One of the things we appreciated about the first episode of The Lazarus Project is that writer Joe Barton (Giri/Haji, The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself) doesn’t torture George with dozens of time jumps before being introduced to The Lazarus Project. But what we also appreciate is that the first episode does just enough time jumping to set up what’s really going to happen in the series.
-
What is worth saving? If it’s not your loved ones, then what else is there? “The Lazarus Project” excels with these questions, surpassing its genre with compelling insight that keeps its plot humming.
-
Affirming Joe Barton’s status as one of the best screenwriters in the game, The Lazarus Project is exactly the kind of head-spinning, heart pounding TV that you’ll be left wanting to revisit time and again.
-
It is as gripping, fun and stylish as the acclaimed Giri/Haji, without quite its narrative innovation. But it is stuffed with good performances, knotty problems and is compelling enough to keep even those of us who, much as we may wish otherwise, don’t quite understand what’s going on coming back for more.
-
The Lazarus Project is already one of the most inventive time-travel shows I’ve seen in years. If the first episode doesn’t seem like quite your thing, push on – like Giri/Haji, this show’s something of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
-
While it’s clearly a fun, clever concept that most writers would use for action, “The Lazarus Project” excels by taking its concept very seriously at times too.
