Shows that feel like1899 (2022)

When mysterious events change the course of an immigrant ship headed for New York in 1899, a mind-bending riddle unfolds for its bewildered passengers.

If you loved 1899, the closest series we have are The Silent Sea (2021), Snowpiercer (2020) and The Man in the High Castle (2015). All three share 1899's contemplative and cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is 12 Monkeys (2015).
