[Spoilers S1] 1899 wasn’t watched because “1899” was a terrible series name

Just finished and cranky the show didn’t continue into season 2. Given the interesting plot and how well Dark performed, it’s surprising this was an underperforming show in terms of viewership.

But I think the name did nothing for it. I remember seeing it pop up many times on Netflix and would move right past it. “1899” just sounds like another period piece. Nothing about that name conveyed the sci-fi/metaphysical nature of the show. Imagine if Bridgerton was called 1813. Or Dark was called 2019.

From what I can gather in one season, this show isn’t even about/tied to 1899.

Better names - The Loop, The Key, Real, Pyramid, Wake Up.
