Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

maz underscore 'Bodies' is a realistic and riveting medical drama set around the gynecological and labor ward staff of a London hospital.Personally, I haven't been this taken with a British drama series in years, or any drama series for that matter. A medical drama is especially hard to do. To balance the medical procedures with the lives of the hospital staff is a very difficult thing to achieve.'Bodies' not only uses realistic medical situations and procedures to keep you watching, but also uses the personal and professional relationships between the doctors and nurses. Both of which will make you want to come back over and over again.The characters aren't black and white, they have layers and the audience finds them selves responding to them differently at different times. The acting is absolutely perfect, most notably Max Beasley and Neve McIntosh as the torrid lovers Rob and Donna, Patrick Baladi as the enigmatic Dr. Hurley and of course the wonderful Keith Allen as Mr. Whitman. The direction is flawless and the cinematography is edgy and poignant, using a hand held camera and lots of close ups.Despite the odd cringe worthy medical scene, this show really is worth watching. I'm waiting for the DVD to come out in Australia so I can watch it all over again.

bicuser The finale of Bodies has just aired in the UK and I can say without doubt that this is the most compelling and tense drama to come out of Britain for a very long time. Combining an acting and shooting style both muscular and assured in execution; a brave, gripping, convincing script and appropriately realistic prosthetics, Bodies is hard to beat in its genre. With all the colourless, vapid dross being churned out on British TV nowadays, it seems almost unbelievable that the BBC in its wisdom saw fit to axe it.Max Beesley brings a riveting, pinched intensity in his outstanding portrayal as hard-done-to doc Rob Lake struggling in a sea of incompetence, dishonesty and sheer managerial mediocrity. His central, career-defining role in tandem with oleaginous Dr Whitman (Keith Allen), comely foils Donna Rix (Neve McIntosh), Polly Grey (Tamzin Malleson) and his nemesis, the pusillanimous, dangerous Roger Hurley (Patrick Baladi), provides the viewer with an at times uncomfortable but undeniably unmissable experience.There is no sentiment at work here, no shirking away from numerous, unpalatable aspects of the British NHS or dilution of the viscera involved in child delivery. Bodies is destined to remain a classic TV series; a far cry from the cloying sloppiness and user-friendly mollycoddling of, say, the BBC's Casualty. Closer in concept to ER yet far superior in the sheer quality of the conflict on screen, Bodies packs a bloody punch as a tremendous watching experience which has yet to be unsurpassed in medical drama.Highly. highly recommended.

cass1810-1 This was a fantastic TV programme - completely riveting viewing. The whole cast were brilliantly portrayed and I must say that Max Beesley was someone I was raving about to everyone and was quite astonished that so many people had never heard of the programme - it would be good if it could be shown on BBC1 - I am sure it would attract a great number of viewers if only to see Max Beesley! What a sexy man and such a great actor. I had only known him from being a sessions musician with Robbie Williams and for making a few dubious films but Bodies definitely gave him the standing he deserves. I wish there was a another series in the pipeline - I would be glued to the TV!

gopac79 Excellent and compelling viewing, I don't know how realistic it is as I am not an expert but it is well worth the watch. I have waited in vain for this program to appear on standard terrestrial but to date it has only been shown on digital TV. BBC Three has been coming up with some real nuggets like this but they have mostly been below the radar, with very few of them making a cross over to BBC Two in an attempt to tease the wider public into going digital. This is great drama but has not yet convinced me into making the switch to digital. I normally go over to my mate's house that has got digital TV to watch it. This show was so good that I would make the trek to watch it.I feel that the program would really take off given a wider audience; I think it is a prime candidate for the switch to BBC Two. As well as potential for international export to places like the states and Europe.I like many others are keenly awaiting the beginning of the second season of Bodies, this show is too good not to have a follow up.
