Review of 1899

1899 (2022)
6/10
Mystery for the sake of mystery is pointless

Warning: Spoilers
I just finished the show and am left disappointed.

The show has a pretty strong start, but quickly devolves into an annoying 'mystery-trap', where anything can happen and no rules or logic apply.

If you start asking why something happens or what's the purpose of this, you won't get any answer. Because I don't even think the show creators know it or even bother to flesh it out. In the end, nothing is real, so anything can happen and anything can 'work', right?

So ultimately, you feel less and less invested because nothing makes sense. It could've been a great show if it would've stayed in a mysterious but logic universe. Imagine The Matrix didn't have any rules, then you get 1899.

And the big reveal at the end just adds the icing on this. Everything you've seen was pretty much pointless.
