The way that this was inspired by Mike’s Mic’s Pretty Little Liar videos, and THOSE were inspired by Jenny Nicholson’s Vampire Diaries video, and Claire Holt was in all three of them. Iconic.

Using a knife as a pointer is the exact amount of unhinged you need to be in order to cover this show.

I'm disappointed. This video could have been great but you didn't mention the fact that Cleo is lactose intolerant.

Mike's mic is totally inspiring, I feel that

not gonna lie 'and nate is there' is a perfect description of his chracter

Congrats to h2o for having THE two most infuriating characters I’ve ever seen on television - Kim and Charlotte

The fact that you are holding a knife in front of a conspiracy board while explaining the plot of a kids show about mermaids makes me feel like I’m held hostage by a lunatic…it’s just perfect XD

Absolutely adore the reach Mikes Mic has given. I haven’t watched several of the shows/movies that have been made from his influence but I watch literally all of them. Outstanding

I always assumed that it was just really humid in Australia and that’s how they froze doorknobs ✋😭

This was a lot of fun! I played Elliott in this show and haven’t watched an episode in about ten years until a friend sent me this! Shame about Elliot’s love life 😂

i am absolutely incapable of skipping over the fact that you said “he gets a few solo plot points and also a MUSICAL NUMBER” and then just KEPT GOING 😭

Please please tell me you mention that Cleo and Kim’s big fights always centered around doing the dishes, when the kitchen had a dish washer the whole time.

i can't tell if i'm elated that someone made a 2 hour deep dive on a show that literally shaped my childhood, or mad that i didn't make this video first 😭 can't wait to watch it !!

“He’s nerdy… he’s caring… and he has a BoAt…” - 🤣🤣🤣

25:30 - I just wanna make a slight note. Cleo doesn’t find another necklace, Emma gives her the one she found in the moon pool after Emma almost gets it stolen by Miriam bc she’s like “anyone who can hide a tail in the middle of a party has got what it takes to look after this”. At this point in the show, and Miss Chatham still has her necklace, and the third one (Rikki’s) turns up later in an antique/fancy jewelry shop

The anxiety i felt the whole time that you were going to accidentally stab yourself was unmatched. 💀Really great video girly!!

The part where you said "And there is no line between Hector the Fish and Mr. Sartori because they don't have any interactions as far as I know" SENT ME. The part where you describe Byron approaching Emma and saying "I saw you over there and thought 'It's Emma'" as insidious was outstanding. Loved this video so much.

My 12 year old self devoured this show! This and House of Anubis were obsessions of mine.

love the knife. adds to the subtle, threatening aura of this whole video and it's very much appreciated. truly the one thing that michael microphone's video needed 😔

Zane had the best story, he grew throughout the series and his relationship with rikki was actually the best romance of the series

i’ve watched this show probably 15-20 times in my whole lifetime and literally can quote it to this day. i was so obsessed w finding a real mako island, trying to make my own tail like the behind the scenes videos, did mermaid spells for hours, and it was like all i watched. for the h2o obsessed bitch thank u.

I know his name is Zane but growing up I had BAD reception on my tv and ALWAYS thought they were calling him “THANE” due to the static on my TV and thinking maybe it was a common Aussie name I just didn’t know. I felt so stupid when we upgraded our cable service and I heard they were saying Zane 😅

this show definitely shaped my childhood both when i was like 6 and again when i was like 10 and rewatched it. does anyone else agree that rikki and emma definitely had some homosexual tension between them. because i vividly remember that in one scene emma's phone background is a photo of rikki and that haunts me to this day

A presentation with a knife i am already hooked

We love a knife girlie

I’m embarrassed how much of a role this show played in my childhood. This breakdown brought back so many memories

Mike’s Mic’s influence is so iconic I love the hours long deep dives into television that have been coming out lately

Possibly unpopular opinion: I like zane. Not at first, but he definitely becomes one of my favorites. I especially like him with Rikki.

