Intro post! I'm so original! Wow!
Hello! My bio says the important stuff, but I'll make this anyway.
This Blog
Welcome to Bodies-Needs-A-Fandom, a blog where I obsess over this amazing show with not enough fans (hence the name). The goal is to build the fandom, basically.

The Show
Bodies is a TV show on Netflix with a brilliantly tragic time travel narrative and awesome characters. It follows the story of four detectives in Whitechapel, London. These are: a repressed Victorian gay guy from 1890 who has a beautifully written romance with a male reporter; a Jewish man in 1941 who is acting as a double agent and working for some mysterious organization; a single mother in 2023 who adopts every child who comes her way and is an absolute badass; and a grumpy woman in 2053 with a disability, an inferiority complex, and a complicated relationship with her brother.
All of them find the exact same body, in the exact same place, in each of their time periods. Cue a very dramatic investigation for all of them, which eventually leads to a downhill spiral where the stakes just. keep. going. up.
It's a great show, hence why I made this blog.

The Fandom
Listen, as I've said, we are a pretty small fandom. But tbh its one of the best fandoms I've ever been a part of. There is 0 drama, and loads of clever analysis posts out there, as well as some adorable pieces of art and comics! We don't have HUNDREDS of fics, but there are a fair few short ones out there and a couple longer ones as well.

Fanfiction
I love this show enough that I made my first ever fanfiction about it LOL. If you're interested, here it is:
