i really liked the main actress and the german captain guy for 1899, the two of them having a lot of charisma helped a lot. The actress playing Maura seemed super familiar, looking it up she played The Widow in Into the Badlands which was a great show and character

I'll always stan for hot redheads, Hollywood is trying to erase them

I did not bother going through the effort but that clears up why she was familiar. She was fucking hot in the Badlands....

would have been better if they climbed up and down secret shafts over and over for a few more episodes. also love the drawn out conversations between 2 people that speak different languages and don't understand each other. really moves the plot forward

visuals and settings were nice, first 3 episodes were solid. i could do without the gay hand jobs and the fuck-ton of filler.

I really have zero motivation to watch last two episodes

The boy is the younger version of the guy that climbs aboard the boat, right?

That was the misdirect. You're supposed to think that before the "reveal"
triple fakeout wrapped in a double secret misdirect, S2 you will come to find out not only he IS the younger version of that guy, that guy is actually the brother, not the husband.

So, I'm not sure why I'm asking this because I loved Dark so much I have to give this a chance - Is this worth watching just with the one season?

Its only 8 episodes and has an ending that could be left open or a wrap up.

I consider Dark to be one of the best science fiction shows ever created. I would say that you will miss nothing by not watching this. It was an attempt at something mysterious but kind of just fell flat. It might have been interesting but the show lacked the link that allows a person to relate. Dark had that relation because it took place in our timeline, even if it went back in time. This show starts in 1899 on a ship. That setting works in a period piece but without anyway to relate, it just feels off. The acting was par unlike Dark where the acting was very well done.

In short, the show is not Dark in pretty much every way.

It getting cancelled stirs no feelings in me.

Now if they want to try and continue the story of Dark with a different time line and even a different setting that would revolve back to the original in a web of entanglement.........ok.

Apparently it was recently revealed that Netflix is looking at series completion rates instead of just hours watched as a metric for renewal. For 1899, it only has like a 30% completion rate apparently or in that range.

I believe that. It really did not grab as well as it should have. I could see people watching the first couple episodes and just boring out.

Well they should be looking at total number completed not percentage completed.

I didn't know what it all was because it was so bonkers and all over the place. The only hint of a simulation I really picked up was in episode 1 or 2 when they're all in the dining hall and everyone picks up their drinks and drinks at the exact same time. That's a pretty usual occurrence in games with multiple NPC's with the same animation patterns when they all sync up with the same server tick and go through the animations at the exact same time.
