-
Lazarus is far from faultless and all too easily falls into the “watchable but forgettable” genre that nearly all Coben-verse shows fall into.
-
It’s unlikely to win over any Harlan haters, but for those of us with a soft spot for his particular brand of larger-than-life mysteries, it’s incredibly moreish.
-
It’s a mess but, like the famous Eton pudding, hard to resist.
-
The range of performance is all over the place, only to be matched by random acts of violence that, when paired together, infer this series is more interested in shock value than good storytelling.
-
The show reveals motives and suspects come out of crevices that feel so engineered to surprise you that they often stop making sense, losing the supernatural edge that initially set it apart from even other Coben properties.
-
It’s a dour drama with a touch of the supernatural, and getting through all six episodes is a slog.
-
Lazarus is woefully badly paced and deeply repetitive: characters tell each other things we have just seen, many, many times, and tread endlessly over old ground to stretch the thing to the mandated six episodes (there are flashbacks to flashbacks). Altogether this is thin, thin stuff.
-
The season ends on a note that tees up a potential sequel, but with these six episodes proving to such an unsatisfying watch, I'll be plain: there really is no need for any more.
