A mysterious arrival in a coastal town ignites a gritty, atmospheric battle between humans and predatory mermaids.
Suspenseful and pulpy. A late-night trip at a measured pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Hulu.
The thing to know: moderate sex and nudity, strong violence, and several jump scares, more than a TV-PG usually carries. Beyond that, mild language and a few tense moments.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the TV-PG suggests, because of the sex and nudity.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
The coastal town of Bristol Cove is known for its legend of once being home to mermaids. When the arrival of a mysterious girl proves this folklore all too true, the battle between man and sea takes a very vicious turn as these predatory beings return to reclaim their right to the ocean.
