Phim you are here 2023 review năm 2024

If you're after a gritty British drama to binge watch on Netflix this weekend, then you need to know about Bodies. The crime and sci-fi series follows four detectives from different time periods – 1890, 1941, 2023 and 2053 – who discover the exact same body in Whitechapel, east London. Then, they begin to unravel a disturbing conspiracy spanning decades and have to try to work together to solve the murder. The series, which stars everyone's fave Stephen Graham, comes to the streaming service on 19 October. So, is Bodies worth watching? Here's what we think. What is Netflix's Bodies about?The official synopsis reads, "Based on the mind-bending graphic novel by Si Spencer, Bodies is a police procedural with a twist. When a body – the same body – is found on Longharvest Lane in London's East End in 1890, 1941, 2023 and 2053, one detective from each period must investigate. "As connections are drawn across the decades, the detectives soon discover their investigations are linked, and an enigmatic political leader – Elias Mannix (Stephen Graham) – becomes increasingly central. Did he have a part to play in the murder? Or is something far more sinister at play? "To solve the mystery, our four detectives must somehow collaborate and uncover a conspiracy spanning over 150 years." Netflix Who is the cast of Netflix's Bodies?The cast of Bodies features some fresh faces as well as actors we know and love, including:
Is Bodies worth watching?Yes, yes, yes! Bodies is seriously binge-worthy TV. It'll leave your mind blown and you screaming at the screen with all its twists and turns. Make sure to have your snacks ready as you're not going to want to take your eyes off the telly. The genre-bending series – created by Paul Tomalin – contains smart and stylish dialogue, sucking you into the mysterious story from the first episode. Each of the four time periods almost looks like it could be a show within itself, with the scenes set in the 1940s feeling very film noir, and those set in the future leaning into the expansive sci-fi vibe. A heads up, though, it's not one to just watch in the background while you're working from home. There's so many different plots and timelines to explore, that you seriously need to concentrate to truly enjoy and appreciate the show. It's super satisfying when you begin to see storylines and arcs click into place, and riveting when you see them twist into a new lane. The series is also incredibly diverse in its representation, without it feeling tokenistic. There's Shahara Hasan, who is a Black, Muslim woman and wears the hijab, Charles Whiteman, who is Jewish and faces anti-semitism within the workforce and society and Alfred Hillinghead, who is a closeted gay police officer in the 1800s. Netflix It's rare to see a TV show value inclusivity so much while not making it the only lens a character is allowed to be seen through. Such diversity and thought is still so refreshing to see. Stephen Graham is, of course, brilliant. Would you ever expect otherwise? But the acting of the entire ensemble is striking. You grow close to and root for every single character and detective. Amaka Okafor, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Kyle Soller and Shira Haas drive each of their scenes. Expect to see the newcomers more and more. As someone who isn't the biggest sci-fi fan, I also found that Bodies made the genre enjoyable, leaving out the usual, slightly cringey tropes. The scenes set in the far-off 2053 feel somewhat realistic but still compelling, rather than having flying cars and hoverboards thrown around. The thread that ties the show together is the overarching need for acceptance and love. Each of our detective protagonists have something that alienates them from everyone around them, and Bodies touches on important themes of race, Islamophobia, anti-semitism, homophobia, policing and more. So, if you're ready for a binge-watch on your sofa this weekend, then be sure to put Bodies on the top of your list. |
