To those who think they got spoiled

The "spoiler" you know I am talking about is not from the last chapter. It is revealed as soon as in the end of the second chapter. So the series is still worth It. Frick speedwatchers.

        2099 is also a simulation. The real world is stuck in 1999 and it's all connected to the y2k fear. The most popular film about the simalutions the matrix was also released in 99.

              Her facial features are unmistakenly Han Chinese. The characteristic shape of the cheeks and the (slightly) protruding cheekbones are common in Chinese people and very uncommon in Yamato Japanese. There was of course some intermingling between their people in their shared history, but it's nonetheless generally pretty easy to tell them apart.
              Generally, I prefer the Japanese phenotype, but Ling Yi's actress is a particularly pretty example of a Chinese girl.

                So, let me get this straight: Because the ethnically Han Chinese people that settled in Hong Kong have developed a different culture than the Han Chinese people around them, that means that their phenotype completely changed and they have completely different facial features? Is that the point you're trying to make?
                You are aware that a few centuries of culture doesn't affect genetics like that, right?

      Yeah, this is when everyone suspected it was some sort of simulation, but I find it hard anyone guessed that they were in a spaceship at the turn of the 22nd century.

      The trailer showed that this show features some kind of black magic and supernatural powers, so why should the thought
      >Everyone drank at the same time, they must be in some kind of mind control by the black magic
      or
      >The supernatural power caused it
      be omitted and the thought
      >Dude, it's all just a simulation
      should be obvious? There is nothing in that scene that hints to a stimulation in any way.

        Combined with all of the prologue scene being a poem of how the human brain is capable of containing entire worlds larger than reality, it all being some sort of illusion is a much more intuitive conclusion than some black magic.

          The spaceship part isn't really that important, especially considering that it's very likely that that itself is also just another layer of the simulation.
          That there was a simulation is what some people see as a big twist. But like you said, they didn't even try to hide it.

        it's so fricking stupid that people equate synchronicity with simulation. why would weird (even borderline impossible) coincidences imply simulation? why would a simulation not be able to have everyone just behave normally? this is beyond moronic.

          i m a native german speaker and it is one of the best shows, if not the best, that has ever came out of germany. its german to the core. deals with lots of german trauma.

          1899 is just a mess. all those different languages and storylines that never get resolved. the story got stretched and stretched. lots of crawling around too. overall a shitshow. they got a huge budget and made a big mess out of it. very, very disappointing. wont recommend.

                I didn't find it convoluted at all. Compared to Dark, this story is much more linear and arguably much easier to follow without even having to pay much attention. (Paying attention to details still pays off though.)
                >strong female lead that does not need no man
                But she DOES need a man. It's literally a man who comes in to save the day and help her "escape". She's also being painted as a clingy mother, whose unwillingness to let go led to all of the setting in the first place. That's the opposite of strength. That's emotional weakness.
                >opressed gays
                I don't think they're opressed in any way. Except maybe the guy who suffers from a radically religious mother, but she's a problem in herself.
                >feminist madame
                And also a pimp and a manipulator. Not a very sympathetic character.

        and then I have to look at those because I speak english, some spanish, and a little bit of german, but not fricking portugese and mandarin and polish and danish as well. So I was just reading subtitles the whole show and nothing else. the 30 seconds of well lit shots per episode looked really nice tho.

      The writting and storytelling is a lot inferior to Dark. As the other anon said, it's convoluted and the very on-the-nose "muh I'm a woman in a men's world and I'll prove them wrong" is, specially for a netflix show, an already overused trope. Character relationships are awfully rushed and a lot of lines are simply mediocre.

      >i was expecting dark 2.
      Kek. You may jest, but I unironically think that half of the people complaining about 1899 (the half that doesn't get triggered by the black guy) literally went into this expecting to get the exact same thing as Dark.

      Though I did not expect the same thing as Dark, 1899 just didn't feel like a whole, separate piece of artwork. It often seemed they tried to recreate the general eerieness of Dark, (I mean, soundtrack-wise, it felt as if I was watching a spinoff, old Jonas being the captain didn't help either), but failing at presenting compelling characters. I literally could not care for any of them after the first episode, their stories almost an absolute mess or simply uninteresting. Compare that to the Dark pilot. This is a much weaker show.

        The first episode doesn't really go into any of the characters. That comes in episodes 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7.

      With the older Jonas actor coming back, I just think it would be funny if Jonas was in a vicious reincarnation cycle of teetering existence/non-existence and his suffering extended beyond infinity.

    It wasn't terrible or anything. But it certainly was not even close to DARK. 1899 was too much a mash-up of tropes plus a very ambitious multi-language setup. I can admire the effort but it didn't work out like they had wanted. It's too much everything else instead of being something of its own. Let's hope the next season(s) can tie it all together to be something larger than this okay-ish first season.

