Bodies (Netflix)

Postby C » 26 Oct 2023, 21:28

Only two episodes in (of 8) but intriguing and enthralling

Superb!

Identical murders in the same east London Street - bodies naked, in same position, replete with same tattoo

1890, 1940, 2023 and 2053

Is it the same person?

I'm engrossed and captivated

Robust stuff...?

Not 'arf!

Watching currently, interesting but why do settings in the future always look so amateurish?

There is definitely intrigue and I shall continue to watch it just to find out what is going on.

We've watched three.....a bit unsure, to be honest. And , yes, the future does seem a bit high end Blake's 7

Yes, the portrayal of the future gets worse....

We are on episode 6 (of 8) we are enjoying it but I am slightly less enthusiastic then I was at the outset.

Still enthralling but time travel can get a little tedious

Notwithstanding, some great performances - Stephen Graham is excellent and I had forgotten Greta Scacchi - the last time I saw her she was getting it on with Harrison Ford in Presumed Innocent - a good film!

It’s got a bit Doctor Who-ish in the latter stages, particularly with some of the props and indeed some of the acting but I shall finish it just to find out what happens in the end.

Finally finished, probably better than I thought it was going to be at one stage but, inevitably and frustratingly with all these time travel things, it leads to many unanswered questions.

Again, agreed Bob

We have watched 6/8 - episode 6 picked up a bit and drew together some loose threads

Yes, travelling into the future is the tricky part.

Films set in the future are much easier to portray - Blade Runner and Escape from New York [Kurt Russell, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Pleasence] and of course 2001: A Space Odyssey, come to mind

Just thinking aloud actually....

Yes - finished now and excellent.

The last two episodes, in particular, I thought, were riveting
