About the series
The plot of Bodies revolves around a body — the same body — found on Longharvest Lane in London's East End in 1890, 1941, 2023, and 2053. The body is naked, and it appears to have been shot in the head through the left eye. However, there is no exit wound, and no bullet. One victim. Four eras. Four detectives. To save the future, they must solve a crime that changed the course of history. Four different detectives try to solve a murder in Whitechapel across different time periods: successful 1890s sleuth Edmond Hillinghead, dashing 1940s adventurer Karl Whiteman, 2020s female detective Shahara Hasan, and Maplewood, an amnesiac from the post-apocalyptic 2053, who brings a gripping perspective to the investigation. This new English thriller from Netflix is sure to please genre fans. It combines all the advantages of science fiction with a detective storyline.
