Bodies (2023)

Bodies is a tense, genre-blending crime drama and thriller that follows four detectives in four different eras of London as they each investigate the same murder in Whitechapel. You’ll move from grim, gaslit streets of the 1890s with the relentless Alfred Hillinghead, through a stylish, morally ambiguous 1940s case led by the roguish Karl Whiteman, into the sharp, contemporary procedural instincts of Sergeant Shahara Hasan in the 2020s, and finally to the unsettling, post‑apocalyptic world of 2050 through the haunted eyes of Maplewood. Watching, you’ll experience a puzzle-like narrative that stitches clues, echoes and consequences across time — the series alternates tones and visual styles to match each period, delivering gothic atmosphere, hardboiled noir, modern grit and dystopian eeriness. Expect slow-building suspense, shifting perspectives that force you to question truth and justice, and emotional payoffs as the four investigations converge. Bodies is for viewers who enjoy layered mysteries, strong period detail, moral ambiguity and a cerebral, haunting thriller that rewards close attention.
