Netflix, premiering on the platform in the middle of October. Inspired by a graphic novel by Si Spencer, the plot revolves around four detectives from different time periods who find themselves tasked with investigating the same murder. The uniqueness of the case lies in the fact that the same body appears in the same location, but in different years: 1890, 1941, 2023, and 2053. This time-travel enigma challenges these professionals separated by decades, leading to an investigation that transcends temporal boundaries.
These plot details made the production be compared to Dark, a German series that was one of the biggest successes on Netflix in recent years.

Get to know the plot details of the Netflix miniseries 'Bodies'
The Netflix Bodies miniseries takes us to an intriguing beginning in the present day, where we meet police officer Shahara Hasan, played by Amaka Okafor, who is involved in the security of a political demonstration. However, fate leads her to an event that will change her life and involve her in an enigma of epic proportions. Upon discovering the lifeless body of a naked man on Longharvest Lane, a single bullet wound to one of his eyes is the only evidence of violence, leaving her perplexed. Intrigued by the lack of conventional answers, Hasan decides to delve deeper into the investigation, uncovering an unusual scenario.
What makes this case singular is the discovery of a dark coincidence. Detectives from different time periods, such as 1890 and 1941, had already encountered the same body, under identical circumstances, on the same street. This enigma that transcends time and space begins to take shape before Hasan's eyes, as she realizes that the murder is intrinsically linked to "the past, present, and future." As the mystery deepens, a detective from 2053 also encounters the victim's corpse under conditions that seem to defy all laws of reality.
Politician Elias Mannix, played by Stephen Graham, emerges as a mysterious figure who advises Hasan, but who seems to guard deep secrets related to the crime that involves detectives from different eras. As Hasan unravels the puzzle involving the body and complex temporal connections, Elias Mannix becomes an increasingly crucial piece in this enigma.
Bodies is a miniseries full of plot twists and enigmas, challenging conventional logic and exploring the intricate interconnection between past, present, and future. The narrative offers a unique perspective on how seemingly isolated events can be irrevocably intertwined and how the search for answers can open doors to unknown dimensions of reality. As detectives from different time periods approach the resolution of this complex mystery, the production provides a captivating and surprising experience for viewers who venture into this temporal enigma.
With this plot, Bodies has been compared to the success of Dark, creating a major controversy around Netflix's new miniseries.
Bodies is an adaptation of a hugely successful graphic novel
The plot of Bodies originated from a 2015 graphic novel that shares the same title and was written by Si Spencer, a renowned British comic book writer, notable for his contributions to works such as The Creep and Harke & Burr for Judge Dredd Megazine. In addition to his work in the comics world, Si Spencer also left his mark as a screenwriter on television, having his name credited in notable series such as the iconic BBC's Eastenders and ITV's The Bill.
