I have a feeling this will be amazing, it definitely looks amazing and with Dark as a benchmark, i'm so in.
Jantje Friese and Baran bo Odar are crazy sci-fi writers. Like move the fuck out of the way Lost, these guys can actually finish a batshit insane story.

Watched the two first seasons of Dark, and decided to make the pleasure last by revisiting them before tackling the third, and last chapter. Masterpiece! I could not be more excited for this!

It's more time travel, isn't it?

Nah, it’s the premise of the entire show.

It’s fantastic. The English dubs are pretty mediocre bordering on bad, but the story is so good you forget about it after a couple episodes. Some peeps complain about the last season, but I absolutely loved it, and I personally believe the ending was one of the best time travel show endings I have ever seen…it was just perfect to me.

Yep!!! 100% agree. So well brought together at the end too.

Could be! Definitely rocking out the Bermuda Triangle, but I wonder what the big mystery with end up being…

Thanks guys, watching Dark now. 2 episodes in. I thought I would hate the german accent as I hate belgian movies (which sounds a lot like german). But I'm already over it. I'm pretty captivated.

One episode in.
I love how unafraid these writers are of testing the limits of their audience's comprehension. Dark slowly built up to that, but this seems crazy from the get-go.

First impressions of the Prometheus is that it's spent the last four months underwater and has somehow been raised.

i didn't get the hype for dark. tried too hard to be edgy and confusing. i'll see if this is any good.

Crap show to be honest. Too slow and trying too hard with this multiple languages thing. Al the characters are unlikeable.

I loved Dark with all my heart. 1899 is just good.
And, this girl is claiming 1899 basically stole all her ideas from her comics released in 2016 called Black Silence. She even explains how that could have happened in her twits.

I had so much confidence the writers weren't going to do the tropey "everyone fades away because they can't exist" shit.
Love the show, but what a way to fuck the ending.

She is a brazilian artist, and I know her for years now
And this is embarassing. She is reaching so much.
"It has piramids, and my work also has piramids!"
Lot of people are reading her comics now, so good for her, I guess.

Well it goes way deeper than that.

It was entertaining for sure. Not quite as good as DARK S1, but overall well-made. About halfway through the session, you can already guess what's going on.
That it's a bit like the Matrix with characters stuck inside a looping simulation, that should rid them of their traumas and lead them to rational decisions. I believe that the ending is just another simulation, basically Level 2 and one step closer to reality.

With that they could name second season: 2099
Many unanswered questions but overall i liked it, dark was (even with that ending) much better.

Hype is the enjoyment killer. I watched Squid Game before it took off and really liked it. Had I watched it a month later knowing all the hubbub around it, I would've pushed back.
Dark somehow pulled off being a logical story that described an intricate, complex clockwork universe while also conveying immersive, real human emotions and reactions to what should've been unrelatable situations. It was better written than, say, 99% of media I've seen, and that's incorporating my opinion on what I thought was a final season that was a step down from the priors

Just finished episode 5…what a mind fuck. Without spoilers, if you were bored the first half of the season, just push through, things go super nuts in episode 5. As a reminder, the first 3 or 4 episodes of Dark were slow as hell too.

4 episodes in. I'll be astonished if there's a satisfying payoff to all these mysteries piling up. I'm expecting something bullshit like a simulation.

Don’t believe his lies. I think it gets even more boring as it goes along.
Can I just say as well - this bullshit of people going into monologues in a language to people that do not understand that language. And everyone is standing and listening intently as if they’re understanding. Made no sense.

Does this have the same drawn out bullshit speeches like dark? Everytime someone asked 'who are you' or 'whats going on?' it would be answered with bullshit like 'theres and ending and a beginning...'
Made me rage.

So from this thread you can pretty much gather: If you liked Dark, you'll like 1899. If you hated Dark, you will most likely hate this too.
I liked em both. I do agree that there was a lot of times where someone was speaking English to a group of 10 people where only 1 other person actually understood English. It was a bit goofy, but they do at least have half the group say "WTF ARE THEY SAYING" a lot.
Guess we gotta wait a full year+ to find out if it's even more like 13 Sentinels or not.

I liked Dark but I abandoned 1899 at third episode. Impossible to believe the characters and setting for me. All time I feel they are in a mental hospital (as it's shown at the beginning of the show) and all you see is a representation of their illness or whatever. I simply can't believe what it's happening. Well, and it's pretty boring, that's the main problem of course.
I know more people that, like me, liked Dark and they ditched 1899 after a couple of episodes. I don't think it will have the same praise and success as Dark.

Kind of random but if anyone here likes shows like Lost and this, there's a season of a show on Epix called From and it's absolutely awesome. There's very few shows I would highly recommend, but i'm 4 episodes in to this show and so far From is one of them. I would rank it not as good as Lost (nothing is) but I am enjoying it almost as much. More than 1899. It also stars Harold Perrineau (Michael from Lost) so thought that was kind of cool.

Does From provide answers? I can see that it’s on a streaming service that I have cancelled (I have till December to watch the shows).

I was expecting a cozy ghost ship/bermuda triangle story. What I got instead was stupid and nonsensical. The last time I felt so offended watching a TV show was GoT season 8.
