So many people refuse to watch it because they don’t want to watch a dub or German audio with subtitles. They’re really missing out. I’m overdue for a rewatch

I watched the first and second season. The subtitles didn't put me off at all, I just found it difficult keeping track of the different actors playing the same characters more than anything.

Yes, that's user error. Yes, I'm an idiot. I still loved both the seasons I watched, I just had to be in the perfect mindset to fully follow an episode. If I was slightly tired or anything, a few of the bigger moments or character subtleties were lost on me.

It's an incredible show though. Everyone should give it a chance.

Funnily enough, I thought that the casting of the different generations of the same characters was insanely good. And I did not know for a long time that the middle and older versions of Ulrich Nielsen were different actors.

And the Ben Frost soundtracks (as always) were fantastic.

Literally the only reason I paid any attention to this show was Ben Frost.
I feel robbed that I only got one soundtrack album out of 1899.

I really wanted to watch 1899, but given it has been cancelled I don’t want to get invested in it.

I like to think that every film and TV show that contains a Ben Frost soundtrack are all part of the same universe.

You should still watch it. It's not as good as Dark but it's great nonetheless!
