Girlhood is a divine experience, a period when young women begin to discover who they are and who they might become. From “Under the Bridge” creator Quinn Shephard, Netflix’s teen drama “The Body” is a twisted coming-of-age narrative that pays homage to the 2000s, specifically films like “Bring It On,” “Jennifer’s Body” and “Mean Girls.” While those movies dealt in subtext, this series is deliciously and unapologetically queer, with one young woman standing firm in who she is while the other is frozen in denial. Set at a Catholic high school somewhere in the Northeast, “The Body” is a raunchy, campy show about friendship, desire, identity and belief systems.
