1899Netflix is another slow-burn mystery from the creators of Dark, and like that series, it is likely well worth your patience. peachfuzzcritic reviews:
Jantje Friese and Baran bo Odar have earned patience. The German creators of the cult mystery-thrillervery little made sense, as Friese and bo Odar kept a growing audience largely, well, in the dark. With their new Netflix show,, the creators follow the same path, crafting a world shrouded in mystery, and often, confusion.
With a massive ensemble of European actors, the mystery series follows a ship heading towards America. When encountering another vessel that had been missing for several months, the captain, Eyk , decides to investigate, setting off a sea of events which make little to no sense at first glance. Pietschmann, aalumnus, commands the majority of scenes alongside Emily Beecham, the latter of whom plays an English passenger who is central to the story Friese and bo Odar attempt to tell.
As the episodes go by , more questions continue to pop up, with answers coming sparingly. The German team isn’t rushing towards a conclusion. They take their time, giving several of their characters extended dream sequences, injecting new plot lines without a second thought. Still, most of the show’s runtime concerns itself with Eyk and Emily, two characters who have experienced intense loss. And that’s what Friese and bo Odar seem focused on: the impact of loss and grief on a person.
The series thrives when it centers on this examination of loss mixed with a dash of memory. Weaving together a perplexing narrative and a density of themes creates a singular experience, one that audiences know Friese and bo Odar can achieve. For now, though, everyone must wait patiently, and that anticipation and added expectation causes difficulty within the first few episodes of. There aren’t any revelations about life, yet. There aren’t nearly enough answers, yet.
With magnificent production design, multiple languages, solid performances, and an incredibly twisting story,has the makings of a show that will be beloved by few but unseen by many. Like their previous show, the creators end each episode with a mini recap of each of their main characters, as a classic rock song blares in the background. It actually gives the viewer a sense of normalcy amongst a deluge of confusion. It represents a steadiness that can feel intangible.
