What Parents Need to Know
About H2O
Parents need to know that despite a far-fetched plot and some cheesy acting, there's a fair amount to like about this Australian fantasy drama series for tweens. The characters struggle with realistic issues like peer pressure, popularity woes, and self-esteem -- and, in the end, usually conclude that they're happy to be their own unique selves. The series also underscores the strong bonds of friendship, though it seems to do so at the cost of strong parental roles, since the girls keep their life-altering secret from their folks. There's very little iffy content to worry about -- no language, violence, or drinking, and only a bit of flirting.

A bit frightening for disney channel
My 7 year old brother and I were watching this show after dark. We were surprised and kind of freaked out by the scary music, and weird creepieness. Then we saw an ad for the next one, and it showed one of the mermaids getting cut and turning weird and creepy. There was a little kid reaching into the water, and suddenly a hand from the water reaches out and starts pulling her in! I was very shocked and I thought it was WAY to innapropriate for little kids who watch disney channel. It was SCARY!
