    Probably a rare treat for those who like to get taken on a ride of escalating mysteries and end up empty handed with no explanation in the end. The pacing and writing of this first season is honestly an insult to the viewer. It’s a wild goose chase ending in a climax of incompetence.

    What starts out as an intriguing premise that takes place on an 1899 ocean liner, builds into a mystery that becomes more and more implausible to resolve. There are layers upon layers of "Is this reality? I can't tell anymore!" About halfway through the season, there's no longer any intrigue.

There are layers upon layers of "Is this reality? I can't tell anymore!" About halfway through the season, there's no longer any intrigue. It devolves into a boring, dragged-out repeat of characters moving in and out of rooms, locations, etc., trying to solve some elaborate sci-fi reality riddle with no cohesive through-line in the end.… Expand

    The good thing about this age of streaming wars is that you don't have any qualms about turning off a show 30 minutes into the first episode because it's rubbish. You will be busy with the rest of your evening, sifting through the mud of Netflix, Disney or whatever comes spewing forth to find some little nuggets of quality. 1899 is pure dregs. as another reviewer mentioned, an "insult toThe good thing about this age of streaming wars is that you don't have any qualms about turning off a show 30 minutes into the first episode because it's rubbish.

    Incredible cinematography and production. Excellent cast and acting. Dynamic captivating and engaging fever dream of a story that leaves you wondering what is going on around every turn.

    Gorgeous show with great international cast. It is slow so if you are impatient or looking for a lot of action this is not for you. However, if you don't mind a slow burn this mind-bending surrealist sci-fi mystery show is more than worthwhile - it's amazing.

    I am into this show! Like Dark, it takes you in unexpected places both visually and in your imagination.
    The international cast is great, and I appreciate the multi-language concept. This is original storytelling and state of the art filming every way. Looking forward to another season!

    Um grande show, muito bem feito Com sólidas atuações, contém o poder de te fazer segurar no sofá até ver o que é aquele mistério

    While the setting is interesting (an abandoned ship in the middle of the ocean) the show tries too hard to be "mysterious" that it breaks the immersion and likelihood. And its pretty obvious that its the kind of show that likes to leave more questions than answers and I'm frankly not up to it....

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Definitely enjoyable, would have been nice to have a bit more of a satisfying ending, far too much left hanging on a second season, but an enjoyable trip none-the-less.… Expand

    Ahead of the predictable and unsatisfying cliffhanger, the series slows to a crawl, and there’s an inescapable sense that it’s built every inch of its reveal-driven plotting around a mystery that can’t even manage to be very mysterious.

    For a show to be successful in the long run, there must be characters to care about with meaningful stories. And while 1899 succeeds in building a puzzle that’s at the same time brilliant and accessible, it fails to have us cheering for the future of its best characters. When the credits roll in the season finale, so much has been subverted that both their victories and failures have no further purpose.

    It succeeds far more often than it sinks, and with the sixth episode (“The Pyramid”) yielding some of the most powerful moments and revelations thus far, there’s little doubt that 1899 will be altogether satisfying when it finally reaches its destination.
