As we've come to learn in recent years, Netflix viewers will watch pretty much anything. Does that mean that everything trending on the streamer is bad, though? Of course not. Often, something truly deserving of the kind of global attention Netflix can garner ascends to the heights of the most-watched charts, such as when "Arrival" hit the platform and we all took the opportunity to revisit Denis Villeneuve's sleek 2016 sci-fi effort.
While Netflix's top 10 charts were basically invented to distract from the streamer's dodgy viewing metrics, they can at least help us sift through the swamp of "content" in which we find ourselves submerged in 2023. Whatever's on the charts is usually a quick way to avoid doom scrolling the homepage in search of something to watch, and this week, one British time travel murder mystery is offering us a path out of the darkness and into binge-watch-induced euphoria.

Warning: contains spoilers for the Bodies finale.
Bodies is a story that does not lack for ambition. Told over eight hour-long episodes set in four different time periods, and featuring a huge cast of characters and a complex, politics and philosophy-themed time-travel plot, it’s a major endeavour.
Adapting it for television was as much a gamble for Netflix as it was for Vertigo Comics when, in 2014, the DC imprint published Si Spencer’s eight-part graphic novel. Would it even work on screen? Was its multiple-thread story too complicated? Would audiences be willing to invest their time unravelling its many mysteries? Would it, in short, be a hit?
That’s the question showrunner Paul Tomalin says determined what happens in Bodies’ final moments. Tomalin told Cosmopolitan.com that while it was important that the series brought its characters to an end because not to solve their various mysteries would be a disservice to the audience,...

Warning: major spoilers for the Bodies finale.
“I hope they feel like they’re coming down from a trip or out of a trance,” said Bodies showrunner Paul Tomalin when asked what he hoped viewers would take away after watching his adaptation of Si Spencer’s graphic novel of the same name. Job done. Eight-episode mystery Bodies tells an extremely ambitious story, and deserves to be filed alongside 1899, The Oa and Sense8 in Netflix’s trip/trance sci-fi category.
Fans of that category will know that it’s a perilous place to be when it comes to recommissioning. All of the shows above were cut short after failing to break through to a wide-enough audience – perhaps as a result of their complicated philosophical and sci-fi ideas, or perhaps for not managing to prove quite as much fun as their high concept ideas promised.

In 2014 and 2015, Vertigo published Si Spencer’s eight-issue graphic novel Bodies, a mind-bending mystery about four police officers from different historical eras who discover the same corpse in the same London location, decades apart. Featuring detectives from the present day, the 1940s, the 1890s and 2053, it’s a complex conspiracy thriller about a very dark future. Originally illustrated by four artists – Dean Ormston, Phil Winslade, Meghan Hetrick and Tula Lotay – each era had its own distinct feel and look.
Spencer, who had also written on other Vertigo titles including Judge Dredd and Books of Magick: Life During Wartime, sadly passed away in February 2021, meaning he wasn’t able to see Paul Tomalin’s eight-part Netflix series adapted from his work. It’s out now, with a sprawling cast of characters including Boiling Point and This Is England’s Stephen Graham, several established actors and a handful of newcomers. Here’s more about them.

Netflix's Bodies has everything: a naked man who died under mysterious circumstances, a shadowy organization pulling the strings behind the scenes, queer romance, and references to the myriad societal and cultural problems plaguing London. Based on the graphic novel by Si Spencer, the limited series covers a lot of ground as four detectives investigate the sudden appearance of a body on Longharvest Lane in East London. But Bodies is hardly a regular police procedural. While each detective lives in a different time period — 1890, 1941, 2023, and 2053 — they all stumble upon the same body, prompting questions about their connection to one another and the larger conspiracy at play.

Bodies is a 2023 British crime thriller limited series created for Netflix by Paul Tomalin. It is based on the DC Vertigo comic book and graphic novel of the same name written by Si Spencer and illustrated by Dean Ormston, Tula Lotay, Meghan Hetrick, and Phil Winslade. It stars Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Shira Haas, Amaka Okafor, and Kyle Soller.
Three bodies found under similar circumstances in different time periods will lead us to a future where the same sequence is repeated, but the body is not dead. Similar time periods that share arguments and a connected case to be solved over time.
A mysterious organization is behind it, controlling time.
A repeated phrase.
This new (and highly entertaining) English thriller from Netflix starts with this spectacular plot, which will undoubtedly please fans of the genre. It has it all and knows how to take advantage of and combine science fiction with a detective narrative like Sherlock Holmes.

