What is the plot of Bodies?
Netflix's new fictional crime series Bodies is based on the mind-bending graphic novel of the same name written by Si Spencer.
But what is the plot of the police procedural with a twist? The good news is we have everything you need to know.
The official synopsis for the series reads: ''When a body – the same body – is found on Longharvest Lane in London's East End in 1890, 1941, 2023 and 2053, one detective from each period must investigate.
''As connections are drawn across the decades, the detectives soon discover their investigations are linked, and an enigmatic political leader – Elias Mannix (Stephen Graham) – becomes increasingly central.
''Did he have a part to play in the murder? Or is something far more sinister at play?
''To solve the mystery, our four detectives must somehow collaborate and uncover a conspiracy spanning over 150 years.''
Where was Bodies filmed?

Sets were built in a number of locations including Bradford and Rotherham.
