BODIES SERIES TRAILER
ARRIVING OCTOBER TO NETFLIX
In the depressively poor offer that Netflix has in store for us for the rest of the year, one of the series that we might give a try is time travelling crime series
BODIES which will stream from October 19th! The eight part thriller is a small screen adaptation of the 2015 graphic novel by Si Spencer. The story focuses on four detectives in four different London eras who find themselves investigating the same murder: 1890s overachiever Edmond Hillinghead (Kyle Soller), 1940s adventurer Karl Whiteman (Jacob Fortune Lloyd), 2010s Detective Sergeant Shahara Hasan (Amuka Okaflor) and Maplewood (Shira Haas), an amnesiac from post-apocalyptic 2050, who brings a haunting perspective. Together, the four set out to uncover a conspiracy spanning 150 years. Stephen Graham also stars.

gets too close to the truth!

she’s uncovered may reveal something rotten deep below the surface.
LONDON, 2050. As the mind-
scrambling pulsewave plagues the last
survivors of a terrifying techno-apocalypse, the amnesiac young woman
known only as Maplewood can barely

link between them all is stronger, and stranger, than anyone could
dream…
