My Thoughts:
I had seen a handful of this new show's episodes on Netflix when the girls came to visit, and could see why they loved this live action teen series. I have to admit, I found it entertaining.
So, when I was recently sent Mako Mermaids: An H20 Adventure Season 1, Volume 1 DVD to review, I knew just the girls to ask to help me review. My nieces were excited and couldn't wait to have sleepover weekend, so that we could watch the first 13 episodes in this series, as well as the bonus cast interviews. We had a blast reliving the first season of this teen hit, and the girls can't wait for Easter as I told them I would get them the second volume, so that we can watch the remaining episodes (14-26).
If you are still trying to figure out what to get for you tween/teen for Easter, why not surprise them with these two new volumes with make up the Mako Mermaids: An H20 Adventure Season 1.
