Pretty much everything Stephen Graham touches turns to TV gold as viewers 'can’t stop watching' the Liverpudlian's latest show.

Paul Tomalin's Bodies is a sci-fi/murder series on Netflix, which follows the story of a suspicious dead body that engulfed in the same spot across three other points in time.

Take a look at the eerie teaser below:

"When a dead body appears in the streets of London, it seems like business as usual for the detective working the case," the synopsis reads.

"Unbeknownst to her, that same victim shows up in the same spot across three other points in time: in 1890, during the Victorian era; 1941, some of Britain’s darkest days of World War II; and 30 years in the future.

"As the investigations converge, they reveal a sinister conspiracy that threatens London."

Bodies is set across four time periods - 1890, 1941, 2023 and 2053 - and is based on a graphic novel from DC Vertigo of the same name.

Graham, who plays evil dictator Mannix, said: “When I heard that [directors] Marco Kreuzpaintner and Haolu Wang were combining to do the series, that sold it for me.

“Writers Paul Tomalin and Danusia Samal did an amazing job of keeping it fresh and exciting.”

And it seems that Bodies is already receiving rave reviews, just one day after its release on 19 October.

While some viewers can't get over Graham's accent, others can't keep their eyes off the screen.

"Not sure what I’m watching but I can’t stop… " wrote on viewer, as another tweeted: "What the hell???? This show is nuts!!!"

"The show Bodies on Netflix is one of the best shows I’ve seen this year," penned a third, while a fourth added: "#bodiesnetflix isn't adding up properly but ngl I'm hooked, hope I don't get dissapointed as I go on."

Someone else said: "Bodies on Netflix was a really good show."

Creator Tomalin has called the show ‘mind-snapping’.

He told Netflix: “It’s a police-procedural show that shifts and transforms from moment to moment, so you never know what’s coming next… This is a kinetic, ambitious thrill ride - a wolf in [a] detective drama’s clothing.”

Alongside Graham, the murder mystery also stars Shira Haas from Unorthodox as investigator DC Iris Maplewood living in 2053; Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (The Queen's Gambit) as Detective Sergeant Charles Whiteman during the 1941 investigation; Amaka Okafor (Greatest Days) as Shahara Hasan, the present day detective sergeant; and Poldark star Kyle Soller as 1890s detective inspector Alfred Hillinghead.
