## Key points

- “The Body” keeps God’s reality deliberately uncertain.
- Grace wakes from a coma as Anya confesses.
- The drama explores faith, guilt and queer desire.

## Summary

Netflix drama “The Body” leaves open whether its apparent miracles have a supernatural cause, using that uncertainty to explore faith and its place in the lives of young, sometimes queer women. Creator Quinn Shephard says defining God would undermine the show’s aim of reflecting the range of belief, including doubt.

After dance-team member Grace collapses following a Halloween party where she was pressured to take Ecstasy, Anya and Lisbeth hide her apparent death; Grace later breathes but remains in a coma. The team’s guilt and rivalries feed a town-wide belief that Grace can heal people, until she wakes as Anya is confessing what happened and whispers, “I’m God.” The story also follows the romantic tension between co-captains Anya and Elise, while Anya insists she is straight.
