1899

I was very excited for this show because I loved Dark, it's one of my favorite shows. Then, when I found out they were gonna take a Lost-style approach by introducing a new character backstory in each episode I got even MORE excited. It seemed like I was going to get a new exciting web of mystery to untangle.

Unfortunately, this show was more dedicated to having crazy twists and surprises than making sure they made any sense. It got goofy after the fourth-ish episode, and the final reveal in the season finale made everything we had watched and learned in the season completely moot. Sure, it set up what could possibly be an interesting second season, but it sacrificed all the character development of the first to do so.

That's not to say the entire show was a complete waste of time. It was beautifully made. The production, acting, and overall quality was great. It's just a shame it was wasted on such a silly and nonsensical story.
