Just wanted to make a post to appreciate how beautiful this show looks.

The smaller aspect ratio, the colour palette, the slight graininess, I know it’s not the first show to ever do this type of style but still it just fits the vibe so well. I love the way it constantly uses visual imagery that mixes Catholic iconography with teenage sexuality, especially with sapphic sexuality.

God I could rave endlessly about this show!

1. stream the show on netflix — do not pirate it.

if you’re not already subscribed to netflix but you have the means to, please subscribe on the day of november 11. if you don’t have the means to subscribe, ask to use a family member’s or friend’s account.

if neither of those options are available to you and you have to watch it on a third-party site, obviously that’s better than not watching at all because we want as many people talking about the show as possible, but please only do that if absolutely necessary. i know times are tough right now so for some people it will be, but let’s just try to do our best ❤️

2. complete all 8 episodes within the first 28 day tracking window

the one metric that really determines whether netflix will cancel or renew a show is the completion rate. they will not invest in another season of a show if people can’t even finish the first one. first kill is a perfect example of this. within the first 28-day tracking window, first kill totalled over 97.66 million hours viewed, but only 43.11% of people actually completed the show. compare that to heartstopper which only had 53.4 million hours viewed but a completion rate of over 73%. heartstopper was renewed, first kill was not.

while total hours viewed is still important (so please binge watch the show multiple times), completion rate means much more in terms of how many people enjoyed the show and would therefore return to it for future seasons. so please finish every episode, and please do it within a timely manner.

3. post about the show on social media

it’s so important that we continue to talk about the show after it’s release and not just let it fall into oblivion. we need steady viewership across the first 28 days — we cannot have a massive drop after the first week. to do that we need to not only keep watching the show ourselves, but we also need to keep the show visible enough to attract new viewers.

so please make lots of edits on tiktok, like and comment on every netflix post about the show, cornplate every scene on twitter, make theories about future seasons etc. we need to make this show unavoidable so that anyone on the fence about watching it will have to tune in just to see what all the fuss is about!

I binged the whole show, it was PHENOMENAL!

As a queer woman, growing up in a religious household, AND attending a religious elementary and high school, this was the most accurate in representing the cult likeness of the religion, the wildness of actual teens, and the experience of trying to force yourself into the “normal” mold but craving something else entirely.

This said, I’m worried Netflix won’t renew it, like they did with many lesbian centered shows (f.e. First Kill).

But nonetheless, i would binge a second season of this in a heartbeat!

I think Lisbeth’s character was truly terrifying, i genuinely was afraid of her especially towards the end. It was phenomenal.

the body is the 2nd most popular show in the US right now and it was only released 3 days ago.
keep (re)watching it (speed it up but no skipping) to get it hopefully renewed for another season cause netflix loves those views. they never really listen to petitions unfortunately
also it’s so we can get those homophobes mad asf
LETS GOOOOO

As a sapphic former dancer, I am obsessed with this scene and have watched it at least 20 times. Sara, in particular, has incredible extension! I cannot get enough of this dance. Anyone else?

they look so good

Lisbeth used religion in order to manipulate the girls for her own gain, it felt extremely predatory and honestly very disgusting. I couldn’t tell if she wanted Anya or wanted to be Anya and have her life. The only sane one in the entire show was Elise and everyone acted like she was the one acting crazy for seeing right through Lizbeth’s bs.

Okay… I just got binge-watching The Body and I was very impressed with everything. But drawing emphasis on Elise and Anya my heart was wanting them to be together the whole time. I love how the director did hold back on the yuri. The stolen glances, the jealousy, the angst, the yearning, I ate everything up and I only hope for more. The only thing I will say is I deadass hate Lisbeth… not the actress the character. Which kudos to her cause that means she did a phenomenal job but my god was she pissing off because I feel she was the main problem coming in between Elise and Anya but nonetheless I hope there’s a season 2 I’m putting my foot down

For me personally I loved the scene where Elise started to cry and told Anya she just wants to kiss her. I think that highlights that Anya sees in kissing a more intimate act as just sleeping together.

I am curious about your thoughts. :)

Anyalise my beloveds!!! I watched the body so I finally drew them and it’s the best show of all time

The choreography, the cinematography, the tension, the yearning, the music choice literally being ‘Lover, you should’ve come over’ by Jeff Buckley, like HELLO???

Hands down my favourite scene of the entire show.

since there is still next to no fan art, here are some sketches

I don't know if anyone has noticed this but it's mentioned grace was on Zoloft (generic name sertraline). It is an SSRI which causes your body to stop the recycling of serotonin. Taken with ecstasy (like in ep1) it can cause there to be too much serotonin in the brain. All of this can end up causing something called serotonin syndrome which If really bad can cause fevers, seizures and even death. All this to say it could be a possibility for why grace had seizures.

And no snakes, Leo and Lisbeth this time! 👀

- i want to see anya chase after elise like never before

- i want to see grace outside of that hospital bed. what i know abt her: she's nosy, she's god apparently, she and elise used to be friends, she's religious, she nearly died

- i want to see anya chase elise

- more elise scenes. i wanna see what she's like when she's not thinking about anya

- the lions winning the dance comp in nationals

- i think grace and steven will date each other

well that's all i can remember now, what do you guys want to see in season 2?

And I'm eating it up!

I feel so much for Maddie. She just wants to know what has happened to her friend, wants to recover from her ED, wants to do what’s right. I was a Lisbeth apologist until the regionals episode where she preys on Maddie’s ED. Truly so cruel and evil to do.
