1899 - Blog Posts

Honestly at this point when Netflix cancels a show it’s an assurance of quality

The real reason sense8 slapped so hard and inevitably got cancelled is that it had an anime concept, an epically talented international cast and prominent queer characters whose lives didn’t get sugar coated by the writers

The thing I find actually quite disturbing about Netflix is that they know that the only people who really have the time for the binge model are just actual children. Their main market is teenagers which is why shows like Wednesday and Ginny and Georgia do so well and television made for adults and people with full formed brains keeps getting cancelled. It’s pathetic

Every conversation in 1899

Persona A: monologues about identity and the nature of reality and if anything is real and what is god and is our existence purposeful if we’re pursuing a life that is not truly our own

Person B: *nods in dutch

Cannot believe they took 1899 from us. We are an era where shows that are not instant hit are being massively cancelled instead of giving them of a chance. Dark was a hit after a while and it became for many the best show on the platform. 1899 needed the same time. It had the potential to have the Dark effect, it was in the top 10 most watched for weeks.

I don't think the show will be picked up or sold, Netflix owns it. Fuck them. Fuck this system. Spread some 1899 love.

i feel like for a show that has so many different characters that speak wildly different languages, they use way too few hand gestures to communicate. this is why they should’ve had an italian on board.

Eyk: I love her even though she's crazy!

Daniel: I love her BECAUSE she's crazy!!

Elliot (face buried in his hand): Dads, not again...

in retrospect, daniel’s entire storyline is incredibly hilarious because while all the other passengers are stuck in a loop reliving their worst memories, daniel is more or less a walking cheat code and he’s somehow having the worst time out of all of them. he hasn’t slept in 8 days and he’s wet all the time. he has a wife who doesn’t remember him and a dead son. he has to watch his wife fall in love with a handsome brooding sea captain over and over again. his only friends are a virtual version of his son who clearly prefers his mother over him and his son’s pet bug. he gets the absolute shit beat out of him by a background character. he’s done this simulation countless times before and somehow his wife is still always two steps ahead of him. the man’s really out there just barely passing an open-book exam. poor little meow meow indeed.

“That’s completely different. You’ve seen it on a map.” “A map’s a drawing. By that logic, I’ve seen drawings of werewolves. So they exist then.”
