A Spinoff of the popular Australian fantasy series H₂O: Just Add Water, Mako Mermaids follows the life of three mermaids and teenage boy turned merman. Sirena, Lyla, and Nixie were three young mermaids charged with protecting the small magical island of Mako during the full moon in order for the rest of their mermaid pod to perform their moon rituals. Unfortunately, young Zac falls into a mystical pool on Mako during a full moon and interrupts the sacred ritual, thus granting him merman powers, but causing the three young mermaids to be cast out of their pod. Equal parts comedy and drama, the series starts off with Sirena, Lyla, and Nixie attempting to remove Zac's powers so as they can rejoin their mermaid family while adjusting to life on land.As of the second season, a few changes have been made to the cast line-up. Lyla and Nixie have left the show, and are replaced by two new mermaids named Mimmi and Ondina. A new merman, named Erik, is introduced as well. The second season follows the girls' continued efforts to remove Zac's powers, Evie's efforts to adjust to the changes in her life, and Zac and Erik's attempts to uncover the secret of the newfound Merman Cave on Mako Island.The third season (fourth on Netflix, as the second season was split in two there), the mermaids have been reinstated into their pod, but continue activities on land with the pod's blessing. A new mermaid named Weilan arrives as a "foreign exchange student" from China, replacing Sirena in the main cast, but a dragon appears to have followed her, and it attacks merpeople every full moon. The mermaids and Zac take it upon themselves to investigate and stop the dragon before it can kill or depower the Mako pod mermaids, as it did to most of Weilan's.The first through fourth seasons are available on Netflix and also premiered on Disney Channel US on January 18, 2016. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
| Mako Mermaids: An H₂O Adventure / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: The pod doesn't believe Zac could have fallen from the ceiling as the main trio claim because there's no opening up there. Unless, of course, it was opened by magic. Which is a thing. That the mermaids know about. Because they're magic. | |

| Mako Mermaids: An H₂O Adventure / int_1420a9b8 | comment |
Scenery Censor: In Season 1 Episode 2 "Getting Legs", when Sirena, Nixie, and Lyla first get their legs, the camera pans away from them and a conveniently-placed tree branch hides the fact that the girls are naked. This trope is only used in this episode with all other natural-born mermaids getting their legs offscreen and their first scenes with legs having them already fully clothed.note For good reason in one case, as the mermaid in question was only about 10 years old. | |

Green-Eyed Monster: Cam towards Zac and the mermaids. He wants a tail so badly he was willing to betray them all, and steal the trident in his bid to gain one for himself. Erik has this reaction towards Zac in relation the Merman Cave. While Erik believes the Merman chamber belongs to all Merman, it becomes clearer and clearer to his growing resentment, that Zac is the only one who can activate it, as by right and bloodlines, it belongs to Zac and no one else, causing Erik to finally snap, and steal Zac's magic, and activate it when Zac refuses to. | |

Zac and Lyla once their relationship devolved into a rivalry. During that time, they would constantly tease and taunt one another, while also complementing the other's intelligence in secret. Even after Nixie causes a Love Epiphany by calling out Lyla's feelings for Zac, their relationship never evolves into anything more. | |

Character Development: Cam's jealousy of the Mermaids and Zac, as well as some abuse he took for the latter turns him against everyone in the first season finale where he nearly destroys the Moon Pool. By the second season, he eventually makes up with Zac, but gets tempted by Erik to again side against the protagonists. But this time, thanks to Zac and Carly, he keeps his moral center and remains an ally. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In "Lyla Alone", when Sirena and Nixie try to buy new clothes from Evie's shop with Rita's doubloons. When Evie discovers how they paid for the clothes, she not only refuses to accept the doubloons and returns them to the girls, she threatens to call the police if they do not pay her properly the next day. Erik gets fired by Carly after he skips work one too many times, her decision being backed up by David after he returns from his business seminar. Shirking your job despite putting in a good effort when you do show up for work will still get you fired. | |

Revolving Door Casting | |
| Mako Mermaids: An H₂O Adventure / int_43ff290e | comment |
Revolving Door Casting: Despite the show ostensibly revolving around a trio of mermaids, that trio never stays consistent; Season 2 replaces Lyla and Nixie with Mimmi and Ondina, and Season 3 replaces Sirena with Weilan, resulting in a completely different main cast at the beginning and end of the series. The supporting cast remains far more consistent. | |

Wham Shot: In the third episode, the girls are breaking into the house of Rita, the stern school principal, to get back a confiscated moon ring. They find a secret passage leading to an underwater cavern, wondering why a principal would have a cave linked to the ocean...and up swims Rita in mermaid form, who's dumbstruck to see the trio staring right back at her. | |

Stumbling in the New Form | |

Stumbling in the New Form: When most mermaids first walk on land they have trouble standing up for very long and their brand new leg muscles ache from the lack of use, the exception being Weilan who grew up spending plenty of time on land hiding from the Water Dragon. | |

