An Amazing Sci-Fi Series: BODIES

 Whoa, don't know HOW this amazing series flew under my radar, but the NETFLIX series BODIES grabbed my interest from the set-up alone, and kept me guessing and on my toes throughout its entire run!

Stephen Graham as the mysterious Mannix

A mysterious dead body appears in the same alleyway across FOUR different timelines, and it's up to four different detectives from each respective era to figure out who the person is ...and the greater underlying mystery beneath!

Amaka Okafor as DS Shahara Hasan (present day)

Jacob Fortune-Lloyd as DS Karl 'Charles Whiteman' Weissman (1941)

Kyle Soller as DI Alfred Hillinghead (1890)

Shira Haas as DC Iris Maplewood (2053)

Everyone excels in their roles, but for me, the show's scene stealer has to be actress Shira Hass in the role of futuristic law enforcer...simply stunning from her first introduction and most compelling character-wise as well!

True, the fact that her "arc" is in the future gives the writers more to work with, it's the human side of her that's most interesting: the support of a "big brother" system to ensure peaceful existence, or the unruly nature of free will. 

Wish they dedicated even MORE time for her, though there IS some buzz about a second season happening, Not sure I want that as the story ends so satisfyingly, but I would love a deeper look into the characters themselves!
