I couldn't have expected mora from the creators of Dark. I really love it. And, as with Dark, I am already thinking on watching it again to grasps details I missed in the first run. Fantastic job

I wish this is a Cthulhu show... I enjoyed the setup in the first few episodes very much but as I got more and more answers, I didn't like where the show was going.

I enjoyed the setup in the first few episodes very much but as I got more and more answers, I didn't like where the show was going. It's like getting more and more dilute as it leaned harder into scifi mystery. And the revelation made some of the early scenes, especially some with some characters' actions and silence inexplicable... The set and costumes are excellent... The music, hit or miss with me.… Expand

Expectations were high given that Dark is my benchmark in many ways. 1899 is incredibly slow going in and I fear most will find the first 3-4 episodes a real grind and give up if they aren’t interested in dialogue heavy character building and story set up. I was prepared for this so had no problem with it. I found the character arcs intriguing and the story twisted and compelling enough to keep me onboard. The show really hits its stride after episode 4 as the pace picks up and events start taking dramatic turns. The story is convoluted enough to keep you on your toes. If you’re the person who likes to talk during a show you’ll get lost pretty easily. 1899 demands your full attention and pays off if you give it. My criticisms would be the opening titles. The edits are extremely fast which doesn’t sit right. Maybe that is the intention. The final moments of the last episode were a little predictable but the set up for a season two is good. The sound track deserves a mention as it is great with the return of Ben Frost who composed for Dark. Over all I thoroughly enjoyed this slow burn Sci-Fi but can certainly understand how the pacing and plot may put some people off.… Expand

Jantje Friese and Baran bo Odar never disappoint. Everything about this show is brilliant. The cast is stunning, not to mention the beautiful cinematography and amazing directing.

Captivating in a refreshing way that you don’t see very often. The writing was overall really interesting with intricate exposes of different cultures. there are a few scenes where they could have written a bit differently to give them more substance and weight. For instance, the episode “the ship”felt like it needed something more going on to offset the main part of the plot. Overall, a kickass series so far, Im yearning for more!… Expand

For those who haven't, keep in mind that mystery is key here, so if you're more into explanations and a more direct rhythm, I doubt you'll get along with this story.

It's a bit slow and doesn't start to pick up pace until its third episode, but if you stay tuned, the journey is very rewarding.… Expand

I really thought 1899 was going to be just some regular period drama like a titanic, finishing with the typical ending, but was something completely different!

Just remember one thing, don't let the slow start fool you. With every episode,I really thought 1899 was going to be just some regular period drama like a titanic, finishing with the typical ending, but was something completely different!

Just remember one thing, don't let the slow start fool you. With every episode, more details are added to put together the puzzle and you're left asking yourself questions and rooting for your favorite characters find out the answers as quick as possible!

They spends a lot of time exposing the backstory of the major characters. At first one thinks there is no connection, but through their "dreams" or is it their "reality", we began to see how each share a connection which brought them together on this voyage. The cinematography and direction have been on point. The music in first few episodes where amazing, so appropriate to dark atmosphere, fear and curiosity. I was mostly amazed by the diversity of the cast. The multicultural aspect led to a more authentic representation of life aboard an immigrant ship at the turn of the last century.

I hope to see a season 2 because the cast, producers and directors have really outdone yourselves.… Expand

Stunningly shot, with another great score from Ben Frost, this slow burner is worth sticking with. I only wish we had more series like this, where the writers are willing to take chances and develop stories in a non linear way.

Série incroyable, qui n'en est qu'à son commencement. Les rageux (notamment brésiliens) feraient mieux de s'intéresser à la vérité plutôt qu'au scandale, ça leur permettrait d'éviter de passer pour des guignols.
