The Lazurus Project. Anyone watching this?

I just watched the first episode and I have to say I was mightily impressed. It-was an excellent first episode. They squeezed a lot into it and yet it did not seem rushed. Some excellent effects in it too and the characters seem likable too.

A cliffhanger of an ending too that first episode too. Can not wait to see what happens next and what decision he makes if he can have it his way or not.

Had seen the trailer and that it got good reviews so it's on my radar..

Just that it's a Sky TV show I'm like.. ick 😁 .. their homemade stuff hasn't made a good impression on me in the past

I think you will love this. It really is excellent.

Finished it last night. Really enjoyed it. Plenty of twists and turns, and a really interesting central idea.

Gave up on it after the second episode.

Awe that's a pity. Why?

I am up to the third episode. I could watch them all in one go but do not have the time to be doing that. I am happy watching it weekly.

I don't know, maybe I gave up on it too early.

Might give it a second go.

Some good big ideas in this but there are way too many stupid small things for it to be good.

Worth sticking with though. I also gave up briefly after the 2nd episode.

Only 5 episodes in myself, are we supposed to be on the side of the main character? I can't but hope he ends up dead myself.

The nonsense level rose to a million in the last episode. I would not recommend it to myself.

Lol.

I do agree that after a great first episode it certainly went downhill from there. I thought after George's wife got killed right great premise he turns back time to rescue her and stop the bomb but other things happen instead but no they messed that up. It did not have to be so overly complex.

I felt the same way in regards to the lead character. I couldn't figure out if the show expected us to be rooting for him or not, as he was initially the audience surrogate into the whole crazy world of the show. However, he came across as extremely unlikeable from the start and his insanely selfish choices as the show went on turned him into the villain of the show for me. The guy they were casting as the actual villain ended up being more sympathetic. Its a pity, because the premise of the show held a lot of promise!

I don't know if we are expected to sympathise with George. Archie certainly doesn't and is looking rightly to take him down for what he did.

Just watching the last episode now. I must say the part where George opens the door to his neighbour and says something different is very funny. Also I think George is becoming a seriel killer the amount of times he has killed and wrapped up Shivs body at this stage lol. Maybe not in the classic sense but he is certainly a seriel killer via time.
