"Mermaids": Netflix miniseries reached 69 million views
The Netflix original series "Mermaids" shows that it won over the public by reaching 69 million views in 2025. With just 5 episodes, the miniseries brings an engaging plot that was in 1st place for two weeks among the most watched productions on the platform.
Launched in May 2025, the miniseries tells the story of Devon (Meghann Fahy), who decides to get in touch with her sister Simone (Milly Alcock) so that they can both help care for their father with dementia. However, Devon observes his sister's strange behavior towards new boss Michela (Julianne Moore).
The plot takes place over a single weekend, develops intensely and is ideal for marathoning in a short time, as the episodes total less than 5 hours.
The production is an adaptation of the play "Elemeno Pea", by Molly Smith Metzler, which she herself was responsible for adapting.
When watching the miniseries, the audience encounters tension, intensity, conflicts, secrets and a visual composition that delivers fluidity through the film's aesthetics.
