Yes, it's from the makers of Dark. A fact that only amplifies how terribly soporific and hugely disappointing this has been.

A fact that only amplifies how terribly soporific and hugely disappointing this has been. Stretched overly thin with repetitious dialogue and over-extended scenes to attempt to cover up an utterly incomprehensible story capped with a cheap, unearned 'twist'. A waste of some fine craft in cinematography and FX. Season 2. I wouldn't be surprised but I won't waste my time on this again.… Expand

Starts off well but becomes boring really fast towards the end. They need to work a lot more on the pacing since I could easily argue for the cutting of a whole 2 episodes for lack of content.

The language barrier is interesting. The justification for it is unclear and I hope they don't keep it going forward. While I do appreciate a nod towards the local language watching an entire series, where it switches from english, spanish, french, german, mandarin, and a few more, becomes tiresome faster than you would expect.
While it's by no means a must see it's definitely entertaining enough to warrant a try. Hoping the second season is more polished.… Expand

Drama upon drama, mystery after mystery, constant setups and no pay off. This is one of those shows that's filled with half baked ideas and ends up going nowhere.

I am pretty sure the ideas of this show came by means of drawing them from a hat and then the writers had to glue it all together.

I tried to temper my expectations because I love Dark but this show misses the mark ever so slightly. It's something that's hard to put your finger on but I reckon it's just that everything is slightly off.

It's something that's hard to put your finger on but I reckon it's just that everything is slightly off. The mystery box story telling gets annoying very quickly. With Dark mysteries abound however there's always something engaging going on but not so in 1899. Also, and this is my biggest issue, no one is particularly likable. Writers are forgetting this aspect of story telling. If no one is likable then no one cares what happens to them. The female lead in particular gives the audience no reason whatsoever to sympathize with her. I'm hopeful for the second season however recommending a show based on an unaired season would be pretty silly wouldn't it. I know it's Marvel's bread and butter (you just HAVE to see the end credits scene) but it's a dumb practice that I won't partake in.… Expand
