haven't finished watching 1899 yet but the fascinating thing about it is that they put just about every single horror trope they could think of in there and yet none of them are executed well. for every single story element, i can name a show that Did It Better™

#so many of these things COULD be scary but they just. aren't.#and i'm not sure why that is the show isn't actually bad it's well-made and intriguing enough for me to keep watching #but it's also certainly not good #idk how to explain it #like. think of the episode where everyone is mind-controlled into killing themselves right #now compare and contrast that with the cybermen two-parter in doctor who season 2 #where the same thing happened and it still terrifies me TO THIS DAY #i get shivers just thinking about it #or like. the world behind the world thing? fairly boring in 1899 but done EXCELLENTLY in dghda #or the episode where they go over to the prometheus that should have been scary as FUCK but it wasn't??#and the creepy child isn't as creepy as he is just. idk. unlikeable?#certainly not the vibe i would go for if i put a creepy child in my story but whatever #the scenes in the mental hospital -- done a thousand times better in penny dreadful #one thing i will say is that ling yi's backstory was done perfectly and is easily one of the highlights of the show for me #anyway dghda is so much better and i keep wishing i were watching that instead #ALSO!!! why is the intro shit 🧐#like. for a show like this you need a strong punchy and SHORT intro like. you know. dghda had 😮‍💨#i am begging everyone to watch dghda i am down on my knees here BEGGING you to watch it #don't know whether i should even put this into the tag i know it's bad form to put criticism in there #when people just want to enjoy their fun little show #i think i'll just add some more tags that can be blacklisted like #1899 hate #anti 1899 #1899 negativity #1899 #*mine