“You’ve only gone and become a bloody mermaid!” Lmfao you are gold. Subbing immediately

This isn't how I expected to spend my Christmas but I think this is single handedly the best gift I've watched bruv. Now subscribed and hoping for a solid season 3 recap

Never seen this show in my life and the dolphin getting boiled had me SHOOK

Minor note: 22:56 those are not fake coconut bites, they're lamingtons, which is a common Aussie dessert (white cake with chocolate frosting on all sides, then covered in coconut) it's delicious

i have been WAITING for someone to do this, always thought it would be tyler warwick for some reason. this is absolutely amazing. also, i have watched that pilot so many times and i feel it's my duty to point it out everywhere now, in the first episode, the love interests have matching outfits. ane and rikki literally wear parallel outfits, like foreshadowing at its peak. and cleo's fave colour is famously purple, and the bandana she wears in this is matching lewis's shirt in that scene, which like, just visually shows their crush, i just think it's adorable even if it wasn't intentional, i choose to believe it is. also please do s3, people tend to like it less, and i get it, but cleo and lewis are my faves and in s1 they get together in the end, and s2 they are broken up all season, so s3 is the only time we get to see them be a cute domestic couple and it's underrated.

THANK YOU for loving Lewis as much as i do!!! this show was everything to me when i was a kid so it's nice to see someone talk about it so passionately

I love how in depth this is and I also love that we’re all completely ok with watching you point at things and read from your paper for 2.2 hours 🤣🤣🤣 c i n e m a ✨

My "hot take" is that season 3 is my favourite season. I can't help but love Will and Bella, plus I prefer how the season is generally more mature than the first 2 seasons. You should totally do a part 2 for season 3.

This was my childhood!!! Happy to report that I have watched the whole video and want to say thanks for your dedication, bruv. I also subscribed which means I will be waiting for Season 3! (I ain't holding a knife!)

Glad someone combined my two favourite things long video essays and H2O

“No one will watch this video” GORL, I LOVED THIS VIDEO. You did amazing! I’m here for it, please do more.

Yess!! Mike's mic being a pioneer, love the deep analysis videos that have been popping up on my recommended page

I think the door handle probably had water from everybody's hands. Like, someone had to be wet from the pool, right? Loved the video though, can't wait to ring in the new year with a rewatch of a childhood classic.

i realized while watching this that i still have a vitriolic dislike for Charlotte. all these years later and she still makes my skin crawl. 😬 the scene of her eventual defeat has in fact been in my mind rent free for a long time though.

Imagine you also did Mako mermaids (and wolfblood if you’ve heard of it ) Thank you so much for this. I’ve literally been waiting for someone to do this exact video 🙏🏽

The knife as a pointer was a nice touch 💀💀

God damn that's Mike's Mic, Kyle Kalgren and now this, all from the original seed of Jenny Nicholson's VPD video.

this show raised me more than my own mother

I can’t wait to get into this.. I’m so glad it’s 2+hours. You’re a true fan.

I have been dreaming, waiting and praying for this video.... outstanding. Thanks bruv. :D

Two hour Video essay on H2O? Iconic.

The way I have been waitingggg for someone to do a H20 deep dive ! Amazing video - great work !

watched the whole show 7+ times and still wasnt bored by this !;) also you’re so cool can i just say i appreciate the video ❤

Awesome video! This honestly deserves way more views than it has. It was so well explained, I felt like I watched the whole two seasons again in just 2 hours. Keep it up!

This show meant everything to me growing up, and I can’t wait to watch all of this. Tysm for blessing us with this😌✨

god this is literally a masterpiece ❤;0; great work

Omfg I’ve been waiiting for YEARS for someone to do this thank u for answering my manifestations

i freaking love mikes mic and this was so good too

I'm so happy you did a part 2!!! I was about to beg you to but then I saw in the next up lol

Omg! Do more! I can’t wait for Season 3. I’ve enjoyed this video in parts for 2 weeks. Fantastic content.

