If you like SYFY, and Time Travel, BODIES is good. Very good actually. Part of what I like is it all resolves in the end. 8 episodes. It's mysterious. But the facts fill in nicely over the episodes. The same body is found naked and dead in a London alley in 4 different time frames: 1891, 1941, 2023, and 2053. In each case a detective of the period tries to figure out who dunnit. You get nice glimpses of London life in each period. Even the future. The acting is very good. And the story has a moral base to it.
Most of all, know you are loved.

I've watched the first four or five. That may be enough for me. We'll see. Switched to The Fall of The House of Usher which has started promisingly. An Australian outback murder mystery documentary on Netflix that I saw recently called Last Stop Larrimah is, I think well worth recommending.

I was crushed when "Mindhunter" was cancelled after season 2. It is about the early days of what became the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit. The two actors in the foreground portrayed notorious serial killers Ed Kemper and David Berkowitz. The program was well written, intriguing, well directed, acted, and enthralling.

I gave this a 2 stars rating as I barely tolerated episode 1. I just couldn't waste another minute of my life watching it any longer. Silliness with poor acting. I don't understand people giving this a 5 star they should really watch more things as there are far superior series out. |

The Fall of The House of Usher is not really to my liking after all. Another plug for 'Last Stop Larrimah' but apparently it's on HBO/Max over there.

You both need to find somewhere to see the original, best version, produced and directed by the great legendary Roger Corman.

My favourite of Corman's Poe films is The Pit and the Pendulum. Great, somewhat scary, campy horror fun. Vincent Price is always a treat. My personal fave of his is 'Theatre of Blood'.
