If you're into mysteries that mess with your head in the best way, Bodies is your next obsession. Imagine four detectives, across four wildly different timelines, all investigating the exact same dead guy. The tension is absolutely unreal as you piece together how their cases link up, making you question everything about fate and time. It's a genre-bending ride that will keep you guessing until the very last second.
In London, a single body is discovered in the same alleyway across four different time periods: 1890, 1941, 2023, and 2053. Four distinct detectives, Alfred Hillinghead, Charles Whiteman, Shahara Hasan, and Iris Maplewood, each begin investigating the baffling murder in their respective eras. As their parallel investigations unfold, they uncover a sprawling conspiracy that threatens to unravel the fabric of history itself. This mind-bending series connects their separate cases into one overarching mystery, where solving the crime isn't just about justice, but about saving Britain's future.
The story starts with a murder in Whitechapel. Four different detectives are trying to solve the murder in different time periods: 1890s overachiever Edmond Hillinghead, dashing 1940s adventurer Karl Whiteman, kickass female 2010s Detective Sergeant Shahara Hasan and Maplewood, an amnesiac from post-apocalyptic 2050, who brings a haunting perspective. Together, the four set out to uncover a conspiracy spanning 150 years.
