I really recommend watching 1899.

It finishes the story before ending in a cliffhanger. And, honestly a second season would probably not be good at all, because there isn't much to add up to it.

I can imagine if Dark had been cancelled after one season folks would have said the same as you did here. Yet seasons 2-3 were unexpectedly additive to the whole story.

Dark could have ended after 1 or 2 seasons (and S3 kind of tied itself in knots), but would require rewriting the make the ending work.

Yea i quite liked it. Though i'm quite sour on Netflix for the cancellation. Debating not bothering subscribing to them for any shows with incomplete stories.

I think of 1899 like the show Dark (also made by the same people i believe). Did i like Dark S1? Yes. Is it almost exponentially better when all the seasons are watched? Definitely. Gives me pains wondering what 1899 could have been when viewed through the Dark lens.
