I didn't warm to this immediately. The characters didn't interest me much at first and some of the dialogue seemed quite anachronistic and out of place. I wish writers would trust the audience a bit more with period-correct lingo and attitudes. But I stuck with it and around episode 3 it started to click and by 4 I was hooked. In the end I binged all 8 episodes in one evening, not something I do much of.
It reminds me a lot of Dark (2017) which is a good thing. Unlike Dark, Bodies is a lot easier to follow and puts lots of effort into explaining the story. This takes away the mind-bending mystery and confusion that ultimately makes Dark so good and, well, so dark, but Bodies has its own unique charms too. It seems to be leading to its conclusion by the end of episode 6 but then keeps going with more really interesting twists which bring the story to a satisfying conclusion. Well worth staying the course. The actors do a great job with so many good performances that really carry the story and add multiple depths to each character.
