Bodies

[profiterole_reads]

Netflix's Bodies was fascinating. Four detectives find the same body in Whitechapel in 1890, 1941, 2023 and 2053.

This is an excellent time travel story, where you discover little by little what has happened and it makes sense (though I also enjoy nonsensical timey-wimey shows).

The four protagonists are a queer man, a Jewish man, a hijabi Black woman and a disabled woman who can walk thanks to a spinal prosthesis.

I've just started watching this, and I agree: the premise alone is very intriguing

[profiterole_reads]

I hope you'll enjoy it. :-)

Thanks for the rec! I'll watch it when I have time!

[profiterole_reads]

You too need time travel. <3

I watched the first 2 episodes earlier this week and liked it so far.
Wait ... the 19th century guy is queer?

[profiterole_reads]

Yes, haven't you seen him interact with the journalist yet? He pinged on the journalist's gaydar right from the start.

It's pretty obvious in the 3rd episode ... 😁😁😁

Ohhh I’ve been eying this already and that’s a really favorable review, I might have to get on that soon, then.

[profiterole_reads]

Enjoy! :-)

I've added it to my list and think it's going to be my next show after I finish Dark.

[profiterole_reads]

It's perfect as a follow-up to Dark.

The series sounds promising! I'll put it on my to-watch-list :)

[profiterole_reads]

I hope you'll enjoy it. <3

This sounds fascinating. Murder mystery AND time travel(?). Finding a body once is usually enough, but that body's evidently special. I'll have to check this out sometime.

Yes, it's a really interesting show. :-)
