The Lazarus Project—TV Review

  • The Lazarus Project is a very cool show that many scifi fans here would enjoy.

  • All spoiler text in this post is actually extremely mild spoilers.

  • Has a very rationalist-esque tone: characters working to stop…

...global catastrophic risk that the mainstream is totally ignorant of.

  • The scifi premise is simple, but explored very well to create high-stakes drama.

  • Good interweaving of romance-in-thriller & thriller-in-romance plots.

  • Every episode expands the premise, implications, or themes in a interesting way. (In season 1 anyway; i haven’t watched further yet.)

  • It’s my 2nd-favorite scifi thriller in a present-day setting:

  • I rank it below the Matrix but above Everything Everywhere All At Once & the Terminator series.

  • To give you a idea of the tone, it’s also somewhat similar to these:

  • Jason Bourne, Inception, Tenet, The Old Guard (2020).

  • On the intense side—definitely not a relaxing show. Lots of suffering!

  • Best episodes are 1, 2, & 8 (season finale).
