Having finally finished my slow burn of this series all I can do is agree with other comments here. This series offers a sense of tranquillity when watching that I have rarely seen anywhere else. You just get absorbed into sometimes dreamlike atmosphere of it all. Each episode is somewhat self-contained and you really never know how it will end. Some end on a happy note, some on a sorrowful one, some are more ambiguous or bitersweet.
The message throughout is very much that Mushi are not malevolent or evil, they are just like forces of nature, and can be harmful or helpful to humans. Each story is more about how people deal with these things, with Ginko travelling around and helping where he can.
With a second season just around the corner all I can really do is repeat other people's recommendations - if you haven't already, watch this series.
Interesting premise. Of course Netflix had to stuff it with nonsense to drag this onto an 8 episode snoozefest. This could have been a great 90 minute movie, if they trimmed all the rubbish off.
The first five episodes have a lot of padding. We get a good idea of the premise during the pilot. Then they beat around the bush until the fifth episode. After the 5th episode, the "science-fiction" part comes into play and things pick up speed. It's brilliant from that point onwards.
couldn't get into it. it's a web series that feels amateurish at best.
Well acted, great unique concept. A very tense series that concludes in a fantastic, thriller over 163 years. All in a very unique style of story telling. :thumbsup_tone1: Well worth a watch. People CAN BE persuaded to change their minds. It just takes great detective work and collaboration over 163 years! I won't spoil the ending but really take time to watch. Enjoy. :grin:
A huge plothole is that how does the loop even begin? Elias had to come from somewhere. How can he be his own ancestor? Other than that it's an unique and quite amazing take on time travel genre
The ambience of this show is pure bliss!
Just you can avoid the last 2 minutes, there are nothing according to the showrunner. Only there in case of Netflix gets Greedy
It’s a door left open, according to Bodies showrunner Paul Tomalin, simply there to give the story somewhere to go in a potential second series. Should Netflix decide to renew Bodies, then that mini-cliffhanger would be the first step on that journey. in short – they’d finished the story but wanted to justify a potential return if Netflix commissioned one, so it was tacked onI have my review on the main shows page.