    Just finished Dark yesterday, it's it definitely my favourite "Netflix original" show. I was genuinely sad to see Jonas, Martha, and all their descendants disintegrate from existence. In a way it almost felt like a German equivalent to 100 Years of Solitude (to the point that there's too many similarities to be just coincidence)

    How does this compare? I don’t expect it to be as good as the first season of Dark (and I already got part of it spoiled), but is the general tone there or does it feel like Dark was a fluke?

      As a Dark fan 1899 was definitely not up there. 1899 is very ambitious and the higher budget definitely makes for a much better visual experience - but they are juggling too many balls this time and didn't create compelling characters and also not a coherent whole thing. However, they still might make a great full series out of this. I just hope they planned all of this ahead but apparently the pitch was a bit more rushed this time.
      tl;dr it's an okay first season but by no means amazing or truly original

        I love Dark after S1, couldn't wait for the next season to air. 1899 is okay at best. Lazy writing. Lots of "ohhhh look at this mysterious thing, isn't it mysterious???? hmmm????" that proved to be ultimately meaningless. Feels like it was all filler to make it last 8 episodes. After the "mystery" of the characters are revealed, there's nothing interesting about them. Plus all the usual goyslop crap like the women all being girlbosses, the BBC cucking, and the homosex.

      People absolutely have soured on Dark due to the final season and how that colored the whole series. The ending recontexualized the whole story to be about antinatalism. The heroes, Jonas and his hoe, "save the world" by choosing to never exist, by ending themselves and their future, in order to, "right the wrong of their existence and what their existence causes" this is quite literally antinatalism, this is quite literally a story about a young white man and a young white woman deciding it would be better off for them not to exist. It is propaganda of the highest order, hidden behind the alluring German language and aesthetics of the superior Aryan race. So obviously many midwits take the series as being based, while lowbrow types automatically intuit that the show is bad due to it being depressing and bleak, while high row types watched to the end and only then understood how subversive it was

      No one will remember Dark a decade from now due to how grotesque its ending was, and also, 1899 will ensure that even Dark fans no longer care about the show runners, as without the allure of a German setting and a homogeneous cast, people will see how shitty their work really is. They will be writing dialogue in English, and playing with characters from all over the world, they will reveal themselves as pro-open borders globalist filth. I sympathize with those who were bamboozled by these charlatans. But at the end of the day you really ought to know better when it comes to Netflix.

            As far as I understand it, the story of that comic has nothing at all to do with the story of 1899. It just shares geometrical shapes and possibly one setting (of many, for 1899).

            The fact that all those similarities to that girl's comic come together make it not impossible that she'd draw inspiration from some popular oldschool vidya. I guess they should sue her.

    My main gripe with the entire show was the CONSTANT "talking to someone in a language they don't understand" trope.
    I love the idea of a multilingual cast having to work together, but it's fricking absurd how often they go off on a monologue with the other person just fricking staring at them with an open mouth. I enjoyed the French/English understanding parts of what the other were saying, and the Danish/German interactions for the same reasons but every other time it just felt so out of place for these characters to always be talking to others when they know they don't understand, that's not how interactions between two people who speak different languages go. They should have relied on non-verbal communication more so the interactions felt more realistic rather than pure exposition dumps all the time excused with "Oh well the other character couldn't understand them so they just kept babbling".

      They should've used more gesticulating.
      But also: they already seem to know each other from a higher layer of reality. So that might be a reason why they accepted being babbled at in languages they don't understand.
      I'm wondering if they just manipulated people's brains so they only could talk in certain languages.

        Definitely, and it wouldn't even look odd or out of place to have the actors over-do certain actions because that's exactly how it looks when you're trying to get a point across to someone who doesn't understand you.

        > it just felt so out of place for these characters to always be talking to others when they know they don't understand
        It's just a way to give voice to inner monologue. The other person isn't supposed to understand it

        >It's just a way to give voice to inner monologue.
        Yeah, that's the main reason I dislike the way they handled it. I don't like spoken/thought monologues as a method of exposition and this is just another reframed method of doing so that somehow feels cheaper.

            Yeah that aspect does seem natural, but it was happening so often that it seeped out from feeling natural and you could instead see how obvious it was that they just wanted to use it as a writing technique to explain backstories/concepts/secrets in the laziest way possible since they kept coming back and relying on it.

            This. Holy fricking shit THIS. Halfway through the series every time this happened I just had to skip forward, it was so embarrassing and moronic I couldn't bear to watch it through. How did anyone think that made sense? Screenwriters proof-read this shit, right? What the frick.

