1899 Score Details “1899 is an engaging, visually stunning sci-fi mystery series that falls short of greatness by drawing out many of its mysteries for too long.” Pros Cons It’s strange to review a show like 1899 without first seeing its final two episodes. The new, richly designed Netflix sci-fi series from Dark creators Jantje Friese and Baran bo Odar is a puzzle-box mystery that takes its time pulling away the layers of its central mysteries across its first six episodes.
Across its first six episodes, 1899 follows Maura and a number of her fellow passengers as they all grapple, often fruitlessly, to deal with the tragedies and strange occurrences that start to befall the Kerberos following Eyk’s discovery of the Prometheus. For their part, both Maura and Eyk begin to suspect that not everything about the Kerberos’ latest trip is as straightforward as they originally thought.
Thankfully, that’s not the case for many of 1899’s primary players. Beecham, in particular, turns in a standout performance as the show’s ostensible lead, Maura. Opposite her, Pietschmann brings a palpable sense of pain and paranoia to his performance as Eyk, the grieving steamship captain whose instincts are stronger than either he or anyone else truly knows.
