The series tells of a strong drama we live through the story of a former criminal returning to his home in Orville, where there are many secrets uncovered in that town. This series begins with many investigations with these strange populations in those areas. The investigation reveals the existence of half a human being called the Tidelanders which may turn things to another turn.
A TV-MA take on mermaid lore, Tidelands is a completely serviceable drama series. It's average in most places and slightly above average in others... If you're into lots of violence, sex and nudity set to the backdrop of mermaids, give it a shot.
For all of its unnecessary violence and bizarrely place nudity, Tidelands is strangely boring. It has no verve, not even a crazy, ridiculous one - at least that would have been entertaining.
