1899

1899 is a strong contender for the best feel-bad show of the year, with its conniving characters, unrelenting suspense, and grim stakes. It's a case of atmospheric gloom overload, and it proves all the more frustrating considering that the show's aesthetics are otherwise effectively spooky.

Like Friese and bo Odar's previous streaming gem, this supernatural thriller is so knotted up that trying to untangle its mysteries is not simply challenging but borderline headache-inducing-generally, in the best way possible.

With its mystery and horror, 1899 manages to right the ship, even if it's sometimes confusing. The truth is, fantastic costuming, strong performances, dynamic set design, and a score of modern songs that somehow works in the period context keep the series worth watching.

A perfect 10/10 for me.

Peoples are not watching it on Netflix there are other sources to watch. Netflix should give them a second chance to release season two because all people are loved this season. Because of financial issues you shouldn't have to postponed this amazing series we need it please peoples around the world like it after watched season 1.

I've come here after completing S1 and have so much praise for this show. It's absolutely worth watching. If you're easily bored because you're a victim of today's instant gratification problem, then this show is 100% not for you. It's meant to be a slow burn and to keep you wondering what the heck is going on, which is a good thing! If it's confusing to you or feels inaccessible the first watch, watch it again! Some TV shows and films are not meant to be understood the first time around.

Comparing it to Dark-> Yes, it's not as good, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Of course it's not going to live up to the masterpiece that is Dark. That kind of story telling amazingness only happens ever so often and we are lucky the the creators of Dark made another fantastic show for us. I swear, ppl don't know how to appreciate the time and effort filmmakers/directors put into making shows anymore. If you have a better idea on how the show should be written, then write about it in detail in your review, don't just give empty complaints.

Overall- you should watch this show. It's engaging, aesthetically pleasing, dark, psychological, and just mind-bendingly fun.

This show was.. busy to say the least, nonetheless it was intriguing. The actors were chosen wisely & characters well written. Every time you think you have it figured out & know what's going on there's a U-turn. The way the last episode ended made it clear that the story was going somewhere with a lot more twists & turns & answers to audience questions. I'm not sure what these networks base the decision of cancellation on, but when I look at IMDB ratings & reviews I just do not get it! Netflix, Prime, Hulu, etc must not check out this app/site prior to finalizing giving a lot of these shows the boot or don't take into consideration that new viewers are going to watch the show after all episodes have been released which would alter how many people tune in on each episode's release & even if an entire season is put out at once, a lot of people will finish binge watching whatever they're on before moving to the next. Some people may not start a new series until they & their significant other both have the free time to start it. The list of reasons can go on. I just feel that so many great shows w/great potential aren't given the proper chance to peak. At the very least there should be a system, if a show doesn't perform as expected in the first season the writers/producers/show in general should be given a second season no matter what to, at the very least, tie everything up for the story arch as well as for the audience. It's very unsatisfying to have a shows season end on a cliff hanger to just cancel it & us viewers not have a clue what might've been.

The premise is fairly simple: numerous people from different countries board a ship to America in 1899 each with a history and story. When the ship is about half way to America, they receive a distress call from a ship that has been missing for four months and then embark on a mission to find said ship. Once they do, crazy and unreal stuff starts happening and people start questioning their reality. I have to say I really liked this show. It does remind me of such shows like Lost, Dark, and even a bit of Twilight Zone. I don't wanna give anything away, but you won't get many answers until the last few episodes, but leading up to that it's very entertaining and keeps ya guessing along the way. Not an annoying guessing like Lost. Yes, there are subtitles sometimes because there are many languages spoken.... English, German, Dutch, French, etc. But that doesn't bother me at all. Great story telling. Great acting. The one exception, and reason for missing a few stars, is the ending. Unlike other reviews, I am actually okay with the ending. But I wanted more. What happens next when we have all the answers? The question of what is happening is answered, but the why it's happening is not very clear. It needs more explanation and because it just ends, the ending feels flat. I don't think the ending ruins the entire show, but it definitely leaves you wanting more. The first 7 episodes are a solid 10, last episode maybe a six. Still worth a watch because it's great story telling. One of the best on Netflix as of late. Give it a try just don't expect an exploding ending.
