Awesome, didn't know this was basically done. Dark for me was a TV experience like Lost/Twin Peaks, just got completely engrossed in the mystery and the world.

1899 debuts today at the TIFF noon PST. So we should be getting some advanced reviews here shortly. I'll post them up as soon as I can find them online. The series has 8 episodes, and they are showing roughly 2 hours of the show at the TIFF, so I'm assuming they are premiering the first 2 episodes. Exciting stuff. Edit: Looks like today is the world premier. Netflix just released the official poster, should be some early reviews later this evening.

Looks like this is coming out on November 17. This would have been great for Halloween, oh well.

Updated the main post with some recent press on the show. Some unofficial reviews of people who saw the first 2 episodes are very promising. This feels like it's going to be something pretty special.

13 days til the release. Lots of good press out about it. All episodes look to release on Nov. 17th. I'll get all the episode titles and character pictures up in the OP soon.

Hopefully this one doesn't require a Pepe Silvia map to keep track of all the characters and subplots... who am I kidding, it totally will.

Show looks great, kind of surprised it is getting a bulk release, it seemed like one of those shows that would get people eager to come back each week for more.

I'm only partway through the first season of Dark, but I'm very excited to get around to whatever this is going to be once I'm done with the show.

I think that’s just the way Netflix releases their shows no? I know other streaming places often staggers but I think Netflix usually does all at once

It varies, they split The Mole across a couple-few weeks for example.

It still takes pretty extraordinary circumstances to get Netflix to release anything other than all at once. Like a reality show, or being Stranger Things. Anyway I haven’t watched any of these trailers because I just know this is going to rule real hard and I want to go in as blind as I can

What I find interesting is the trailers aren't giving away pretty much anything at all. They're really keeping the concept back on this one, pretty much just indicating a tone and a location.

We should be getting some reviews out today! 6 days til release... We got our first review that I could find. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tv/2022/11/11/1899-netflix-review-odd-mix-black-mirror-titanic-goes-truly/ "1899, Netflix review: this odd mix of Black Mirror and Titanic goes to truly mind-bending places" HanabaL03 fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Nov 11, 2022 |

First episode felt a little off at first, despite the high production values, I don't know what it is but everything with all the various character introductions just felt weirdly artificial. But the back half from when they spot the ship to boarding it and finding everything all hosed up I felt got very strong. There is a moment in an early scene though I thought was wonderfully creepy, where all the 1st Class Passengers take a drink at exactly the same time, completely uncommented on or seemingly noticed by anybody else. I'm gonna take my time and watch this an episode at a time, it doesn't feel like the kind of show I want to binge.

Someone needs to ban White Rabbit. Edit: oh ship, that's Emily Beecham. She better do a loving high kick or this show is RUINED FOREVER. (No but seriously, she's a good actor who spent several years on the very silly but surprisingly well cast Into The Badlands, and she really sold her fight choreo.)

Ep 2. I've watched too much TV and now I can spot a psycho gay at twenty paces. That these flashbacks aren't just hallucinations, but seem to be physically altering the structure of the ship is very cool. I do not enjoy these bugs, no I do not. Wish they'd stop getting Jefferson Airplane on my Ben Frost.

Watched episode 1. It was okay. I like ships, so I might watch more. The captain is intriguingly brooding and mysterious. Jerusalem posted:First episode felt a little off at first, despite the high production values, I don't know what it is but everything with all the various character introductions just felt weirdly artificial. You're probably not as stupid as I am but I watched the first 15 minutes not realising I was watching the dub. Some people's lips matched their words, others didn't and I thought eh? the hell is this. It wasn't until the doctor went to save the pregnant lady I realised because the girl was clearly the only one understanding her that I realised and switched it. It was a lot easier to watch from there. I don't understand why people watch live action dubs, so I forget they are a thing. Open Source Idiom posted:Someone needs to ban White Rabbit. Yeah when this kicked in my goodwill towards the show plummeted. Not just a song from the future, but one of the most cliche songs you could pick. It would've been much better to just use some spooky original score for that sequence. When a show makes a choice like that it makes me think they aren't trying very hard, so neither should I. roomtone fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Nov 17, 2022 |

Everything is off about the setting and I guess we'll learn exactly what and how later on. Even though these are ships in the Atlantic they are completely motionless when stopped. Even a passing remark on how the wind stopped cannot explain this, before they encountered the Prometheus it was already an unnaturally steady ship. The end of episode 2 suggests there is indeed something else going on

E4 non-spoiler probably but if you told me this is a stealth prequel/sequel/whatever to Dark I would 100% believe it.

Having finished it my thoughts are mostly the same as they were after six episodes. Well-crafted but lacks the nuances which made Dark a masterpiece. gently caress marketing and change the name for S2, no “2099: An 1899 Story” bullshit either

Hope I'm not gonna regret watching this as much as I did the 2nd and 3rd seasons of Dark. First episode was intriguing but the writing felt more like an FMV game at times.

I don’t know, it worked for me. alternate universe Winden was necessary to establish the opposition. But it was definitely a slow start after the events of S2.
