Review of Bodies

Bodies (2023)
6/10
Outstanding premise, which couldn't keep itself on its legs.

"Bodies" has an incredibly interesting premise. The story of four detectives who all find the same body in the same place in their respective eras sounds extremely interesting at first.

But no matter how good a premise is, if it's not used properly it doesn't do much good and that's unfortunately the case here.

There is very little logic here because the phenomenon of time travel is never really explained in detail, which is why many parts of the story simply seem illogical. Sure, time travel is rarely logical for us because time is linear for us and it doesn't make sense that you could jump back and forth in any way, but even in the little explained logic of this series universe, there are some plots that don't fit with it.

In addition, the series is simply doomed not to end well, if the story ends as expected unchanged, the whole series is nothing but wasted time, but if it ends changed, it contradicts itself in its own logic.

In addition, the series is unfortunately decorated with below-average dialogues, some of which really seem as if they were written by an artificial intelligence.

What you have to give the series credit for is that they made the effort to build different sets for different eras.

The series can definitely entertain, but only if you don't think about the events in more detail.
