A trailer that lives up to what we expected
It is being a rather atypical year for Netflix. The platform has seen the ears to the wolf with the losses of the users, although in the end, the reality was not as bad as its forecasts. Also this year, the platform of streaming has experimented with different series, of a higher level, as is the case of Sandman.
The turn now comes for 1899a production that comes from two Germans who already revolutionized the content platform back in 2017 with Dark. This new project promises an equally or more convoluted plot, with dozens of mysteries to solve that will leave us hooked on the screen. Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese They have also wanted to experiment with new formulas, and that is clearly seen in the trailer. 1899 It will be the first series that we see with a totally multilingual.
As we can see in the trailer, the series focuses on a passenger ship that travels from Europe to new continent in search of a better future. The passengers do not know each other and do not even speak the same language. Added to this situation, which is already stressful in itself, will be the appearance of another European passenger ship adrift on the high seas.
Confirmed the symbology of the triangle?
Boats, disappearances, a triangle… right from the first teaser of 1899the triangle it was a key element. Not only because of the logo, but he has been represented in the form of lines in many planes.
Quickly, the Internet forums were filled with speculation, being the Bermuda Triangle the most popular theory.
Looking at the trailer, we can’t guarantee anything at all. From the beginning, it seems that the events of the series occur at the beginning or in the middle of the journey. This would clash a bit with the location of the famous Bermuda Triangle, which is located on the American coast between Puerto Rico, Bermuda and Florida.
The triangles reappear at important moments in the piece, such as in the telegram or even on the elevator buttons. However, there could be another symbology. The trailer again makes a reference to everyone on the ship having things to hide—we’ve already made the comparison with lost a few months ago, because in this aspect, they have points in common—. The triangle might not be something tangible, but rather a way to represent the travelers personality at different points, as occurs in some other psychological model.
When does 1899 premiere?
We could say that there is practically nothing left for us to watch the series in our living room.
The first season of 1899 will premiere in full on Netflix next Thursday November 17.
