I love ghost ship stories. I’m totally down for this.

Watched the first episode last night, and was totally hooked. Something is weird about it though ... I swear there are some people whose lips don't match what they say. Was this originally in multiple languages, and the non-english ones dubbed to english?

Really enjoying this series, binged about 5 episodes over the weekend and plan to finish it over the rest of the week. A very interesting storyline and a nice mystery unfolding so far. Looks like another win for the creators of Dark.

Finished this last night and really enjoyed it. I would be very interested in seeing where a second season went and IMDB has the cast listed as 2022- so I am sort of hoping they give this a season two. Not to spoil anything but it can wrap up and end after the last episode and it would move in a completely different direction if a second season was on offer. I really like the characters so I would for sure be on board. It's currently the number one show on Netflix so there is a decent chance they go for season two.

Well that was an interesting ending. I'm not sure I really understood it. I mean, I got what happened, but I'm still not sure why.

I'm liking this show... trying to figure out wth is going on after 5 episodes. I am not a fan of supernatural shit just happening to happen (like the bug opening doors or the boy teleporting to the cabinet). That said, I have fallen asleep - briefly - during every single episode lol. I find a lot of the middle portion of each show to be kinda boring and then we get a nice surprise at the end. Love the 70's rock songs to wrap up each episode too.

There is a reasonable and good explanation for things like the bug. It's a show with an interesting twist and a good story arc for sure.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the show and the ending, but the more I think about it, I don't know if I would say it's an interesting twist. It's kind of insulting, really.

I'll watch it after I'm done with "The English". Reminds me a bit of one of my slightly obscure favorites:

Full disclosure, I still haven't finished this (thru 6 episodes and yes, I fell asleep, briefly, during ep 6 last night) but I do plan to wrap this up by end of the weekend. My wife noticed that if you take 1899 and add the 1+8, you get 9... so 999, upside down is 666. Not sure if that actually means anything or if she's reaching. But I thought it was interesting.

Wrapped up. I dug the ending. I think jpcamb's interpretation is pretty solid. We know that Maura's brother is also "awake" so if there is a season 2, I hope we learn about his motivation... and if I were to guess, Maura's family is indeed dead and her simulation allows her to at least be with them; but in a really shitty way.

Meh. I just finished this and it was alright but I would have preferred a little more Ghost Ship and a little less Shutter Island.
Even though I didn’t know exactly how the story would play out, I was able to guess the gist of it pretty quickly. It felt like the writers were trying to be a little too clever with the ending but it came off like an 8th grade creative writing assignment -
“You see, it starts out as a turn of the century ship and then we find out it’s a space ship! They’re both ships!!”

Cranked through this over the past few days, and really loved it (but then I was a huge Dark fanboy).
I look forward to another season, if there is one, though if this was the entire run I would be okay with it.
There's also a solid 50 minute 'making of' on Netflix, and some of the visual effects material was kind of eye-opening. Worth a watch AFTER you watch the series because it is spoiler-heavy.

Bummer. Figured this team proved with Dark they know how to finish a story and would be allowed to. Shame on me.

Wasn't this the top show on Netflix for a couple weeks and in the top 10 for a few after? Seems like that should be good enough to warrant a continuation, but it's Netflix, so not really surprised. I'm only on episode 3 and not that in to it so I'll probably just remove it from my list now.
