MOVIE: Bodies (2023) Season 1 Episode 1 – 8 (Complete)

In 1941, Detective Whiteman is dealing with discrimination in the police department during World War II. This discrimination comes from Inspector Farrell, who implies that he’s a spy working for a secret organisation. He is ordered to retrieve a dead body on Long Harvest Lane and take it to a certain location.

It’s now 1890, and we meet Detective Hillinghead, a closeted gay man who finds a body in a rookery and stumbles upon a journalist taking pictures of the scene.

Back to the present day, and Hasan, a Muslim woman living at home with her father and young son, doesn’t think the Asian boy, Syed, who was found at the crime scene, committed the murder. She attends her father’s birthday party, and her senior officer calls her away to speak to Syed’s sister, Aaliyah. She convinces Aaliyah to reach out to Syed to convince him to trust her. Syed claims he had to lead Hasan to the body, as everything has already been decided and is playing out as planned. Hmmm…weird.

Syed fires the gun at armed police, who follow him to his meeting, and Hasan saves him. But he shoots himself in the head, with Hasan unable to save him. Hasan remembers seeing two coffee cups in the food court where she met him and views the security footage to see who else he met with.
