This was actually a very different take on the standard mermaid mythos. The execution was flawed. The actors did an ok job with what they were given, and you could tell they were working with a shoestring budget. My biggest complaint would be the pacing and the ending. This is NOT the type of film that needs, nor deserves a sequel. So to have a cliffhanger ending was a disservice to the audience. They could have cut 30 minutes on the front end and focused on the mythology for the 2nd act and tied everything off nicely in the third and final act. This felt more like one long first act that tried to introduce the 2nd act, hence the need for a "To Be Continued..." ending tag. Could have been much better. But if you have an hour and half to kill, it is not bad to leave on and give it go.

1980's nostalgia on steroids! LOVE IT! For those of us that are of the same generation as the leads in this show, it is a wild trip down memory lane to our high school youth. If this is not your generation (X) then this show will probably seems cheesy and corny and not worth your time. But it is done extremely well and William Zabka steels the show. He encapsulates the 80's with witty comebacks and cut-downs. Highly under rated actor. I would have loved to see his career blossom more after the original Karate Kid. But alas, he has embraced his character and the impact it has had on his real like. The fact that they were able to bring back various characters from the original two films is amazing. I LOVE THIS SHOW.
