    🍿 BODIES (2023)
    🎬 In this Netflix adaptation of the DC Comics/Vertigo graphic novel, four detectives in four time zones are presented with four bodies. The catch is, it's the SAME body. Kyle Soller, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Amaka Okafor and Shira Haas are our investigators, and the link in the mystery all rests with Hollywood star Stephen Graham. Connor investigates if this strong concept and studded cast can make the best of this high concept!

    Just an observation on the the young Polly character. Did anyone else think she looked far too old to be the policeman and his wife's daughter. Initially I actually thought she was a sister lol.
    I've got no issues with it though, she played the roll brilliantly.

    Watched 2 "ending explained" videos on CZcams + this review. And as much as I loved this show. I'm amazed by why no one is mentioning this main plot doesn't make sense. No one asks the proper questions: (Spoilers ahead) how did crazy teenager Mannix became some perfectly balanced human being to the point he becomes a leader. (And not rot in jail for blowing up London) Why would Mannix go back from a future that was already what he wanted. How in god's name someone becomes he's own ancestor? And why he stops existing when he's not that anymore. If he already existed he already had ancestors. Why Dafoes body appears in multiple times when the same machine sends Mannix and everyone else to just one. Why is everyone acting like it all makes perfect sense?

The show wasn't bad and they did a pretty good job answering questions, i too still wonder about the mechanics behind the body but the story was entertaining enough for it to not be a huge deal especially with how the second half plays out.

    My thoughts:
    I thought aspects of this series were brilliant. I agree completely that the first few episodes were a bit of a drag to watch. I probably would have dropped the series all together if I didn't like the premise so much and wanted to find out more. The second half was mostly great though.
    A couple things I didn't like that you didn't point out:
    The entire plot and show shouldn't exist. Like, really. If you think about it, Elias is only alive because future him goes back to have a child with Polly. That child goes on to be a great grandfather of his. So if Elias didn't go back in time to have a child with Poly, Elias would literally vanish into thin air (logic setup by the series). So how was this whole chain started in the first place? It's literally impossible. 2023 Elias can't possibly exist because 2053 Elias hasn't gone into the past to start the chain of events leading to his own birth. Once you have the chain going, it's plausible I guess, but it's impossible to start the chain.
    Why didn't the 2053 crew just send Hassan back to kill Elias as a child or any other point in his life (she says to him in the 2053 timeline that she wishes she had killed him). Or, why didn't she just go back and do literally anything else with the knowledge she had? It made them sending Iris back ALL THE WAY TO 1890 feel completely pointless.
    Side note, there's no timeline in the ones we've been shown in Season 1 where Iris is a taxi driver in 2023. Unless they're hinting at a sequel in which she somehow travels back AGAIN, she should be a child in 2023 not a grown ass women driving a taxi.
    Also, she said it herself "I'm gonna die over there aren't I" (in reference to the 1890s). Unless she built a time travel machine in the 1890s, there's no way she can travel back in time to 2023 to be a taxi driver. That is unless she pops out in 2216 and then travels back to 2023 (she pops out again in 2216 because of the whole "you go backwards AND forwards when you time travel" which is how she saved the professor a couple days after the bullet-to-the-eye time travel incident. She went backwards in time to 1890 from 2053, that's 163 years difference, so she must pop out again 163 years in the future FROM 2053 which is 2216.
    Anyway, pretty cool aside from the not amazing first half and the science based plot holes I just mentioned.

      finally the comments i was looking for. I also think that the setup for the series was quite interesting (first 4-5 episodes) but the wrap up in the last 3 episodes was really annoying and wrong paced. The show did us not give a convincing answer for the motives of Mannix. "He was searching for love which he never got as a child" is a little bit to simple

  • @xzbtier

    These series are the fiction of science fiction, to say the least. Any realistic paradoxes are ignored or the storyline writers are not aware of any. They had to follow at least two phenomena: the grandfather's paradox and the butterfly effect. I was hyped at the beginning, but let down by nonsense in the end.

