If there’s one thing you can guarantee, it’s that Stephen Graham is consistently in some of the best film and TV.
Whether it be that he simply is so good that he elevates the projects around him, or that he has a far-seeing oracle for an agent – he just doesn’t seem to miss.
Across different years, different genres, and different mediums – Graham has been in some absolute bangers, from This is England to Boiling Point to Time.
Combine that with Netflix, and you surely have a winner.

That is the case for viewers who have found a new drama with the Scouse actor – and they can’t stop watching.
It follows a set of murders that take place over more than 100 years, with one catch.
Every time, it’s the same body - and four detectives, from 1890, 1941, 2023, and 2053 scramble to uncover the mystery behind how it has happened.
My head’s f**king spinning and that’s just the synopsis.
Check out the trailer here and prepare to be immediately hooked.
The show is called Bodies, and it features a brilliant cast surrounding Graham, a killer concept - as well as great visuals.
In a thread on the subreddit r/NetflixBestOf asking for recommendations for the best ‘bingeable’ shows that are ‘mind-bending’, multiple commenters suggested Bodies.
A piece about the show on TheMarySue.com said it was their 'new obsession', adding: “Please do yourself a favour and tune in, especially if you’re feeling burned out on other TV offerings these days.
“I need more people to talk to about what I saw unravel on screen. I promise it’s like nothing you’ve watched before.”
While one review of the show on IMDb said that ‘each episode gets better and better’.
“The entire cast was fantastic, they really pull you into the story. Every episode just continues to add pieces of the puzzle in such intriguing and entertaining ways." they wrote.
“I couldn't stop watching, I binged all 8 episodes in less than two days.
“After just finishing it, I'm thinking of watching it again because now that I know the ending I think it would be fun seeing all the stuff I missed.”
With an 81 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and these raving reviews, there’s only thing to ask.
