Bodies 2023 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Have you ever felt like crime dramas tell the same story over and over again? Well, a new show starring Stephen Graham will do just that by design.

He stars in Bodies, a new Netflix crime thriller about the same murder that occurs multiple times over 150 years, which is based on the 2015 graphic novel of the same name by Si Spencer.

Creator: Paul Tomalin
Stars: Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Shira Haas, Amaka Okafor

The brief look at the series jumps between time zones as multiple police forces and detectives fight to solve the murder of a man who continues to be murdered throughout the story. Here's your first look.

The plot of Bodies is unique, uniting four detectives spanning 150 years to solve the same murder case. Now, this is not a cold case that has been unsolved for over a century. No, it's the same person murdered multiple times.

In the 1890s, against the backdrop of Jack the Ripper London, detective Edmond Hillinghead stumbles upon a murder that no one wants to solve but which turns out to be bigger than he could have imagined. Then, in the 1940s, an adventurer named Charles Whiteman stumbles upon a similarly eerie scene amidst the remains of the Blitz in London. In the 2010s, a detective named Sahara Hasan comes across an unidentified body, and in 2050, in a post-apocalyptic world, Maplewood encounters a ritual murder and seeks to shed light on the century-long conspiracy.

Stephen Graham leads the cast, although not much is known about the character he plays, Elias Mannix, other than he is central to the plot.

As for the various detectives, Shira Haas from Netflix's Unorthodox will play future cop Maplewood, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd from The Queen's Gambit will play DS Whiteman, Amaka Okafor from The Sandman will take on the role of DS Hasan and Kyle Soller, known primarily for his theater roles, will play DI Hillinghead. It's (almost) exclusively a Netflix family affair.

The cast is also completed by Tom Mothersdale, Michael Jibson, Derek Riddel, Emily Barber and Gabriel Howell, playing a younger version of Stephen Graham.

The series is being produced by the same team as Peaky Blinders, reuniting with Graham, who played Hayden Stagg in the crime drama. The show is also written by Paul Tomalin, who wrote No Offense and Torchwood.

Heated Rivalry 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney wrote and directed the six-part series about two rising hockey stars who fall passionately in love. Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin entered the NHL in 2005. For more than 20 years, the Canadian star and his Russian counterpart have waged one of the greatest rivalries in the sport. They've won titles, medals, and scoring crowns, and both are still playing (with the same franchises that drafted them), having earned their place among hockey's all-time elite. Creator: Jacob Tierney Stars: Hudson Williams, Connor Storrie, Callan Potter That's the underlying premise at the heart of HBO Max and Crave's new six-part romantic drama, Heated Rivalry, based on the book by Rachel Reid and written and directed by Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney. Don't expect many direct similarities to Letterkenny, though. Heated Rivalry may have some comedic elements, as relationships between passionate men are often entertaining, but it's a sincere a...

Kantara A Legend: Chapter 1 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

The ending of Kantara: Chapter 1 returns us to the original film, a sequence in which young Shiva wonders what happened to the well that physically existed there many years ago, when the Naga tribe lived in harmony with nature, only to be forced to endure the invasion and destruction of the land they were supposed to protect. The film is a winding tale of three cultures, two of which seem to drive the story about class and greed similarly to the original film; however, the third element is the Kadapa tribe, a people who seek to appropriate the power of the deities for themselves rather than worship them. At its core, it's a film about unity. It's about bringing people together to merge tradition with contemporary ideology. Kantara: Chapter 1 takes us directly into the heart of the Bangra Kingdom, a prosperous state with trade and all modern amenities, but with a powerful and greedy king. Director: Rishab Shetty Writers: Rishab Shetty, Anirudh Mahesh, Shanil Guru Stars: Rishab ...
