58 of Netflix's Best Miniseries, From "Queen Charlotte" to "Mask Girl"

No, this isn't about "The Little Mermaid." Netflix's limited series "MerPeople" dives into the world of professional mermaiding. Performers dress up as mermaids — complete with heavy, intricately designed tails — to dive into water tanks to amuse adults and kids alike. The series focuses on the performers who bring these delightful, otherworldly performances to life. But the mermaid world comes with a heavy cost. Tails can cost in the range of thousands of dollars, and to be able to perform underwater, a merperson has to have incredible stamina. The docuseries provides a look at a unique world and the passionate people who bring it to life.