Cats Are Mean: Averted. Poseidon is generally well-behaved and approachable. When briefly turned into a human resembling Evie, he continues to act all pleasant and curious (if appearing exceedingly unusual to unaware humans). At times, the cat even appears quite confused over why mermaids keep freaking out in his presence. | |

Bathroom Search Excuse: Evie wants to investigate the strange goings on by the residents of Rita's house, so she insists on tagging along with David's seafood delivery and then uses the bathroom excuse to wander the halls. She improves her odds by waiting for David and Sirena (who have a mutual crush) to be distracted by each other and asking Sirena, who is too lost in David's eyes to consider Evie's intents. | |

Royal Blood: Zac, and to a lesser extent Mimmi, learns that through their mother, Nerissa are descended of the Mermaid and Mermen that ended the great merman-mermaid war and ruled over the sea in peace. Therefore, contrary to what Erik believes, the Merman chamber, that was built by the merman king, is his and his alone, and only responds to his magic. | |

Meaningful Name: By the boatload. Nixie is a Germanic water creature much like a mermaid. Sirena is related to the Greek Sirens, which are sometimes mistaken for mermaids. One origin of the name Lyla is a term to refer to someone who is from an island. "Ondina" is a genus of sea snails; it is also a variant of "undine", a mythical water-related elemental being. | |

Casting Gag | |
| Mako Mermaids: An H₂O Adventure / int_6ec4232f | comment |
Casting Gag: The Spanish dub was directed by Elena Ruiz de Velasco, who played a couple secondary characters in the dub of Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch, and it seems she couldn't resist the temptation to bring some of her former cast mates. Sirena is voiced by Carmen Podio, who voiced Mimi in Pichi Pichi Pitch, while Carly is voiced by Sara Polo, who played Luchia. (Also, guest character Rikki is voiced by Belén RodrÃguez, who voiced Karen, though RodrÃguez already voiced Rikki back in H₂O: Just Add Water a year before Pichi Pichi Pitch was distributed in Spain). | |

Idiot Ball | |
| Mako Mermaids: An H₂O Adventure / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: Everyone gets a turn passing it to each other at times. Literally half the plot problems and conflicts in the first season are misunderstandings that could be solved by the characters stopping the "We can't explain it/It's too complicated" justification and actually explaining things to each other. It gets especially bad when characters refuse to explain the fantasy elements to those who are already aware of the in-series magic to begin with. | |

Belligerent Sexual Tension | |
| Mako Mermaids: An H₂O Adventure / int_75d6bf40 | comment |
Belligerent Sexual Tension: Most apparent in season 1: Zac and Lyla once their relationship devolved into a rivalry. During that time, they would constantly tease and taunt one another, while also complementing the other's intelligence in secret. Even after Nixie causes a Love Epiphany by calling out Lyla's feelings for Zac, their relationship never evolves into anything more. Cam and Nixie also have an apparent rivalry with several moments of teasing, but they too never get together. | |

Humanity Ensues | |
| Mako Mermaids: An H₂O Adventure / int_7950239f | comment |
Humanity Ensues: Though completely voluntary, and still not quite human, when they first take human appearance, the girls have a hard time figuring out walking and spend their first episodes getting used to human traits from what to eat to going to the bathroom. One episode sees Poseidon (Rita's cat) accidentally transformed into a copy of Evie. Poseidon doesn't even seem to notice that a change happened, but his/her odd behavior, and the fact that many characters claim to have seen Evie in places Evie knows she wasn't, cause quite a bit of confusion for the rest of the cast. It's later revealed that Zack was born as a merman; his mother transformed him into a human using a powerful spell that couldn't be broken by contact with water until he fell into the Moon Pool. | |

Mermaids also hold Elemental Powers and magic, and there are different varieties of regional mermaid.

Ambiguously Evil: Erik appears to be plotting something terrible, but he might just be interested in the Merman Cave because of its significance to merman history. He sets forth a series of actions in the chamber after stealing Zac's powers that put all of the mermaids at risk. Granted he was trying to do it for a good reason, to protect the mermaids with the power, but he completely ignored all evidence to the contrary and lied, schemed, and stole to get that far. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Mako Mermaids: An H₂O Adventure / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Many situations and scenes are similar to the original series. Zac drinking floating bubbles of water from the air was originally done by Cleo. Like Emma, Zac had a promising watersports career which was brought to an abrupt end by becoming a merperson. When Zac tries to stop the surprise pool party, he starts to boil all the water in the pool away, which was done by Rikki to get revenge on Miriam for being, well, Miriam. Mimmi and Zac's telepathic connection is identical to the one Neri, Mera and Charley shared in Ocean Girl, allowing them to see what the others were looking at. A double reference since in both cases, the connection is used by siblings. Like Rikki, Evie has only a father, their mother simply isn't around, though it is later explained that Evie's mom died sometime before the show. Evie using her moon ring to automate the domestic chores is similar to a scene from Lightning Point where Zoey uses her Luminan powers to do the same thing. In both cases, frustrated with how long it is taking, they decide to use an turboboost and naturally, it goes horribly wrong. (See also, of course, the Sorceror's Apprentice sequence in Fantasia.) Wishful Thinking is an episode-long reference to Lightning Point. They even reuse one of the stock photo props. Like Cleo, Mimmi gets a job at the local water park that involves using a cart to sell merchandise. And whenever they are rostered to feed animals near water pools, the level of waterproofing clothing they wear causes the other employees to wonder if they are mildly eccentric/crazy. Season 3 of both mermaid shows has the local hangout purchased with funds provided by the father of a male character (Zane and Cam) in order to save it from permanent closure with the additional motivation of intending this to give their sons business management experience. And the first decision of the new co-owner is to add a house band. Season 3 of both shows begins with the girls being attacked by magical water. In the old show it's a "water tentacle", in Mermaids it's a "water dragon". Both seasons end with their threats resolved in a highly positive way. Mimmi revealing her tail to Chris has a very similar feeling to when Emma revealed her secret to Ash. | |

