I can't believe I spent a whole day watching 8 episodes of this junk.
So disappointing.

Very enjoyable indeed. Binged the lot and it was a blast.

You need to like mystery, sci-fi, subtitles (heavily used as there are migrants going to America) and having said that you need to be engaged continually to keep up.

There were a couple things that griped me, but it's more personal. I'm getting quite frustrated by the lead actor (not only in this show but others too), that has a husky voice and on top of that she is a quiet talker and whispers 90% of the time making it very hard to hear her especially the way these shows are mixed, always seems to have higher than normal background noise or music. It isn't all the women actors. Just damn annoying.

Then there are the predictables. But all in all the season engaged me, the actors held my attention.
The beetle... interesting. My overall rating for this season would be 8.5/10

**[1899] - Season One: _8/10_** *(Great)*

While “1899” differs greatly from the show Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese had previously developed, it is nevertheless excellent science fiction. The show has stunning visuals, an atmospheric score, and a baffling mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It’s impossible to look away from an episode because of your immersion in its reality. The acting is decent, especially from Emily Beecham and Andreas Pietschmann. Fans of “Dark” or those who love a Sci-Fi mystery will definitely like this. Without giving too much away, I’d say it’s an amalgamation of some of the finest science fiction from the 21st century, yet it all comes together nicely. I can see how the first season’s ending would disappoint some, but anybody who has followed this pair for any length knows they are keeping their biggest surprise for the very end. All the pieces are in place for an epic season two; everyone who worked on this show deserves a big round of applause. I can’t wait for what season two brings!

Great looking visuals, fantastic score and background sounds. Lots of eye and ear candy for home theatre systems. If you like shows about existentialism this show is da bomb! [spoiler] I kept hearing Tom Cruise from Vanilla Sky shouting "Tech Support" in my mind every time I heard or read "wake up" lol. [/spoiler]

I loved how the underlying mystery was teased out, with little breadcrumbs strewn throughout the series. Great characters, relationships, backstories and storytelling. Very reminiscent of Lost with lots of nods and tropes to/from other sci fi classics. I wasn't sure what kind of show this was going to be, but was pleasantly surprised to find out how deep this story runs.

Short and to the point
I can't believe I spent a whole day watching 8 episodes of this junk.
Netflix is getting so disappointing.

Can't wait for this,I love this type of show,creepy and mysterious.

so disappointing, whole Matrix II level with big words sentences with no meaning just science on your face and fancy terms that make no sense just to make you feel dumb and that this is a great show sci-fi. But it all collapses through the awful ending. MY GOD why did they do that so un-creative and copy paste "Life On Mars" ending. You know why ? Because they didn't know how to explain all the things, so the only nice way out of there and take that viewer was that explanation.

8 hours gone out of the window.
If i read another blog "1899 totaly blows the mind of its viewers netflix has done it again" i will cancel my Internet connection.

This show is very good, some of the acting is a little wooden, but it's light years ahead of La Brea on every front.

Lots of mystery, (think Lost), setting is great,. writing is solid.

I think I'm still suffering from shock at how back La Brea is.

Why all the bad reviews?I enjoyed every episode,one of the best shows Netflix has done in a while.

What. Waste of time and Internet data

no light on the TV .... the scenario is So badly ... I don't recommend

not worth the hype! dont know if I will watch season 2

I love how multicultural this is and that they all speak their own languages.

Another Netflix fail. More woke, more stretched out stories, more pointless subplots. Can’t believe that White Rabbit is connected to this junk. No matter how hard it tries, Netflix can’t come close to Stranger Things.

This was a great followup to Dark. I was enthralled the entire time.

I'd say this is definitely less good than Dark but I'm excited to see where this goes. I have to say though the fact that the main characters speak like 5 different languages is confusing af and basically pointless. I don't understand why they did this.

From the minds behind “Dark,” one of television’s finest shows, comes “1899.” My expectations for it are sky-high. Even if it only manages to get close to Dark in quality, it will be an impressive feat. Can’t wait!
