Only a couple of episodes in but the story looks decent so far but it could honestly just be Wednesday being a cow to everyone and I’d still watch, only small gripe is that Gwendoline Christie’s character seems a bit too like Umbridge from Harry Potter, posh, eccentric and an arsehole who claims to have good intentions but almost certainly doesn’t. Loving this so far. Christina Ricci as Daphne from Scooby Doo is a welcome/weird feature. Edited November 28, 2022 by Shandon Par 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 1899 is very odd. It’s a bit like an Agatha Christie - in that there are class struggles and murders on board a boat - but it’s all very supernatural and dark. Very much enjoying it, especially as I have no idea where it’s heading. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and the Mrs put the first two on tonight and it is very weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched episode 7 and thought ok confused but made more sense the final episode, but there then discovered there is another episode to go! I suspect I will be more confused tomorrow than now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger29 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Alice in Borderland is back in a few weeks after a two year break.I don't have much hope of a return to the excitement of the first half of season 1 but, given the craziness of the show, surely there will be some good moments to come.Make or break season for the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Started watching 1899 and although I don’t have a fucking clue what’s going on, I’m enjoying it, there’s enough weirdness to keep me intrigued!!!The whole set up is very reminiscent of the early (good) seasons of Lost, except it’s set in Victorian times and it’s on a ship instead of an island with some nefarious but never seen mastermind behind the scenes using and moving people like chess pieces on a board!!!Fully expecting to see a smoke monster!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Finished Wednesday. Absolutely loved it. Don’t think I’d have watched it going by the description but my daughter had it on one day and I was soon hooked. It does the cynical Netflix thing of making a greatest hits compendium of what worked in other Netflix shows. Take what’s great about Stranger things and Cobra Kai and add a dash of Scooby Doo and the result is joyous. Left in two minds about whether they should have another series as it’s hard to see how it could be as perfect as that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepsi used to run adverts and you could “get stuff” by collecting points. They offered up a harrier jump jet for 7 million coins and some dude took them to court because he found a loophole to get the jet. Enjoyable but the usual Netflix hour long doc split into 4 hours 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venti Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 3 episodes into Wednesday. Really like it. It's like Harry Potter-meets-Stranger Things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely with the viewing figures and the ending they’ll do a 2nd series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Just finished 1899 and I’ve got to say it’s one of the best things he watched this year, not a fucking clue what was happening until the major mind f**k at very end of the last episode, which explains how a Season 2 is possible!!!Hope Netflix renew this as it looked expensive as f**k to make and they do seem to have second thoughts about expensive shows no matter what the viewing figures are!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I've watched 4 episodes, maybe 5 of 1899 and right now I have to say I thik it's nearing "bag of shite" territory. I probably will end up liking it but it's a bit of a struggle just now. The music at the end of each episode is fucking great though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’ve been working loads and hadn’t read any news about it. Hadn’t realised how big it was. Saw some salty/snooty reviews about it saying how it cripples shows with original ideas but that’s unfair as it’s so far removed from the original Addams stuff. It’s just a smart, modern look at friendship and self-worth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I have started Snabba Cash on a recommendation. Only 1 episode in but looks like my kind of jam so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Venom Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 +1 for 1899 here, and ++1 for the soundtrack. I absolutely loved Dark so I was going into it heavily biased/erect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ravy, the lead lady and her sort of boyfriend are all excellent. The local police seem very lax too. They don’t seem to bother too much about machine gun battles on the street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 With 1899. I didn't enjoy it. I kinda knew what was coming and I think the missus hating it distracted me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
