Bodies

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first started Bodies. The reviews were mostly good but the only actor I recognized was Stephen Graham so I thought how good could it be? Well, it was pretty damn good as was the entire cast. It's a time travel series that reminded me of Dark but easier to follow along. It's about four different detectives, in four different time periods, all investigating the exact same murder. It may start a little slow for some but stay with it because I promise it picks up. The best thing about it is it doesn't end with some cliffhanger, it has a very satisfying ending. If you enjoy sci-fi and time travel then give this a try. You won't be disappointed.

I can't count the number of Netflix movies and series I have invested in only to be hit with what I call "The Netflix Non-Ending Ending". You know the ones - dead stops where it feel as if the writers just ran out of steam, and finally said eh, forget about it...let the audience figure it out for themselves. So frustrating! Bodies stands out to me if for no other reason than it has an actual ending. There is a lot going on so pay attention or you'll find yourself constantly rewinding to figure out what they're talking about. Time travel stories are exhausting to some degree but I found this one fun and engaging. Worth the binge!

It is a truth universally acknowledged that any plot involving time travel, especially any that attempts to deal with the so-called grandfather paradox, will necessarily be so full of holes that, if it were a fishing net, only the great whales would be endangered by it. In that regard, Bodies certainly does not disappoint, piling impossibility upon impossibility at a head spinning pace. However it is the panache and insouciance with which such concerns are dealt that determines whether a show will emerge battered to death or greatly loved. With great performances from the lead characters, particularly Jacob Fortune Lloyd as the thoroughly corrupt wartime cop whose heart is melted by a child (a charming live-action debut for Chloe Raphael), and a brilliant script that revealed only as much as necessary at each stage and kept you guessing until the very end, Bodies easily triumphs over its unavoidable absurdity.

Bodies was much better than I thought it would be. It's one of those shows where you need to watch it and not be doing other things while watching. Pay attention because the story really pays off. Each episode just got better and better. The entire cast was fantastic, they really pull you into the story. Every episode just continues to add pieces of the puzzle in such intriguing and entertaining ways. I couldn't stop watching, I binged all 8 episodes in less than two days. After just finishing it I'm thinking of watching it again because now that I know the ending I think it would be fun seeing all the stuff I missed.

People found too many loopholes, problems etc. But what I don't understand is the generations passed from 1941-2023, THEY(For spoiler alerts...no names mentioned 😉) kept feeding stories to the people through recordings and THERE WAS NO ONE SANE ENOUGH TO QUESTION IT OR IGNORE IT!! Everyone followed THEM!!

Creators should have made this as a movie or a series with less episodes maybe 6. I THINK they stretched a little bit. In every episode they will not tell what's going on and for me it was frustrating. Every character kept saying you won't understand!! (So why are you telling the other person). For example Elias asked Hasan to be in the interrogation room so that he can share something but he never shared anything. It was exasperating!!!

They kept all explanations for the last episode!!! I have watched a similar show on Netflix called Dark which is SOMEWHAT similar to this show.

I liked the cast especially young Polly and every main character is given a proper screen time. The story is little bit slow in the middle but it picks up later!! One time watch!! Pretty decent show!! Liked it!!
