4 min read
We liked Our bodies on Netflix, however there are only a few questions we’ve after watching the almost-perfect ending of the present.
Our bodies was undoubtedly a slam dunk from Netflix who managed to hook viewers into this Sci-Fi crime thriller sequence that was barely mind-boggling however in the end a improbable eight-episode restricted sequence. Within the remaining moments of the present, followers have been delighted to see that the detectives on the case from 4 totally different instances have been in a position to efficiently work collectively to shut the time loop.
After watching the present, some puzzled whether or not Netflix’s Our bodies is predicated on a e-book. Some additionally puzzled who Si Spencer was from the present’s tribute. And a few merely puzzled what on earth was occurring as they have been left baffled by the complicated ending that noticed Iris return to 2023.

How did the detectives shut the time loop?
After Iris made the choice to return to 1890 she was in a position to discuss to Hillinghead who in flip sewed a seed of doubt into the thoughts of Sir Julian Harker (aka Elias Mannix) about his future happiness. This then modified the course of Elias’s life within the twentieth century as he ended up married to a depressing Polly Hillinghead who blamed him for her father’s homicide, which means Elias by no means felt liked and regretted his choice to return in time and create the loop.
This led Elias to go away a message for his youthful self on a document so he may change historical past. He handed this document to Whiteman (Weissman) who in flip left it in The Silk, the copper’s pub, for the older Shahara Hasan from 2053 who discovered the document behind an outdated picture on the wall when she returned to the pub in 2023.
Shahara was in a position to play this document to younger Elias simply in time to cease him from detonating the bomb as he realised that he would solely be killing a whole lot of 1000’s of individuals for nothing. This successfully closed the time loop as Elias by no means killed all these individuals and, subsequently by no means returned to the previous to change into his personal great-great-grandfather, so subsequently he by no means existed.
This additionally meant that none of his descendants (akin to his father Jack Barber or his son Hayden Harker) existed, and the long run and previous within the time loop have been completely erased, resetting all the timeline. This implies Shahara from 2053 blipped out of existence in 2023, as did Elias in 2023. This additionally meant Esther survived, as did Hillinghead, and Whiteman who have been proven to have a second shot at life on the finish of the present as they went about their regular day, with out discovering a physique in Longharvest Lane.
This is able to have been the proper ending however for that sneaky plot twist on the finish that none of us noticed coming!

Why was Iris Maplewood within the taxi?
Within the closing moments of the present, Shahara was chatting to her cab driver about the way forward for London and saying that she felt town was on the precipice of change. It was then revealed that Iris Maplewood, the detective from 2053, was her driver and knew her by identify!
As they continued driving a constructing with the acronym KYAL (Know You Are Liked) appeared within the background. And the viewers was left with their mouths hanging open in confusion.

Talking to Cosmopolitan, sequence creator Paul Tomalin defined the curveball on the finish of the present.”The characters have been dropped at an finish,” stated Paul. “However that being stated, if it is a ridiculous hit and persons are storming Netflix [for more], we left that ellipsis simply in case, with a really thrilling concept that does justice to the set-up and develops it additional.”
“What we knew was it might be a disservice to our viewers in the event that they have been going to speculate eight hours of their time, to not clear up this,” he added.
So primarily what meaning is that the detectives did actually efficiently shut the time loop and stopped the bomb killing individuals in London, however the producers wished to go away a slight foot within the door in case they wished to make a second season.
So we did not miss something from the plot! This was simply an extra plot line that might be picked up in a doable season two of the present – if Netflix decides to select up this restricted sequence for a second season.