    @MsMadmax1 Před 6 měsíci +11

    My husband and I binged watched Bodies in it's entirety. While we really enjoyed the series (we loved the whole aspect of time travel) there were parts of it that we had issues with and certain parts of it that we took exception to. I don't know much about physics so I can't say how realistic the plot is, but it goes to prove that DeFoe's theory that everything is pre-destined is absolutely false in that we do have a choice. We always have a choice. Where I think the series messed up was in Mannix's decision to free his teenage self in 2023 of the responsibility of detonating that bomb. Mannix, the grown-up Mannix of 1890, 1943 and 2023 was a narcissist. A narcissist lacks a conscience, they lack remorse and would never apologize to anyone, let alone acknowledge to himself that he'd done anything wrong. Narcissists are never wrong, at least not in their own minds. Nothing that inspector said to him in the paddy wagon in 1890 would have bothered him at all and Mannix would have gone home to Polly and never said a word about what he'd done or why. I'm amazed that he was able to convince so many people to go along with his plot especially since it wouldn't come to fruition until so far into the distant future and they wouldn't have even been alive to witness Mannix's brave new world. Other than that, it had us on the edge of our seats. Oh, and the whole, "Know you are loved" was just plain creepy. What a vulgar abuse of the word "loved".

      Disagree with your assessment of Mannix - or at least, his narcissism. Narcissists are quite often plagued by self-doubt, and self-loathing. That those feelings are deep beneath the surface is immaterial. They guide almost everything the narcissist does, because for as large as narcissistic egos are, those egos are also paper thin. If you've ever met a narcissist you'll know what I'm talking about. The way they will, word for word, remember a long forgotten insult decades later. How they will pore obsessively over perceived past insult, and nurse grudges long after they are forgotten.
      I agree that Mannix is a narcissist, but that is precisely why the words of Hillinghead in the wagon would have so utterly shaken him. Ego injury is the singular greatest terror for the narcissist. Can you imagine how he must have felt, stepping into the wagon, thinking he was master of the universe, controller of time, and a narrative that spanned centuries. Then Hillinghead starts spouting his real identity, exposing the secrets Mannix thought only he knew - and most importantly, assuring him that it would all be in vain.
      For a narcissist to hear that they will be unloved, unwanted, unvalidated - those words would haunt them for years. To hear them from a man who's quitely explaining hard truths from your future that he should never know at all, would be utterly crippling for a narcissist.

    Bodies is about as good as anything there is in the time travel sub-genre of science-fiction. If you liked shows such as Dark or The Devil's Hour, or loved Predestination or any of the smarter time travel stories around then you'll be very happy with this surprising gem. It's tense, atmospheric, genuinely original and wholly unpredictable.
    This series is the exquisitely crafted intersection of all of them. It weaves together the lived and experiences of 4 people, scattered across time in London. Each time period is crafted, from costumes to music, with care and precision. It's both hopeful and tragic, and so compelling

      Not really dude. The main plot is nonsense to begin with, and a paradox. The whole serie is a never ending nonsense through the end, not to mention the poor work on characters which are basically mainstream but as minorities. In my opinion is just a waste of time, and barely 4/10
      Edit: it's predictable from like the second episode, where you can appreciate how there is the same person 150 years later. It may be unpredictable because instead of just shooting the guy before the bomb explodes they go through a bunch of huge nonsense to save the population and still he vanishes. Like seriously

    Les 1890; g beaucoup aimé le personnage de Polly et la maman de Manix...les décors et les costumes de cette époque sont tout simplement très très chiques❤
    La musique était quelque chose d'extraordinaire et tellement touchante que j'ai téléchargé tous les soundtracks de la série

      At least in Dark we know how Jonas from his world has Origin with Alt Martha, and how their progeny loops back to both-- whole families we get to know over the course of three seasons. Makes it more believable when the bloodline is explored well, which can't be said in case of Bodies.

