Bodies a Netflix Original

As October comes to a close, this week sees another newNetflix number oneseries rise to the top of the stack (in the UK anyway, it’s in third place in the US charts currently). It’s aNetflixOriginal mystery-drama series calledBodies, a show which follows four detectives across four timelines (past, present and future) that intertwine around one very specific event.

However, while many Netflix Original shows have been posting rave reviews of late – I’ve highlightedLupinseason 3’s 100% scoreand theBeckhamdocumentary’s 97% scorein recent weeks –Bodieshas landed an82% critics score and 80% audience score on Rotten Tomatoesat the time of writing. That’s a solid four-out-of-five, sure, but I think this new eight-part show deserves even more.

Right from the off the show’s intro music and art style gave meWestworldvibes (in the best possible way – the less said about that show’s demise the better), and while its London-based setting is a far cry from that show’s manifested lands, the portrayal of the UK’s capital across the differing timelines is a fascinating backdrop that’s always visually superb and cinematic.
