I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.

, I am likely to watch it, and that’s doubly true when it comes to some sort of science fiction or horror offering. After the stellar Fall of the House of Usher, I was curious what replaced it. That would be Bodies, a show I heard compared to Netflix’s Dark, one of the service’s all-time best series, due to its focus on time travel.

Bodies is something different. If you want to compare it to Dark, it’s perhaps about 20% as clever and interesting. Passable, but not terribly engaging. Youwant to see its mysteries to the end, but I would not blame you if you stopped short either. I don’t think you’re missing much, even if yes, this does tell a conclusive story as a miniseries, rather than as season 1 of something that could be left unfinished.
