New period drama, 1899, has been branded “the best series on Netflix, hands down.”
Showrunner Jantje Friese says: “To really distil it down, it’s an eight-part mystery that unfolds before the viewer, like a tantalising puzzle. We’re playing with ideas and expectations. And the most important thing is thattells a thoroughly international story and was also a thoroughly European show in its creation.
“It’s about immigrants on a ship bound for America. Immigrants from so many different countries, all speaking different languages – English, German, Spanish, French, Polish, Danish, Portuguese, Cantonese.”Fellow showrunner Baran Bo Odar says: “We had the idea quite a while ago. The original inspiration was a photo that we found a few years ago – it’s the photo of a man in his underwear on the deck of an old ship with a bloody hammer in his hands. This immediately sparked something in us.
“And we wanted to tell it in the way we do best, in the form of a mystery – exciting, dark, intense, action-packed, full of twists and turns.”
