To the negative, as I said, I just couldn’t quite tease out all the meaning in the various storylines. I know generally what happened and the storyline is reasonably satisfying but there are so many loose ends in my head that I think it would take a couple more readings to properly sort out. The text isn’t terribly dense it’s just that there are so many threads and there is little visual difference between some characters to properly tell them apart. Adding to that the rapid switches between timelines make it difficult to know not only who is acting but also when they are in time and where they are. It is certainly a bit of a puzzle. Bodies on Netflix is based on the mind-bending graphic novel by Si Spencer, with the same name. The comic was released in 2015, and Si Spencer teamed up with four different illustrators, each of which gave each time frame its unique feel. As well as his work as an author, Si was also a scriptwriter, and during his career worked on shows such as Grange Hill, EastEnders and The Bill. It has a great and intriguing concept, solid writing, beautiful artist collaboration (four different artists drawing each their separate story from different time periods in London: 1890, 1940, 2014-15 and some weird future), each artist doing great job. But most of all this story has heart. Si Spencer is a comic book writer and TV dramatist, who created an eight issue series graphic novel of the same name in June 2014.Edmond was my favorite with his bizarre secrets and even if the events in his time period were just as twisted as the others, it seemed somehow less flummoxing. Karl just comes across as an asshat who dresses the best. Shahara worked as a different, strong woman who didn't take crap from her co-workers but retained a sense of humor. I detested the annoying Maplewood - she and the other characters in 2050 irked me. Bodies': What to Know About the Genre-Defying Crime Series". Netflix Tudum . Retrieved 11 October 2023. Ambitious, tense, explosive: this genre-blurring whodunnit travels time to visit four detectives investigating the same murder – in different eras. It’s exceptionally good value.” - The Guardian

The use of "HH" is a marker throughout is confusing, though Sam's double helix theory is probably right. Until I read his review I literally had no idea what was going on. Sebestyen, Roland (24 February 2021). "Tributes as 'big-hearted' Sheffield comic book and Eastenders script writer Si Spencer dies". Yorkshire Live . Retrieved 14 October 2023. Si Spencer (1961 – 16 February 2021) [1] [2] was a British comic book writer and TV dramatist and editor whose work appeared in British comics such as Crisis. He often collaborated with Dean Ormston and later moved to the American comics industry. The story is quite convoluted, but there is a clear maturity to it. It jumps between points in time that have no real connection, so you are effectively reading four wildly different stories featuring original characters in believable settings, each drawn in its own style. Bottom line is that the story is good, but you have to be a fan of this particular niche of supernatural. I'm sure it can be argued that the flow of the story could have been handled differently to make it more accessible for the ordinary reader. I say give it a try, you never know if it's going to be your cup of tea.The title is not descriptive. Well, there ARE four bodies, but this is about ideas, not bodies. Murdered bodies, okay, but it's what gets these bodies murdered that the book is about. If it's REALLY about bodies in some metaphysical sense, then it is too esoterically configured here.

Bodies’ for New Thriller Series Netflix to Adapt Graphic Novel ’Bodies’ for New Thriller Series

In October 2010, Vertigo published the first issue of a Hellblazer mini series, Hellblazer: City of Demons. I feel like even giving this 2 stars is kind of generous. The description of this graphic novel is super intriguing - four murders that take place across four time periods being solved by four detectives that are all somehow connected. Unfortunately the murders/connection between these instances were just really confusing. I read on and finished Bodies not because I wanted to solve the mystery but because I just wanted the confusion to end. (It didn't). Satanic Farces" (with co-author Gordon Rennie and art by Dean Ormston, in Judge Dredd Megazine (vol. 3) #4–7, 1995) So what I ended up doing was going through the plethora of internet interviews he’d done about Bodies, so I got to kind of know him better just through research about the stuff he’d said and the seeds he’s left just through references.’ Hellblazer: City of Demons (with Sean Murphy, five-issue limited series, Vertigo, December 2010 – February 2011, tpb, May 2011, ISBN 1-4012-3153-5)Shahara was able to play this record to young Elias just in time to stop him from detonating the bomb as he realised that he would only be killing hundreds of thousands of people for nothing. This effectively closed the time loop as Elias never killed all those people and, therefore never returned to the past to become his own great-great-grandfather, so therefore he never existed. This graphic novel is a multi-threaded time travel murder mystery of sorts. It has many mythological aspects and delves into the ideas of secret societies, ancient texts and even manages to rope in bog bodies. The narrative is exceptionally complex and at times, honestly, is beyond total comprehension. I was able to unravel the overarching concept of the book but many of the details simply escaped me completely. Speaking to Cosmopolitan, series creator Paul Tomalin explained the curveball at the end of the show."The characters were brought to an end," said Paul. "But that being said, if it's a ridiculous hit and people are storming Netflix [for more], we left that ellipsis just in case, with a very exciting idea that does justice to the set-up and develops it further." England and Englishness are central to Bodies - it's essentially a story of identity and culture. I don't think I'm giving too much away when I say that this not really a murder mystery at all, and the corpse, reappearing in the same location to different people at different times - people whose speech and thoughts carry occasional echoes of one another - has a symbolic significance to England. Bodies is available on Netflix now. For all the latest Netflix news, drops, quizzes and memes like The Holy Church of Netflix on Facebook. Related stories recommended by this writer:
