lot of australian teen shows in germany. Especially the Jonathan M. Shiff productions. Others are for example Dance Academy and Emma's Chatroom, that was also mainly produced in australia.
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.
I loved this show so much! I think it was also popular because sit wasn't typical in the sense that it wasn't just about the romance even though there was a lot of it. It was also about their growth in their powers and as people and you just see how much they changed by the end of the series. I loved this show so much I watched it three times through if not more! And this was in high school and college haha!
If we're doing my childhood shows, do Winx Club next. (I do know he doesn't do animated shows. People pointed that out already. But thank you for the kind reminders.)
@@cecasander No. They aren't. I should know. Mangroves are sort of disgusting up close but not dangerous. Reefs are cool, like you can swim right up to a shark with no fear of it eating you. The only time they're dangerous is if you're in crocodile territory. Then they're terrifying. Australia is not as dangerous as it seems. As long as you don't touch anything dangerous, anything dangerous won't touch you. E.g. an eastern brown, the third most deadliest snake snake in the world, once slithered across the path I was walking down 3 metres away from me. It didn't kill me or even look at me, so everything is fine.
I watched the show when I was younger and I always envied the freedom that the girls must’ve felt when swimming. Imagine being able to swim anywhere you want and getting there extremely fast, being able to see clearly under water and swimming with fish! It might be boring in murky cold water, but the water shown in the show always looked warm, blue and clean.
Well I mean the only sea I know is grey and ice cold but you ain't gonna see me complaining about making friends with whales:) I'm gonna be the real little mermaid and scare tourists in copenhagen
Thanos: I am inevitable

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
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! That was the main reason why I studied english btw, my mom has a friend who lives in sidney and now I'm planning to do an exchange program!!! I hope I can see all the beautiful things Australia have
Que similaridades?

Okay then gacha kid, tell me what simple physics is if your so “smart”.
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.
Cleo: “...Why me??”
Zane: “Because you’re here, Cleo“
Me: LMFAO WHAT???
Zane's a dick. Hot though.
@@bi_cycle hes ugly lol
@Bi Cycle He’s really ugly just be honest

Same like I know the acting is bad and most of th plot doesn't make sense but I still love it any way

Yep
Meanwhile Rikki was normal and became a ballerina.
Not just a werewolf, but a hyrbrid. Damn. Imagine being a werewolf, a hybrid and a mermaid.

3.Say stuff like So CoOL

*saur cwool
Zane gives off strong draco malfoy/prince zuko vibes. Like...jerks turned decent.
Yo this show had me convinced that I was a mermaid and could get possessed by the moon
meeeeeeee!
jazmiiin xx I wouldn't never look a full moon because of this shown
CC Joker makes two of us sister lol
My sister is hipnotized now
Retro Gamer is she convinced if she tried hard enough she can control water bc sameeeee
First off, the boat scene is attempted murder.
Yeah I was so CoNFusEd
How so she wasn't even that far from the pier, she could of just jumped off and swam for it?
Jackalope She can't swim. Hence "attempted murder"
Yea but isn't she technically swimming in the cave later on? Then she becomes a mermaid so is she a mermaid who can't swim?
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 will never get cleo saying *sO cOoL* out of my head now
Sameeee
I don't recall her saying "Cool" so often, but I could be wrong.

It's crazy how much Cleo changed between season 1 to 2

I was that one 6 year old that searched up "Real mermaid potion" on youtube
@@getscared14 Ok good im not the only one
I was obsessed with trying to become a mermaid. Never actually tried any of the mermaid potions in the videos, but I was convinced if I stared at the full moon enough that I would be turned into a mermaid because the first H2O episode I watch was one where one of the girls saw the reflection of the full moon and started acting weird and turned into a mermaid so that firmly cemented the idea of the full moon causing mermaids in my little mind
I mean... who didn't?! 😂😂👉🏼👈🏻❤️
lmfaoo me
I recorded a whole “how to get real mermaid powers” on my ds when I was like 9😗
Every time the so cool thing came, I just couldnt breathe 😂😂

