So, Netflix canceled 1899 after one season.

Like Netflix do. I’m not gonna lie, though: I’m not entirely upset about it. I enjoyed the first one, because 1899 was a legitimately creepy and weird little alternate-perception show (that you really should watch with subtitles*). It had its reveal, the reveal was cool, the second season had an excellent chance of being a disappointment. From an artistic point of view, better to end it at a dramatic moment.

Of course, I wasn’t counting on a paycheck from the show. I suspect that the actors and production crew might have a different opinion about how things went down.

*I missed at first that there were two versions: one where everybody spoke English, and one where everybody spoke their own languages and nobody was a polyglot. I had to backtrack and rewatch the subtitled version from the start, because it completely changed the tone and flow of conversations.

One thought on “So, Netflix canceled 1899 after one season.”

  1. I enjoyed the season, kinda felt the ending was a sort of cop-opt. Wanted more of a mystery ending, vs what they did and don’t want to spoil it for others explaining further