The knife being held as the pointer for the pinboard adds to the sense of pure lunacy that this show has, and it perfectly captures the absolutely unhinged nature of this franchise as a whole

The way ur smoothing out luis's picture as u lovingly explain that his roll in the show is to try and help and to fail everytime 😁 we love a poor little meow meow

I listen to this to help me sleep, your voice is soothing

Love the video! This is One of my favorite shows. And I sometimes watch it when I miss it 😅 I really hope you do season three, I’ll be waiting to watch!!!

for the longest time i thought I made this show up in a fever dream until you made this video lmao

Love this show!! Will b watching this in my free time for sure

just finished watching a 3 hour video about this exact same show, can't wait to watch this one too! perfect for listening to while drawing :)

47:43 THIS INTERACTION KILLS ME EVERY TIME IM SO GLAD U INCLUDED IT

This is absolutely amazing! I laughed out loud when I was scrolling and saw this title and thumbnail. I cannot wait to watch this whole thing

THIS IS SUCH A GOOD VIDEO I LOVED THIS SM. The knife adds to the energy

This vid was really nice- ty! H20 is such a nostalgic show for me :)

Binged this video 3 times this week, it’s so good!!! Thanks for putting in all the effort to make it!! Highly entertaining, loving the aggressive knife waving lmao

Thank you for making this so I didn’t have to 😭 I loved this show so effing much as a tween mermaids were my whole life for a phase, we don’t talk about it

LOVED this show growing up ! This show was the first Australian show I watched! After that it was Dance Academy. Later Home and Away and Neighbours !😊

I’ve been waiting for this h2o breakdown

I actually suggested H2o to Mike this year! Glad someone is doing a breakdown. It deserves commentary :p

I need a part 2, loved this so much

Incredible. Thank you for taking this on

It took me a month, watching in bits, but I finished!!! Bravo 👏

I lived for this breakdown ❤🎉love it ✨👏

This was such a delight thank you

never been more excited for a youtube video in literally my whole life

I enjoyed this more than I've enjoyed watching anything in a little while. I've watched it twice & I laughed so much. Would love a season 3 recap!

i loved this, im rewatching this show NOW

Oh my god, I wanted to hype about wanting the second part, but it's already here! MARATHON!

I can’t believe I watched 2 hours of this and absolutely enjoyed it

Amazing content. Loved the detail You dive into. If i have a critique its the printed out pics. They are a little hard to see and would be better substituted with editing. Also loved the whole vibe of the video. Would love a season 3 and a breakdown of Mako: Island of Secrets, and H2O: Mermaid Adventures. Those would be quite interesting as I venture to guess most of us are not familiar with those two.

Have I seen all of H20 twenty actual times? Yes. Did I still listen to this entire video? Hell yea.

“The girls have uti’s. They’re drinking cranberry juice.” To be fair, i would throw a fit too if I suddenly got replaced by a fish tail every time I was submerged in water

THIS WAS SO GREAT

Omg this is the first video ever that is 2+h long that I watched from start to endd and looved it! Youu need to make S3😍❤❤

I really look forward to your next installment!

This show was my childhood I am so ready to have nostalgia and be reminded of things that I probably forgot on purpose XD

this was hilarious and i am BEGGING for vids on season 3 and/or mako mermaids

absolutely loved this h2o breakdown! had me rolling fr this and house of anubis had me RIVETED back in the day. also now that i'm aware of the crimes of juice net cafe, i feel so unsettled lol

the wilfred tag being made and not nate is my favorite thing

I’m absolutely loved this. Can’t wait for season 3

i love this show (and mako mermaids) so much aaa i love how youtube knows this and recommended me this video because i'm absolutely watching all of it ♥️

This breakdown was amazing and i would love to see a breakdown of season 3 ❤

I've been waiting for a video like this

I enjoyed this video immensely, I actually sat down for it. Loved the show, loved this breakdown. Do you plan on doing more?

Oh this is the video I’ve been waiting for!
