Bodies tries to be a high-concept, genre-bending, time-travel thriller. But peel back the layers of slick editing and dramatic lighting, and what you're left with is a tangled mess of clichés, half-baked character arcs, and one of the most irritating characters ever written into a sci-fi police drama: Iris Maplewood.
🐸 Iris Maplewood: The Frog in the Room That Won't Shut Up
Let's talk about her.
Small, stiff, and disturbingly robotic - Iris Maplewood is supposed to be a tough, futuristic cop, but instead she comes off as a weird, frog-like glitch in the system. Her presence is not commanding or mysterious; it's awkward and borderline laughable. Her every line delivery feels like a bad AI read-through, her expressions are either deadpan or cartoonishly intense, and her physicality makes you wonder if she's half-reptile, half-android.
She's the kind of character who waddles into a scene, says something wooden, and then drags the entire tone of the show down by several notches. The camera loves her, but the audience doesn't - and for good reason. She has the emotional depth of a rock and the charisma of a tax form.
💘 Instant Love? More Like Instant Cringe
And then comes the cherry on top of this already absurd mess: some guy falls madly in love with her... at first sight. No connection, no chemistry, no build-up - just BAM, he's into her like she's some irresistible goddess from the future. Honestly, it's insulting.
What exactly is he falling for? The cold, mechanical voice? The bug-eyed stare? The zero personality? You'd have an easier time falling for a malfunctioning vending machine. This "romance" subplot feels like it was written by someone who lost a bet. It's neither sweet nor tragic - it's just embarrassing.
The Rest of the Cast? Equally Confused
A gay cop leaves his family in a storyline that's rushed and emotionally empty.
A Jewish officer pines after a girl half his age - creepy and unconvincing.
A Muslim detective who might have had potential if the show gave her any real attention.
And then there's Iris - front and center, soaking up screen time and draining every scene of tension.
---
Final Thoughts: Watch Literally Anything Else
Bodies is a masterclass in wasted potential. It tries so hard to be edgy and smart, but ends up being laughably absurd, full of plot holes and lifeless characters - none more irritating than the frog-faced future cop with the personality of wet cardboard.
If you're in the mood for something confusing, irritating, and unintentionally funny, go ahead. Otherwise? Save yourself eight hours of cringing and skip this mess entirely.

It's just an entertainment show nothing much , nothing real , its all faked . One can understand if anything goes wrong 1 time but in this show everything malfunction except the tv cams . Unbelievable , they are just making money out of this show .
One time watchable movie, not so good but tovino was good . Everyone performed well except Anna she doesn't match up with the character as it is a lawyer and she look like a school student. Not good at all.
