In the Netflix series Bodies, based on Si Spencer's graphic novel of the same name, we get four murder mysteries for the price of one, because they all have something to do with each other. We puzzle along with the detectives, each played by excellent actors. That makes Bodies an ideal series to binge-watch because you only want to turn it off when you know exactly how the story fits together.
