1899 tells the story of passengers on a steamship carrying immigrants from London to New York, getting stuck in a mysterious puzzle after they discover a second ship drifting at sea. Similar to the previous series by bo Odar and Friese, with the intricate riddle of the characters that are uniquely intertwined, the edits convinced viewers that the two shows were somehow connected. Along with the plot mime from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, one user wrote on Twitter, "Well, Dark started with a missing child, and it started with a child being found in 1899." A second person asks, "Is #darknetflix and #1899Netflix linked?" he asked, while a third person came up with the idea: What if it's all a mistake in the matrix?
