Nov 26, 2022While 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....

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.
