Bodies. A lot can be made of them, whether they're warm, at rest, in motion, problematic in threes, or just plain snatched by pod people.We bet, though, you haven't had to wrap your head around a mystery like the one that's front and centre of Netflix's Bodies for a while... well, except maybe while bingeing Loki.

Set in four different times – 1890, 1941, 2023 and 2053 – this miniseries has four police officers across the years finding the same body in the same alley with the same wound and in the same pose.
