Too long. Boring. Threads that lead nowhere. Mediocre acting. Ridiculous storylines. Confusing. Stupid characters. To explain, I really liked Dark, and was looking forward to this. That being said, Dark did have too many characters and some confusing threads. The only reason I finished 1899 was because my son was raving about it. (Not listening to his advice on television anymore). The ending made me actively angry. How stupid. Just throw a bunch of bizarre happenings in a pot, stir, and you get garbage like this. Dubbed version was exceptionally bad, switched to just subtitles, couldn't save the story. I cannot understand anyone liking this.

I loved season one. Interesting if not all likable characters. Fun storyline. Excellent actors. Season 2 starts out okay, but quickly devolves. Awful characters. Confusing motivations. Nothing to sink your teeth (or interest) into. Centered more on graphic sex scenes than a storyline. Is there really a story here? Too bad. I had been looking forward to it. Not a single reason to watch season 2. The ability to have a fun show mixed with mystery and good subplots was lost in season 2. However, since these are stand alone series, I would still recommend season one if you haven't seen it. Just stop there.

It really just wasn't very good. It felt like I was watching a film of an amateur play. It had a few giggles, but it was predictable, and mostly uninteresting.

However, very hard to watch. Brilliant acting. True to life, extremely heartbreaking. Keeps you there through the entire film. Recommended if you can handle the filming of human pain and what families do to one another.

Excellent film. Completely different from what I expected. Maybe hit too close to home. I was thinking comedy. It had very funny moments, but the overall film, was real life. Family. Expectations. Disappointments. Love.

I actually watched this in two installments. Cut it in half over two days. The first day, interested, because the characters were compelling, but not so much compelling story. The second half, really started to grip me, and as it all came together, wow. Beautiful, unusual and excellent film.

One of my favorite directors? His name is on it, I'm watching it. This was slow, pointless, absolutely no tension. Meandering. Too bad. Desperately wanted to like it. However, impossible.

I knew it from the first scene. Why? Why? Did I watch even farther. The acting is out of a 50s grade D horror movie. The writing and production as well. I warned you!

The most pointless film I've seen all year. Critics must be paid. I won't blame any of the cast. It was simply horrible, pointless....very, very bad. Very, very bad.

This is a wonderful film. The acting, storyline, somewhat different, but it works. Some humor, human connection, friendship and love. If that's what you're looking for, watch it!

Not a bad start. Goes downhill. Then just dumb. Actually had some potential to start.

Virtually flawless. From story, to characters to acting. Six seasons still wasn't enough!

I did give it a 7 because of engaging characters. The story keeps you interested, but something is missing to turn this from a good film, to an excellent film.

It didn't have enough to make doing it worthwhile. I'm glad I watched it, but what was really the point? Needed many more of the regulars like Paul Rudd. Didn't need random celebrity fans. Not what fans were hoping for.

When I read the premise and initial reviews, I was anxious to see it. I looked into the director's first film Our House, streaming on Netflix. Very mediocre reviews, but I watched it. Really pretty good. Not great, but good. So high hopes for this much better reviewed film from a director who has some experience. Sadly, it was not good. Absolutely NO background on the protagonist. No one really has any character definition. Vague, silly. They certainly went all out on costuming the "evil" (sarcasm here) ....it is a sorry waste of time.

I did watch the whole things. Was getting a little less interested with each episode. My husband and I both agreed season 1 was enough.

As others have said, the acting is atrocious. Does not get better. Horrible, film in all respects, doesn't deserve a breakdown of all the nonsense. It gets a two, because for some reason I finished it when I knew I shouldn't.

Good grief. Been there, seen this, and done so much better. Waste of time and money

It starts well, midway you think it's following a standard horror movie course, but stick with it! Very well done. Terrific ending!

I have to agree that the acting is first rate. There is a story here.,.why did they not show it? Long, repetitive, no real substance. Waste. Too bad.

It was intriguing at first. Moved to Meh. After episode 4 back to...ok maybe something here. Ends with Ok. Not brilliant, not horrible, if you have nothing else to to it's ok.