This kid that was a victim of neglect and abandonment. This tells you something about today's culture, doesn't it?

    All the caracters were great and my fav was Hillinghead. Loved his story and his twist in the final!
    The final felt a little rushed if you know what I mean. Still a great ending though.
    Ep1: 9.5/10
    Ep2: 8/10
    Ep3: 8.5/10
    Ep4: 9/10
    Ep5: 10/10
    Ep6: 8.5/10
    Ep7: 8/10
    Ep8: 9/10 (Ending blew me away, like whaaat is Iris doing there and that building in the background).
    One of the best series ever made!

    The premise was interesting, 4 same bodies in 4 different times at the same place. We were thinking what's that meaning, that it was part of a grand scheme. Turn out that bodies were never important to the villain's scheme.
    And also the time travel is not consistent here. From the start we are learned that everything is predestined, we couldn't change the future. What happen in the future are because of Elias' travel to 1890 and from there he set up everything. But in the last episode the basic theory changed. Somehow you could change the future now. Please, at least use one theory about time travel in one movie/series. Not mixed it. This is the biggest weakness, I enjoy it until ep 7,but laat episode is trying so hard to have a happy ending.

    I really loved this episode, I think this 1 season few episodes show is the thing now, the show doesn't really linger on useless dialogues and each episode is crucial and missing it you lose a chunk of the story, I really don't analyze it as much, in general it was quite ambitious running 4 different times concurrently and keeping all of them interesting and well connected. It was a brilliant watch, and I would recommend this show. the 4 bodies were the main attraction.

    I think that the setup for the series was quite interesting (first 4-5 episodes) but the wrap up in the last 3 episodes was really annoying and wrong paced. The show did us not give a convincing answer for the motives of Mannix. "He was searching for love which he never got as a child" is a little bit to simple

      No don't worry, just 1890 is gay and fuck one time but we don't see anything anyway. What you should be warned about is when a woman laugh saying ''oh I said too much'' she will cuts her tongue with her teeth. And there is also a scene in a mall where a teen kills himself. If your kids aren't grown enough to watch two men kiss I don't think you should watch this show with them considering what I already told you about some scenes in the serie

    One of the worst serie ever seen. Nothing makes sense at all. The main plot is a paradox already where there is no beginning. The whole plot revolves around the impossibility of changing the past, while in the end they actually change it. Physics laws don't apply the same, so the professor came back in 4 different bodies while everyone else not. To stop the boy from exploding a bomb they could just go back and kill him but nobody thinks about that. Overall the serie is slow, characters are not developed well, it's full of nonsense and the whole plot is just dumb and non consistent. I can't imagine how anyone would enjoy this mess of a serie tbh

      As shows coming one after the other on the same streaming platform, comparisons are inevitable.
      Even though Bodies is in a sense the OG in terms of premise (purely based on the fact that the comic came first), it wasn't as long drawn or masterfully executed as Dark. The characters and storylines were rushed to fit into one season.
      I also feel that Dark being of a similar concept but one that is well-rounded becomes a cushion of sorts for all the gaping holes in Bodies. Again, I haven't read the comic so I wouldn't know how much of the time travel shenanigans it really explores. The screenwriting though lazily draws from Dark with certain costume choices, character moments etc. and makes no effort to justify them.

    Pretty much agree with your review, would only like to add that this show is so hard to get through because the most likable character in it is a murderous rat. You have the lady who is married to her job and fails at it every step of the way. There is the guy who is cheating on his wife and ignoring his child. And then the ugly on the outside and uglier on the inside ableist bootlicker.

    Yet again another Netflix show with a gay storyine that may take over the main story and become the focus just like other Netflix shows. Two men passionately kissing each other?????.....no that ruined a brilliant main story for me won't be watching anymore.....its obvious Bodies has set up the gay storyline for later episodes. Plus what I've seen so far Stephen Graham has very little screen time.
