Bodies (2023) is a British crime thriller series that dares to reinvent the detective drama with a bold, time-bending twist. Based on Si Spencer’s acclaimed graphic novel, the story unfolds across four separate time periods in London—1890, 1941, 2023, and 2053—where detectives in each era stumble upon the same body lying in a Whitechapel street. This single corpse becomes the center of a sprawling mystery that spans centuries, forcing viewers to question the very nature of history, memory, and destiny.
In 1890, Inspector Alfred Hillinghead navigates the rigid morality of Victorian London while uncovering dark secrets tied to the corpse. In 1941, Detective Charles Whiteman, working during the Blitz, finds himself caught between survival and corruption as the same body appears again. Fast-forward to 2023, where Detective Shahara Hasan investigates the murder amid modern political tensions, only to realize the case stretches far beyond her time. Finally, in 2053, Detective Iris Maplewood confronts a futuristic London under authoritarian rule, where the recurring corpse may hold the key to freedom—or destruction.
The brilliance of Bodies lies in its interconnected storytelling. Each timeline reveals fragments of the mystery, and as the episodes unfold, the threads weave into a larger narrative about power, control, and humanity’s repeating cycles. The detectives, though separated by time, are united by the same enigma, their choices rippling across generations. With sharp dialogue, atmospheric visuals, and stunning period details, the series immerses viewers in four distinct Londons while keeping the tension razor-sharp.
More than a whodunit, Bodies (2023) asks profound questions about fate, identity, and the cost of truth. It is both a gripping thriller and a meditation on how history repeats itself—until someone dares to break the cycle.
