According to The Guardian, Netflix's new series 'The Body' is a coming-of-age drama set in a Catholic school in 2004. Drawing inspiration from early 2000s teen classics, the show follows a group of schoolgirls who encounter strange, supernatural events following an initiation ritual at an abandoned convent. Guardian critic Rachael Sigee praises the series for its visceral recreation of 2004 nostalgia, including the era's music and fashion, and its exploration of the complexities of adolescence. However, she notes that the pacing can be sluggish and that the male side characters are less compelling than the central female cast.
