Review of 1899

1899 (2022)
7/10
This show ends up NOTHING like what you expect it to be when you first start watching it!
25 November 2022
I don't want to give away any spoilers (is really hard to talk about this in any detail without giving anything away, so sorry for the lack of details!), but this show goes crazy with the twists and turns, and goes through multiple genre changes as the story progresses! This can be a pro or a con, depending on each person's genre preferences, but for me it was good (it featured all of my fave genres!). The main genre for this show is suspense, so expect that with every question that gets answered, you'll have more questions pop up in its place! I found a few moments in the show to drag a bit longer than I would have liked in the search for answers, but overall it it kept things moving and want boring!

With all of the genre changes and twists and turns, my head felt a bit overwhelmed by the end (though I binge watched the series in 1 day, so maybe don't do that if you don't want a headache!). I think my favourite part was the ending, as you realise that every single answer you got didn't actually prepare you at all for what's going to happen in the next season! It's ALL a big mystery, and the writers have virtually limitless potential as to where they can take the story!
