This series actually has everything to become the next big hit on Netflix: a murder mystery, an epic story and all of that with a time travel plot. Bodies comes from Great Britain and starts this week on the streaming service. We give an overview of everything that awaits you.
Brilliant sci-fi concept: What is Bodies about?
Bodies might sound like a Tatort episode at first, but then comes the time travel twist and suddenly the series seems like one Mixture of Dark, Cloud Atlas and Looper.
Become into bodies four investigators from different time periods faced with a murder case. In each of the four eras, the body of the same man appears in the exact same spot on Longharvest Lane in the London Borough of Whitechapel
Bodies takes place in the following years:
Each inspector is on his own and must first find out who or what is behind the mysterious ritual murder. But to find answers, they must find a way to communicate with each other across time distance.