As an Australian I am genuinely shocked the rest of the world knew about this show. I loved it as a little kid.
They used to play it on Nickelodeon
Every girl in germany loved it it was on tv all the time theres also a animated spinoff in germany
They show a lot of australian teen shows in germany. Especially the Jonathan M. Shiff productions. Others are for example Dance Academy and Emma's Chatroom, that was also mainly produced in australia.
Also in the Philippines. I thought it was American show lol
@@MissEynah of course i loved emmas chatroom the whole travel across ur phone thing and i know some 20 yo who still watch dance academy
THE ACTING USED TO BE MUCH BETTER WHEN I WAS A KID💀💀
I KNOWWW I WATCHED THIS AGAIN AND IT WAS LIKE ANOTHER SHOW
No one:
Me at age 9 when water hit my hand: *oH NO IM GONNA BE A MERMAID*

I was a twelve or thirteen year old boy watching that show religiously lmao
Anyone: says something
Cleo: 👁 👁

sO cOoL
But now you gotta review the Sequel Series “Mako Mermaids” it’s on Netflix!
Angela its a spin off sis
bryson jackson eh same thing, it even has Rikki in it as a cameo in an episode (the best mermaid of course)
In my Country it's still coming on KIKA 😂
Never fancied mako mermaids, always with the OG show
Angela mako mermaids is better to me
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.
Wait until he finds out about "Mako Mermaids" - your world will TURN
We don't talk about that
If only it was half the series h20 was
@@venusflytr4p537 wait, it was a girl's show!?
cause that's actually the bad shit
Ew
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?

Just Australian things...

theres also emmaR
and what about it ? *_yOuOR cAuNt gOr iNtOr tHe wAtAr_*
SKSKS
I loved this show so much! I think it was also popular because sit wasn't typical in the sense that it wasn't just about the romance even though there was a lot of it. It was also about their growth in their powers and as people and you just see how much they changed by the end of the series. I loved this show so much I watched it three times through if not more! And this was in high school and college haha!
WHO ELSE PRETENDED TO BE MERMAIDS WITH UR FRIENDS IN THE POOL
I it ify
Yes.
I WAS 7 DONT @ ME😖
Yes. And i pretended by myself in the tub.

(me at 8, pretended to be mermaids in my best friends pool after watching h2o lol)
If we're doing my childhood shows, do Winx Club next.

sofie db YES
Yeeeesss
The truth
YES UNDERRATED COMMENT SKSKSKSK
Yes! Take my money and soul! :’)
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
I used to pretend I’m a mermaid but I got exposed when we had swimming lessons 😅😂🤣
I love that after H2o Cleo and Emma both worked on The Originals and Vampire Diaries. That fact made me so happy lol

they actually had an apartment together in LA and claire (emma) told phoebe (cleo) to audition for the vampire diaries

Cleo said reefs and mangroves like they're the scariest things in the world
So cool
They're Australian reefs and mangroves though, so they actually might be.
@@cecasander ...you have a fair point
sO cOOl
@@cecasander No. They aren't. I should know. Mangroves are sort of disgusting up close but not dangerous. Reefs are cool, like you can swim right up to a shark with no fear of it eating you. The only time they're dangerous is if you're in crocodile territory. Then they're terrifying. Australia is not as dangerous as it seems. As long as you don't touch anything dangerous, anything dangerous won't touch you. E.g. an eastern brown, the third most deadliest snake snake in the world, once slithered across the path I was walking down 3 metres away from me. It didn't kill me or even look at me, so everything is fine.
I watched the show when I was younger and I always envied the freedom that the girls must’ve felt when swimming. Imagine being able to swim anywhere you want and getting there extremely fast, being able to see clearly under water and swimming with fish! It might be boring in murky cold water, but the water shown in the show always looked warm, blue and clean.
Where I live the water is beautiful clear blue
@@iziahh280 So cool
Well I mean the only sea I know is grey and ice cold but you ain't gonna see me complaining about making friends with whales:) I'm gonna be the real little mermaid and scare tourists in copenhagen
