Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
For the most part, Bodies is beautifully told. Yes, there are twists and turns that will keep you gripped, but the real test of the show is the capability of its leading cast (tick) and whether it gives us some heart to ground the, let's face it, absolutely mad story (tick). All in all, Bodies is well worth the watch.

Season 1 Review:
Even though parts of the show sound silly if you describe them to people, nobody in the cast is performing like they’re in a silly show. That’s how Bodies ends up working as well as it does. Maybe it isn’t quite ambitious enough to become a story that lingers on an emotional level, but it does general justice to the wildness of its premise and generates investment for the humans caught in the middle of it.

Season 1 Review:
The web of interconnectivity just about holds; each detective is given their own story arc; malevolent characters keep things interesting; the graphic novel origins are stylistically echoed, with hues, shadows and clever camera angles. It’s just a shame that an intriguing premise (the same crime investigated in different eras) turns into such a lumbering, high-concept logjam.

Season 1 Review:
The problem with Bodies is that it is anti-fun: it takes itself as seriously as a judge in a wig. There’s nary a wink to camera nor a funny line to be had across the whole eight hours. If earnestness is a sure sign of a slow mind, as Nietzsche said, then Bodies isn’t half as smart as it thinks it is.
