Netflix’s Latest Drama ‘Bodies’ Is a Must-Watch – Here’s Your Complete Guide

«Netflix’s Latest Addition, ‘Bodies,’ is a Must-Add to Your Watchlist!

This new series, brought to life by the creative mind of Paul Tomalin, takes you on a captivating journey through four distinct time periods — 1890, 1941, 2023, and 2053. As each detective discovers what appears to be an identical body on Longharvest Lane in East London, they become entangled in an enigmatic mystery that defies the boundaries of time.»

This series is an adaptation of the renowned DC comic and graphic novel ‘Bodies’ authored by Si Spencer. Featuring a diverse and highly skilled ensemble cast, it draws inspiration from hits like Doctor Who and The Umbrella Academy. However, in my view, it offers a more nuanced and intensely captivating viewing experience.

I don’t want to give away too much, because the beauty of this show is watching the mystery unravel. For now, I’ll just say sci-fi fans better clear their schedules for 19th October when the series drops. Oh, and let’s meet the main cast while we’re at it…

Jacob Fortune-Lloyd as DS Whiteman

Whiteman is a dashing officer living a double life in 1941. He spends his days investigating criminal cases for the London Met, but it’s pretty obvious from the get-go that Whiteman is also involved in something else on the side. But what that is, you’ll have to watch to find out!

Maplewood has given up a lot to become who she is today, and that tenacity bodes well for her when she’s drawn into the case of a body found on Longharvest Lane. Where you know Shira from: Unorthodox, Shtisel, The Conductor

Stephen Graham as Elias Mannix

Not much is known about Elias at the beginning, so I’ll keep this short and sweet. He appears as a sort of autocratic leader in DC Maplewood’s timeline, but you just know he’s not everything he purports to be! Where you know Stephen from:
This Is England, Boiling Point, Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical Other supporting characters appear in the different timelines, such as Henry Ashe (George Parker) who aids DI Hillinghead in his investigation,
Esther Jankovsky (Chloe Raphael) who joins DS Whiteman on his journey towards to the truth, and DCI Jack Barber (Michael Jibson) DS Hasan’s boss.
