Bodies

Fancy some dystopian sci-fi thrown in with modern police procedural TV? And how about a Victorian era penny dreadful style murder mystery thrown in for good measure?

If so, Netflix has you covered.

Bodiesis a murder mystery spanning 150 years, with four detectives trying to solve the same crime in 1890, 1941, 2023 and 2053, with an all-star cast and great production values. First released last year, this limited series picked up some high praise and fan feedback on its release, but now seems to have joined the ranks of the forgotten.

It has all the tropes you need from shows of its kind – great central performances, an intriguing plot and some decent writing. The mixing of times and staging is a nice touch, adding to the mystery and allows for some decent character development.

With only eight episodes and no plans for a second season, this makes for a good all-day binge if you fancy something a bit cerebral. It’s also a lot of fun watching Stephen Graham fully ham it up in his scenes.

Happy

Christopher Meloni is a very serious man. After watching him for what seems like 20,000 years inLaw And Order: Special Victims Unit, it is fair to say that the words “wacky” and “comedic” are probably not banded around him that often. He seems a very serious man who takes his performance with very little brevity.

So watching him inHappyis unsettling to say the least.

Meloni plays a degenerate, drunken ex-cop turned hitman who, after being injured, begins seeing his kidnapped daughter’s imaginary friend – a perky, animated, flying blue unicorn called Happy. Things get even stranger from then on.

With two seasons now available, the show absolutely deserves a watch if not just to see Meloni do something other than be angry and moody for once.

Daybreak

As of 2024 there are approximately 25 million TV shows available on streaming that cover the apocalypse (that’s our estimate, anyway). Weather-induced disasters, zombies, alien invasion and even plain old nuclear devastation are all covered off many times over, but occasionally one really stands out.

Daybreakwas a very small, very limited release from 2019 that, due to its nature and similarities to others of its type, made absolutely zero impact upon its release and was pretty much forgotten about soon after.

It follows teen protagonist “Josh” (Colin Ford) as he attempts to survive day to day against a horde of mutated zombies, gangs of roving high school kids and adults who seem more dangerous than everything else combined. Where it differs from most though is that the apocalypse is largely used as a metaphor for our high school years and pulls it off very well. It’s adult, gory, offensive and in the end, fun.

It’s not perfect but its quirks are part of its charm. The series is a refreshing take on TV and movie tropes, and pokes fun at them with a respectful wit.

Cancelled soon after its release and with seemingly no chance of a second series, it makes for a perfect one day binge. There are so many options in this genre but honestly, you could do a lot worse thanDaybreak, at least it treats the subject matter with a degree of humour… something we could all do with these days.
