    The Lazarus Project transitioned from domestic drama to weird time-travel sci-fi flick to full stunt Mad Max car chase in less than an hour. There was a lot going on here, with western and rom-com the only genres missing, but give it time.

    Though a little under-explained and occasionally simplistic, The Lazarus Project has a bright concept behind it with satisfying bursts of action (think shootouts and international car chases). Essiedu is sweet enough as the upbeat, everyman hero, but time will tell if the show allows him to reach the same heights as he did in the superb I May Destroy You.

    Like all time-travel stories, it’s best not to think about any of this too hard. It’s best, in fact, to concentrate on the excellent performance from Essiedu, who brings out the comedy where he can but also the drama.

Blew thru the first season in a day, can't wait til the second comes out. I enjoyed this thoroughly.… Full Review »
