The Lazarus Project

Starts out as a fairly straightforward time-travel romp and slowly unpeels its characters to become an intense, brilliantly written and acted story of good people twisted and broken by the burden of a world saving power.

Being an SF fan for over 50 years, I found this to be up there with the best of them.

Yes, it's not perfect and has some flaws in some of the acting and storytelling about how people are recruited etc. But, for a well thought out, keep you guessing sci fi, particularly Season 2, do not miss this one.

The story line was meticulously planned to last over the first 2 series and although some of the first series was a little drawn out, it is for that exact reason that all else revolves around, from, to and branching from the initial story that gets you truly involved.

Unlike many other series that no matter how good, get cancelled and leave you frustrated, you find that even if it stops at the end of Series 2, there was a type of closure letting you sit in in a euphoric understanding of the story, that even if no more are made, you are left content but longing for more.

(PLEASE let there be more!) IMHO, take no heed from those that rubbish this fine production, particularly those that choose to call themselves "expert reviewers" I have usually found them to be so full of it that I take no notice of them.

The series is a bit "Tenet" and quite interesting. The Lazarus Project has some forgivable continuity flaws, but it's a good TV series that mixes old time travel ideas from The End of Eternity, Groundhog Day, and The Adjustment Bureau. Despite the lack of temporal logic: "mutants" can revive months side by side with normal agents (non-mutants who cannot revive months), although they can use a special drug to remember, which ends up causing a certain exponential unsustainability, because instead to go back in time, they would actually be creating multiverses. But time travel is just that, travel of the imagination.

'The Lazarus Project', a group of secret government agents tasked with stopping extinction-level events in the world, recruit their newest member - an app developer named George (Paapa Essiedu). Using a type of serum, average humans, such as the leader, Wes (Caroline Quentin), and fellow agent, Archie (Anjli Mohindra), can recall "Time Loops" - a cosmic event that resets the universe back to July 1st. Upon reset, those who have taken the serum, and certain mutants, like George, can remember everything prior to the reset.

Without giving too much away on an episode-by-episode basis, this show is quite entertaining to watch! The special effects, acting, writing, and flow are all very well done. There are some open plot holes that I hope will be addressed in the following season(s), but overall, a fresh idea on time travel!

Worth a watch!

Wow, I binged this one. I was dubious at first, the first episode was interesting but I wasn't completely sure. After episode three though, I was really enjoying it, and from that point all I can say is that it really builds well. The tone and momentum really gets you hooked. I watched it all in one sitting and now I'm waiting desperately for the next season!

REALLY enjoyable and worth biting into.

9/10 for me.
