We finished watching the much anticipated show 1899 last Friday (well, technically it was already Saturday when the last episode ended). While not really a long time to watch an eight episode show in this case if I would have had a chance I would probably have watched it already during last weekend.
The show was, and wasn't exactly what I was expecting. It was unpredictable, deep with symbolism and mystery, all the things I was looking for. But at the same time it felt a bit hollow. There wasn't the same thought provoking feeling that the Dark had.
I don't remember anymore how I felt after the first season of the Dark. Maybe it was the same. The real twists may only have started during season 2. The first season is just for setting the scene and rousing the interest. I hope it will be the same with this one.
Unfortunately now starts the long wait. The next season hasn't even been confirmed yet, so there is still a small chance this will canceled after just this one season. If that happens it would change the perception of the show completely. It still works as a one season show, just the mystery and the final revelation would be a bit less meaningful.
