Netflix's New Sci-fi Show Made the Viewers Heads Spin and Took Charts by Storm

Netflix's new show is a treat for fans of headache-inducing puzzles. If you were looking for something complicated that poses more questions to the viewer than provides answers, then Bodies is just what you need. Or at least that's what Netflix's statistics claim.

Bodies is an intriguing sci-fi show telling the story of a certain murder. It is very unique: the body of one and the same victim is found in four different eras. The solution to this mystery is to bring an end to a conspiracy that has been going on for more than 150 years. The intricate plot brings to mind Dark, the plot of which also took place in several timelines. The new series takes us to one of London's side streets in 1890, 1941, 2023 and 2053, with four investigators trying to unravel a murder case and gain access to other - past or future - times.

The title appealed to fans of challenging mysteries and quickly found its way onto Netflix's lists of most-watched series. In global list it ranks on the podium, just behind The Fall of the House of Usher and a documentary about David Beckham.

Fans of the new show are sharing their confusion through posts on X (formerly Twitter).

If you want to experience a similar sense of confusion or want to unravel the mystery of the series, it is available on Netflix. Below you will find the trailer.

A Polish teacher by education, however, teaching lost to her love for movies and series. She is not afraid of any genre: she is equally willing to watch Tokyo Drift for the hundredth time as she is to blindly go to the cinema for a niche film. Unhealthily fascinated with The Witcher and whenever she can, she makes yet another playthrough of Assassins of Kings. Reads books in bulk, claiming that she can extract some deep thought from each one. When she finally moves away from the monitor, she takes her drone for walks and takes pictures of the area.
