Sheesh, "Don't Make Love Between Men Into A Weird Grim Obsessive Thing Every Single Bloody Time Challenge 2023".
Looking at you, #Bodies ...
Aaaannnnddd the woman main character, when shoved into a storeroom by a bad guy, just yells HELP and then sits there all night waiting for a man to come and let her out. Seriously?
"Now the bad guy who wants to destroy London with a huge bomb says that I need to go to a certain place and talk to a certain person. I'd better do that!" #Bodies
The aging prosthetics aren't amazing, either. Old Amaka Okafor is just as hot (okay, that's arguably realistic) and Old Stephen Graham looks like he's wearing an oldness-mask.
I am, however, interested that it's episode 6.5 of eight, and they've apparently already broken the time-loop! So that could be fun, we'll see...
They seem to be waffling a bit in the direction of "the people involved *remember* having been around the loop before", which is an interesting take. But they aren't all-in on it. Yet?
Oh, they were just playing with us in an ordinary sort of way back at 6.5, weren't they? #bodies
GOOD LORD THIS IS SLOW-MOVING!
I kind of see what they're doing, but I'm not convinced it wouldn't have been better as say a 90-120 minute movie... #bodies
I do eagerly await the explanation of how traveling through time gives you a distinctive wrist tattoo... #bodies
I'm also afraid that we aren't going to find out why the good guy got split into 3+ parts, but the bad guy didn't. (Or didn't so far?) #bodies
(I do feel like someone from 1890 and someone from 2053 might have a bit more of a language / accent problem than this.)
(I was afraid for a second there that they were going to break the loop by giving the bad guy Erectile Dysfunction...)
Hm, well, okay, that did have an ending! Not awful, but...
Made from a comic book -- I mean graphic novel -- does rather check out.
"Oooh, the bad guy's said that I'm going to be instrumental in a huge bomb going off today! And he's left me a key! I think I'll go and find out what it opens, and open it! What could go wrong??" #Bodies
