Cadáveres

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.

Hokum but I enjoyed it all except the WWII London police car sirens which weren't fitted until 1963 when they also introduced the blue flashing beacons. They just had bells but like all science fiction fans I do tend to be obsessively pedantic. I was prepared to accept all the other minor errors but those police car bells are a sound of those times which transport me back in time which the film makers missed. I suspect that those not liking science fiction will find the plot difficult to follow and the continual time shifts confusing but the production isn't made for non science fiction fans so if this isn't your style, don't bother struggling with the plot. :-)

Initially, I was 'only' a little interested because it was kind of slow to start AND I knew next to nothing about it except that a friend had recommended it. We have very similar tastes in shows, so I trusted them, obviously.

Anyway, I was hooked by about halfway through the first episode but I didn't realise HOW hooked I was until the episode ended and I went straight to the next rather than to bed like I should have.

The core conceit may not be anything new (most time-travel-hijinks movies and shows seem to stick to the same two or three ideas for some reason) but the cast, and the way the story unfolds, is just REALLY well done, especially Gabriel Howell as young Elias in the 'now' timeline. He's really only kind of an afterthought for most of the show but he absolutely comes into his own at the end, and absolutely steals the entire series in his relatively short but powerful spotlight moments. That being said, the rest of the cast are equally good, especially Amaka Okafor and Jacob Fortune-Lloyd as DS Hasan and DS Whiteman respectively.

A small part of me wants more of this, because it was so well done, but that small part is an idiot because 'more' would likely ruin it since they told a complete story. I guess I just want more of each of the cast?

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!!
