Critic Reviews

Radio Times Huw Fullerton

Dec 7, 2022

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. Read full review

The Guardian Lucy Mangan

Dec 7, 2022

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.

Empire Jordan King

Dec 7, 2022

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. Read full review

The Playlist Brian Tallerico

May 26, 2023

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. Read full review

The Telegraph Anita Singh

Dec 7, 2022

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. Read full review

The Independent Nicole Vassell

Dec 7, 2022

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. Read full review

The Times Carol Midgley

Dec 7, 2022

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. Read full review
