What Season 1 of Bodies

A corpse turns up on Longharvest Lane, a street in the London neighborhood of Whitechapel, and it does so across four different eras: 1890, 1941, 2023 and 2053. Four Metropolitan Police detectives, each in their own time, begin investigating the death separately. Inspector Hasan, in the present day, is one of them. Over time, their inquiries move closer and closer until they become intertwined, with far-reaching consequences. Hillinghead and Whiteman each have their own cases, and Maplewood is also part of the storyline. Each timeline moves at its own pace, so viewers have to piece the puzzle together on their own.
