A few surprises on the design side of the series could have upped its game. Still, it’s a perfect cozy deep dive for a long winter’s night.

Bodies is a riveting yet occasionally bloated series that presents some fascinating ideas. This time-bending mystery is engaging, and the leads are excellent.

It soon becomes clear, as is the way with these things, that the solution will be simultaneously incomprehensible and epically anti-climatic.

Where most mystery stories can be infinitely expanded as detectives track down leads and red herrings, each new piece of the puzzle in Bodies completely recontextualizes the whole thing.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 6, 2023

Bodies features an exceptional cast that elevates the bizarre mystery to dazzling heights.

It’s not a cryptic puzzle-box -- the narrative wants to reveal itself. Bodies is both taut and great fun, an act of imagination akin to Christopher Nolan making a fast-paced adventure serial where the heroes team up across time.

I was quite happy dipping in and out of the four set-ups, any one of which could have supported a series on its own. But then... everything became very confusing surprisingly quickly.

Despite its laborious assembly, Bodies isn't the precise clockwork mechanism it aims to be, and even less so when the clock begins to go backward. The representation of the historical periods, however, is convincing... [Full review in Spanish]

on’t think too hard about the details and just enjoy it for the twists and turns and characters and you’ll probably have a good time.

A good time travel yarn can really mess you up. Remember how dislocated and awed you felt after seeing the original Terminator? ...That same sort of brow-furrowing mind massage is at work in the deep-diving Brit series Bodies.

"Bodies" shines most for its talented cast, which is even somewhat wasted due to a script that doesn't service well its characters. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 25, 2023

While there are story elements that are revisited unnecessarily or too often, the overall puzzle is captivating, exciting, and a bit mind-melting.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 24, 2023

I’m all wrapped up in Bodies’ ambition and the intrigue of a four-for-the-price-of-one mystery.

Full Review | Oct 23, 2023

Bodies feels like the kind of science-fiction drama we used to see in days of old, with a high concept idea that goes for it, that doesn’t hold back in what it wants to achieve.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 21, 2023

Bodies is a time travelling sci-fi murder mystery starring Stephen Graham that makes audiences work hard for their entertainment. Split across 4 timelines, this adaptation of the graphic novel by Si Spencer is a rewarding watch well worth the investment.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 20, 2023

Bodies takes what could be a confusing premise and crafts four distinctive stories that will eventually be linked together.

But as the plot coagulated like the blood in poor Defoe’s eye, it developed a cohesive, cumulative pull that was pleasingly intoxicating.

There’s a chance you might break your brain trying to figure the whole thing out. But it’s intriguing enough to make the risk worth taking.

Even a talented cast led by Shira Haas and Stephen Graham can only do so much with an exposition-encumbered, cliché-clotted script that leaves Bodies lacking vital, fleshed-out characters.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 19, 2023

As the first episode came to an explosive end, I immediately started the next. And the next, and the next, and the next.
