Started watching the German supernatural series, 1899, over on Netflix. From the same creators who did DARK, another series that dealt with time travel.
The cruise ship Prometheus had disappeared without a trace four months previously. One of three German ships was purchased by a British firm, refitted in a shipyard, and returned to service between England and the US. With over 1,600 passengers and a mixed German & British crew, a sister ship is almost halfway through its westbound journey when it receives a teletype message from the lost ship.
When the Prometheus is located it appears to be without power and abandoned, except for one boy who was locked in a cabinet. Almost immediately mysterious things begin to happen, including visions and issues with navigational aids. Things grow worse as tensions with both crew and passengers lead to violence.
The backstories of several characters are told in flashbacks, which seem to be dreams. We also learn that mysterious letters had been sent to several passengers and crew urging them to take the cruise.
Some violence, but not too graphic, as well as some sex scenes which do not really show much. This was made for German television so their standards may be different.
If you don't like reading subtitles, I hope you are multilingual as at least six different languages are spoken, with English only being spoken for a few passengers.
