18𝓰99 has climbed to the t✨op of Netflix's streaming charts – but you might not be watching it the right way.

In the new horror series, from the creators of Dark, a migrant steamship leaves London and heads west to leave the old contine💖nt and therefore features several different languages including Spanish, French, Cantonese, German, and more in addition to Eng꧋lish.

When the ship receives a mysterious distress call from another migrant ship, the Prometheus - which appears to be floating adrift on the open sea - what was supposed to be a simple 7-day journey to New York City suddenly turns into a⭕ rescue mission. What they find on board, however, ends up turning their passage to t🐼he promised land into a horrifying nightmare.

Many foreign language shows on Netflix are automatically set to "English - dubbed" in the audio settings. Be sure to cha🐲nge this to "English [Original]." That way, you can hear the characters speak in their native tongues with subtitles that pop up on the screen – rather than listening to an English dub voiced by a different actor. Trust us.

Vie🌳wers had the same issue with Squid Game and Dark, 💦two other popular foreign-language shows on the streamer. It's better to watch with English subtitles, rather than with an English over-dub.

1899 is now streaming on Netflix.
