The Lazarus Project (Time Travel show)

[chamber-music]

1st July 2019. A date that George (Pappa Essiedu) can never forget... No matter how hard he tries. Trapped in a loop that keeps returning him to 1 July, he discovers the existence of a secret group known The Lazarus project – a crack team of agents who prevent global catastrophe by resetting time.

Season 1 aired earlier this summer and season 2 has already been renewed. The show is the brainchild of Joe Barton (Giri/Haji).

This is one of the most unexpected twisty shows I've watched recently. You expect a generic guy with a special ability joins super secret team to battle bad guys show but then it takes a total left turn.


A time loop/travel breaking bad meets mission impossible meets the butterfly effect is how I would describe the show.

I caught the first episode. It was okay… But I thought the premise was a tad familiar/derivative. According to stuff I’ve read, however, things get more intriguing as the series progresses. I’ll give it a chance.

The show got picked up by TNT in the U.S and will air this Summer. Premiers on June 4th

Started this last night. First ep was ok, second had me intrigued a lot, third was fantastic. It delves much deeper into the human side of things than equivalent time travel/Groundhog Day type stuff I’ve seen.

Yeah I’ve been watching on TNT and it’s pretty good. I mean nothing really groundbreaking but I’d definitely recommend it to people to watch.

I liked it...

the first season did lay out some very thought provoking ethical / theoretical questions... the way time travel works in it wasn't anything ground breaking (it had some tropes) but, still

I'll be curious to see where else they can take this story, cause they kinda wrote themselves into a (no going back from here {no pun intended}) corner

I tried to watch it... 3 episodes in - i quit. The way the plot was going made me not interested to keep watching it, and it didn't really got me in the first place.

caught up with both seasons over the weekend, really underrated gem of a tv series.
