Great Start
Just like Dark, this opener manages to pull you into the world of the show, keeps you glued to the screen, and leaves you wanting more.
The episode introduces to us a ship headed to New York in the year 1899, and it is a moving melting pot because we have English, German, Spanish, French, and possibly Japanese passengers on this ship, and every one of them has their own little stories we're slowly getting to know about. Each of these passengers seems to be running away from something to New York and each of them has secrets and more than they are letting on. There was a ship from the same company that made this main ship, that went missing four months ago named The Prometheus, and it is one of the main topics of conversation between nearly everyone on the ship, and it seems that it's gonna be more important to the plot than we think.
That was the gist of the plot in a way not to spoil anything, even though not much revealing happens in this episode to spoil. But this pilot episode manages to do well what a pilot episode must do; introduces us to the main characters, sets up the tone of the show and gives us a little bit of the plot, and leaves us interested and intrigued to see what happens next.
So we're not yet that familiar with any of the characters, just a bit with the main character Maura Franklin, and we just get a little bit from each "main" character that leaves us with more questions than answers.
I thought the episode was great and the production was top-notch. I already knew it was gonna look great since it's from the creators of Dark and that's the only reason I'm watching it.
The acting from everyone is great and the set design and costumes look impressive too. You can tell they actually made real sets and only used CGI for sea sky backgrounds which looked great too.
The music is also once again noticeably unique and sounds great, Ben Frost is doing a great job again with the new show just like he did with Dark and his music is just something else.
All in all, I thought this pilot did a good job of throwing us into this world and leaving us wanting more. The show is mysterious and suspenseful and has lots of characters with secrets, and I love these kinds of mysterious stories and ways of storytelling, especially in tv show form and especially from the creators of Dark which is one of the best shows ever.
