Reasons you should watch Bodies (netflix, 2023) (some spoilers)
Fucking superb concept and intrigue
Time travel murder mystery, need I say more?
“I don’t really trust any of these characters (except Sharara)” to “I would die for each and every one of them”
We got four protagonists: a repressed gay guy, a Jewish guy trying to be stoic and failing spectacularly, a Black Muslim woman being a empathic badass, and a Disabled woman dealing with a shit ton of internalized ableism
Every time period has a duo to die for: we got forbidden lovers, found family x2, and extreme chemistry between detective and murder suspect/victim
Really fresh take on time travel while still being understandable and somewhat familiar
Proving your boyfriend wrong by proving the existence of free will to save his life
Extremely complex moral issues: “bad” people are a result of their circumstances and cyclical abuse and neglect, and are not beyond change
The cycle of pain is not fixed, you can change it, you can heal yourself by stopping the hurt that shaped you into who you’ve become
Disabled people do not need to be fixed
The villain affirms queer identities back in the 1800s
Snarky orphan and snarky corrupt cop <3
There are four main characters and all of them have a significant role in changing the past and saving the world, there is no singular main character, it’s a team effort despite most of them never interacting
There is no excuse for emotional neglect, your pain doesn’t make you stronger, it just hurts, you became strong on your own, because you had to and because you decided to