            I honestly expect that by the end they would "break" from the simulation or whatever was going on and become capable to using English like their upper-layer/real world selves did -- but no, it just kept this moronic trope till the very bitter fricking end.

            >I honestly expect that by the end they would "break" from the simulation
            I was expecting this while watching too but unless they change it for season 2 it seems like more misunderstanding going forward.
            It's a shame as well since it seems like such a "gimme" way of explaining away how each character can understand eachother whilst retaining the multilingual cast.

      This. Holy fricking shit THIS. Halfway through the series every time this happened I just had to skip forward, it was so embarrassing and moronic I couldn't bear to watch it through. How did anyone think that made sense? Screenwriters proof-read this shit, right? What the frick.

      I honestly expect that by the end they would "break" from the simulation or whatever was going on and become capable to using English like their upper-layer/real world selves did -- but no, it just kept this moronic trope till the very bitter fricking end.

          Sorry, I meant to write expected*, as in, I expected that to happen during the duration of the first season. I imagine they will all escape next season, but still: way too much time was spent developing characters that were obviously part of a façade. I couldn't give a single frick about any of the deaths or conflict, since it became clear very early on something was up with their reality anyway

            True. Although I kept wondering if the shallow backstories are just a representation of something that happened in a higher layer of reality. The writers seem to love this style of parallelisms. "We are not free in what we want" just as a different flavor this time.

              I can only HOPE that's what's going to happen, since that's the only possible way to redeem all of those exposition scenes. Something like Lucien and Jerome having actually been two combatants in some sort of apocalyptic European war (which eventually resulted in their spaceship having to flee Earth to a different planet) and that being abstracted during the layer of the simulation we saw as some foreign legion deployment in Africa, etc.
              Still though, far too much weight was placed on the period piece aspects instead of building the characters in more general ways that would've allowed for a deeper exploration once they're presented in contexts outside the simulation. Oh whatever, who fricking knows what's going to happen. It's Netflix.

                Bullshit. They say this about every single goddamn show that's inevitably produced by executives, they would never publicly state "we've restricted creative freedom in order to ensure alignment with our corporate values and financial bottom line".

                That said though, the creators already went on record saying this series was made to attack Brexit and European nationalism, so maybe you're right, it was doomed to be leftoid garbage from day 0.

      the big reveal should have been the mid-season finale. we got not enough info about the spaceship reality and how these people are connected to the backstories they have as the passengers of the boat. overall a total mess of a tv-show. season 1 and season 2 storyline could have been told in 8 episodes. instead we get very a repetitive, circular storyline. each time maura tried to get the boy to speak I cringed. how many times do I have to watch the same scene over and over again?

                opening doors. running down the hallways. trying to get "the boy" to speak. revisiting the memory area over and over again. pointless coal room scenes. there is so much that can be cut. especially the annoying boy scenes. where is the boy? lets look for the boy. show how the enter all the rooms individually. show how they enter and leave the rooms. filler after filler scenes.
                them looking and opening the envelopes. opening and closing of cupboards. all so boring and pointless. I watched the whole thing on one day and this really does not help with all these boring pointless things shown over and over again.

                Those are connecting shots. They aren't supposed to move the plot forward, they're there to provide visual continuity to a character's actions. If you'd just cut from a character finding a hatch to crawling out of a tunnel, even if you already know that hatches lead to tunnels from before, it'll be a jarring experience to just cut out the middle. Preserving the continuity means you don't get a feeling of the scene jumping around. Any competent director will use such shots, and ideally add a bit of background detail and symbolism to them like it happened here.

                Well, three is what people assume they'll do because they did three for Dark and structured it remotely like a three act play.
                There are no four act plays (at least not in mainstream literature), but maybe they'll break the mold? Thing is, all we know is that they already have the whole thing written down and won't change any of the broader strokes.

      I mean there's literally a 100% chance that everyone is going to escape the simulation on the ship like the woman did. As others have said it's likely that the "flashbacks" they were having were just reframed memories of their real experiences and once they escape the simulation we'll start seeing how their "memories" in the simulation they were experiencing correlate to things they've actually gone through in real life before they ended up on the ship.

        I was more thinking along the lines of what separates crew and passengers. My initial thought was the crew being more in control of the simulation while the passengers are being fed loops so everyone doesn't forget what it's like being human while they travel through space in search of a new planet.

        Actually, he's the only one we see acting with clear malicious intent outside of any memories.
        And even inside the memory, you can argue that it was him who betrayed his friend, not the other way around. Deserting from a war is just self-preservation, trying to keep your friend in a war because you'd rather get killed than risk being caught and labeled a deserter is pretty selfish.

            No. I'm not one of those nuts who think people should throw their lives away in a war. (Much less for the invading force they were fighting for.)