Secret-Keeper | |
| Mako Mermaids: An H₂O Adventure / int_9f970427 | comment |
Secret-Keeper: Cam is this for Zac. It's particularly hard for him to be so, because Zac initially wants to reveal his powers and be a superhero. Lyla manipulates events so the mermaids also become this for Zac, but they already knew he was a merman. Later, Evie becomes one as well, before becoming a Mermaid herself, followed by Carly, David and Chris learning their friends secrets as well. | |

Lunacy | |
| Mako Mermaids: An H₂O Adventure / int_a8c9ac97 | comment |
Lunacy: Genuine mermaids (Evie is not one) get the energy for their magic from the Moon Pool, and one can become a mermaid (or in Zac's case, regain his merman powers) by being in the Moon Pool on a full moon. Furthermore, inexperienced merfolk can be overwhelmed by the full moon's power, lapsing into a trance or drugged-like state. | |

Adults Are Useless: Viridia and the Mermaid Council, while well meaning, are all so locked in their prejudice against Mermen and Humans, that they're attempts to solve some of the situations often make the problems much worse. Averted with Rita however, whose advise and council to Zac, Evie and the Mermaids, often points them in the right direction when searching for a solution. | |

Erik also shares a name with a Little Mermaid character. In season 3, they keep using the phrase "little mermaids" when referring to Ondina's students (she was given the job of teaching junior mermaids). | |

Continuity Drift: It's clearly in the same universe as H₂O: Just Add Water, set just a few years later, and yet... In the first series there is a fairly ordinary, if surprising to the unwary, aboveground entrance to the Moon Pool chamber. It is open at all times. In the second series, the mermaids start out believing that there is no aboveground entrance. They learn better when the magic of the full Moon allows Zac (and, later, Cam) to fall through the roof of the cave and into the pool, but still without leaving any visible hole. For even more drift, in the last few episodes of the series, Rikki (from the first series) "visits" and says the cave hasn't changed from when she knew it, despite the absence of the old "sliding" entrance. Mako Island is the home of the "Mako pod" in Mermaids, and it is established that the pod has been in the area for some time. But somehow the pod never encountered any of the mermaids from the first series, despite both group's frequent visits to the island and to the Moon Pool. In contrast to Rikki's non-reaction to the former change, she is rightfully shocked to learn that real mermaids exist. | |

Arch-Enemies: By the end of season 2 Zac and Erik's hard friendship takes an immediate dive to nemesis. Can't really blame Zac after Erik attacks his best friend, holds his sister hostage, steals his magic and takes possession and activates his cave on Mako. | |

Hate Sink | |
| Mako Mermaids: An H₂O Adventure / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Joe, David's brother, never gets any positive character development, his presence tends to make things worse for the main characters, and none of the main characters like him—not even David, who speaks to him in an irritated tone most of the time and celebrates when Joe has his boat impounded. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: It is an indication of how bad your personal relationship with Mimmi is when she stops being nice, opting for direct animosity or confrontation. | |

Freudian Trio | |
| Mako Mermaids: An H₂O Adventure / int_e8cae797 | comment |
Freudian Trio: in the first few episodes it seems that Nixie is the Id, Lyla is the Superego, and Sirena mediates between the two, but the remainder of the series seems to have Lyla and Nixie reverse roles. | |

Jerkass | |
| Mako Mermaids: An H₂O Adventure / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass: David's brother, Joe. Just in his first appearance, he sees an unusual blip on sonar (a mermaid) and decides he just has to chase it down and find out what it is despite it obviously doing its level best to get away from him. He also treats David like shit at every opportunity, even callously taking his share of the cafe out, forcing David to close, because he thinks he can make more money buying new equipment for his trawler. | |

Running Gag: Carried over from the original series, a merperson falling to the ground if the transformation is unexpected. A mermaid seeing Poseidon (Rita's pet cat) for the first time, reacting with panic, and usually screaming. Subverted with Weilan, who loves cats and immediately starts cuddling him, but Weilan is already accustomed to life on land by that point anyway. | |
