Bodies by Si Spencer | Waterstones

Ambitious, tense, explosive: this genre-blurring whodunnit travels time to visit four detectives investigating the same murder – in different eras. It’s exceptionally good value.” - The Guardian The title is not descriptive. Well, there ARE four bodies, but this is about ideas, not bodies. Murdered bodies, okay, but it's what gets these bodies murdered that the book is about. If it's REALLY about bodies in some metaphysical sense, then it is too esoterically configured here. Spencer died just months before his 60th birthday in August, and just before the script was green-lit, with writer Paul Tomalin revealing how he wanted to stay true to Spencer’s story.

Si Spencer was a British comic book writer and TV dramatist and editor, with his work appearing in British comics such as Crisis, before he moved to the American comics industry. There's no sense trying to do a proper review as thorough and insightful as Sam Quixote's, so read that, I'd say. I learned a lot, as usual, from him. As well as a comic book writer, whose other notable work included Crisis, Spencer worked as a scriptwriter for the likes of Grange Hill, EastEnders and The Bill. The eight episode series stars Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Shira Haas, Amaka Okafor, Kyle Soller and Stephen Graham. urn:lcp:bodies0000spen:epub:6c3e4fcb-c913-442d-acb7-3915cbafe4f2 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier bodies0000spen Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s2d09q8gdg6 Invoice 1652 Isbn 9781401252755 Lccn 2015006320 Ocr tesseract 5.0.0-1-g862e Ocr_detected_lang en Ocr_detected_lang_conf 1.0000 Ocr_detected_script Japanese Ocr_detected_script_conf 0.3257 Ocr_module_version 0.0.15 Ocr_parameters -l eng Old_pallet IA-NS-1200365 Openlibrary_edition

Si Spencer - Wikipedia

This graphic novel is a multi-threaded time travel murder mystery of sorts. It has many mythological aspects and delves into the ideas of secret societies, ancient texts and even manages to rope in bog bodies. The narrative is exceptionally complex and at times, honestly, is beyond total comprehension. I was able to unravel the overarching concept of the book but many of the details simply escaped me completely. Netflix’s Bodies will likely continue in the same vein, as a very stylized project, in the hands of director Marco Kreutzpaintner who is known for 2018’s thriller Beat as well as the sci-fi romance, Soulmates, from 2020. Also directing is Doctor Who’s Haolu Wang, a Chinese writer and director whose intensely psychological and emotional works include the award-winning The Pregnant Ground from 2019. Writers for the series include Torchwood’s Paul Tomalin (who is also an executive producer for the show) along with Gangs of London’s Danusia Samal. Judge Death: "Masque of the Judge, Death" (with John McCrea, in Judge Dredd Mega-Special No. 4, 1991)

Si Spencer was a British TV dramatist and graphic novelist. His TV credits include Eastenders, The Bill and Grange Hill. Bodies was undoubtedly a slam dunk from Netflix who managed to hook viewers into this Sci-Fi crime thriller series that was slightly mind-boggling but ultimately a fantastic eight-episode limited series. In the final moments of the show, fans were delighted to see that the detectives on the case from four different times were able to successfully work together to close the time loop. The frequent jumps between the different story lines made it difficult to really get into the story, and the story to tie them all together wasn't that strong. I didn't really care for the art (although I liked some better than others). Laura is a news writer for woman&home who primarily covers entertainment and celebrity news. Laura dabbles in lifestyle, royal, beauty, and fashion news, and loves to cover anything and everything to do with television and film. She is also passionate about feminism and equality and loves writing about gender issues and feminist literature. So essentially what that means is that the detectives did in fact successfully close the time loop and stopped the bomb killing people in London, but the producers wanted to leave a slight foot in the door in case they wanted to make a second season.