‘Bodies’ (2023) Review: Netflix’s Four-layered Science-fiction Murder Mystery Is An Absolute Triumph
Let me just cut right to the chase here. Imagine an unimaginably great thing happening to you once in your life, and then it’s over. You still cherish the memory, but you know for a fact that it won’t ever happen again. Of course, you wish you could forget it all and experience it once again, which is also impossible. Now put Dark, the now iconic German series from Netflix, on that podium. If you are a fan of that show like I am, then do believe me when I tell you—it has happened again. Behold, we have a successor to that show! It happens to be the latest science-fiction murder mystery series from Netflix, titled Bodies, which is conceived by Paul Tomlin, and the origin happens to be a graphic novel of the same name, written by the late Si Spencer. This one is in English,...

Over eight plot-packed hours, Netflix’s time-spanning police drama Bodies never quite falls on its face — high praise for a genre whose convolutions reliably start off entertaining and end up infuriating.
I can’t say Bodies always makes total sense, but it achieves a healthy balance between amusingly ridiculous and just-plain-ridiculous, with its audaciously high-concept narrative consistently elevated by a top-notch cast and strong production values across several time periods. Like Sky Max’s The Lazarus Project, which TNT dropped into domestic obscurity earlier this year, it’s a decently considered dose of mid-intensity time-travel thrills, a satisfying gift for science-fiction fans.
The series begins in the present day with Shahara Hasan (Amaka Okafor), a London detective sergeant, engaging in a foot pursuit in the middle of a far-right rally and stumbling upon a body on Longharvest Lane.
In 1941, a detective (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd’s Whiteman) in bomb-rattled London gets a...

Netflix has unveiled the official full-length trailer for the upcoming series ‘Bodies,’ based on the mind-bending graphic novel by Si Spencer.
Four detectives. Four timelines. One body. When a body – the same body – is found on Longharvest Lane in London’s East End in 1890, 1941, 2023 and 2053, one detective from each period must investigate. As connections are drawn across the decades, the detectives soon discover their investigations are linked, and an enigmatic political leader – Elias Mannix (Stephen Graham) – becomes increasingly central. Did he have a part to play in the murder? Or is something far more sinister at play? To solve the mystery, our four detectives must somehow collaborate and uncover a conspiracy spanning over 150 years.
The episode series is directed by Marco Kreuzpaintner (lead), with further episodes by Haolu Wang with a cast that includes Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Shira Haas, Amaka Okafor, Kyle Soller and Stephen Graham.
Also in trailers – “The past has me in a headlock…...

Mike Flanagan’s latest (and last) horror series for the streamer, The Fall of the House of Usher, provides the frights — and yet another riff on the Sacklers — while Omar Sy turns up the tension in a new installment of Lupin. Elsewhere, the sci-fi crime series Bodies, based on the graphic novel by Si Spencer and starring Stephen Graham, traverses multiple time periods to solve a murder.

Crime dramas can sit on a pretty broad spectrum: some are campy, cosy and even comfortingly formulaic, whereas others make you need to sleep with the light on. The one guarantee is that in the UK at least, there’s such an appetite for detectives and crime stories that TV will never run out of new cases to solve.
We’ve already had some top examples in 2023, from the Happy Valley and Endeavour finales to the excellent Belfast-based Blue Lights, but there are plenty more fresh crime dramas on the way, from police procedurals to true crime and murder mysteries. See what’s coming up below.

Yup, it’s that time of year again.
When I completed this list I realized that it contains exactly zero Marvel titles and zero DC “main line” titles. This was not intentional, as I’m enjoying several from both publishers: Magneto, Loki: Agent Of Asgard, Batman, and Constantine to name a few—in fact, I’m sure everyone is sick of my spouting the praises of Snyder and Capullo’s Batman run—but this year, the comics that caught my attention were less of the superhero and more of the bizarre, the outcast, the deadly, the horrifying. Basically, if it made me go Wtf?, it made the list. And there is a lot of glorious WTFness going on in comics right now.

I read a lot of comics. Sometimes I get a bit behind, though. For this reason, every week I make two stacks of issues: the “Read immediately!” pile and the “Eventually…” pile. Vertigo’s Bodies is always and inevitably on the “immediately” pile. Mostly because it’s a damn fine book, but partially because if I were to get behind on this one, I’m not sure I’d fully comprehend the magnitude of what I missed. 24 pages at a time, in this case, is perfection.
Bodies is a masterful work in storytelling architecture. Si Spencer (The Vinyl Underground) has managed to craft a perfectly symmetrical tale of London in four time periods with four different detectives, six pages each per issue, involving the murder investigation of the same naked and tortured corpse.
