> The ending is absolutely stupid and breaks the whole series, the plotholes just explode everywhere...
Starting from the fact that nobody in the 40s would exist anymore, not just the central guy, it would be just other people, at least in London...
Do not even start making sci-fi movies about time travel if you do not even know about the butterfly effect man, I can forbid the loop (egg or chicken) but not this.
And Netflix again with the LGTB, it seems that for a series to be approved the first Kiss HAS to be gay, and have nothing against gay people, but I'm getting tired of getting agendas and propaganda injected in me when the only thing I am trying to get is entertainment.
And stop with the cheese-happy endings already, always the same ending with the UK series...

On the time-travel movies The Bodies have it on spot, with a classic British style screenwriting way. Not so complex or open as many other movies as the incomparable german Dark series, it is intriguing enough to get you into the series, same body found on three eras with a perfect future with a high price.

Well made costume and scenarios (although very limited in some way), with some secondary things related to the three protagonist detectives lives - no CG till the end. It doesn't bring anything revolutionary to the time-travel sci fi genre but at least is well made and (relatively) well wrapped up up.

The good thing - it prolong itself to explain everything, and gets all fixed, but this was done (obviously) on the last episodes and have many flaws and holes in the plot (the decision of send someone paraplegic through the time machine was so stupid...), the best decision maybe was to be it a self-contained and closed series, with no second season as it is the rule with many of Netflix series.

The bd thing, it could take some more time on the protagonists inner dramas, it takes some detours to finish before more episodes, some decision are crazy stupid and some gaps between ages are just surreal (like in the 1891 detective, his wife and daughter looking the same age for an example). Good enough actings.

But it is worth out your time - just the last episode is a little more messy. Recommended - score of 7.1 out of 10.0 for this one / B.
