The Lazarus Project

I'm going to make this very short.

Sadly today younger people don't want anything that takes concentration to watch. The reason for this is they want to watch their phones while watching the show. You'll get lost if you do that with a good, intelligent show. So these people stopped watching it because it was too difficult for them to spend time on social media etc. And keep up with what was going on in the show.

That's the way the works us right now so you just have to expect that if you fund a great show you can accept it isn't going to last long. You just have to remember that.

And this was an excellent show.

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.

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.

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.
