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.

'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.

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.

What a pleasant surprise. A very entertaining sci-fi show about a kind of time travel, something I don't remember seeing before in other shows or movies. All wrapped up with lots of action and twists.

Binged it in 2 days and can't wait for a 2nd season.

I won't waste time talking about acting and lightning, frankly when you enjoy something you just do, and as a sci-fi fan and time traveling shows, this one is just good fun.

It's not perfect but if you read the plot and think, mmm this sounds interesting, should I try it, I think you should, try 2-3 episodes, it's worth the time in mu opinion. And if you don't like it, just press reset, and get you 2 hours back...
