The Lazarus Project
What if you could rewind time?
Produced by Sky Original, “The Lazarus Project” (2022–2023) is a science fiction series about time travel, but it starts from a different premise to the usual stories of this kind. In fact, at least initially (that is, in the first season), it isn’t the characters who travel in time, but it’s time that is rewound, and only some people are able to notice it.
If you haven’t watched it yet, I can’t reveal much without giving away spoilers. I can tell you, though, that if you enjoy stories in which a character finds themselves in increasingly dire situations in a series of escalating dramatic events as they desperately try to achieve something important to them, then this series is definitely for you.
In the second season, then, the perspective changes. A more classic type of time travel comes into play, where it is the characters who travel.
Result?
Time paradoxes everywhere! Paradoxes intertwined with paradoxes. Characters who meet their past and future selves, respectively.
Combine this with the ability to rewind time and the knowledge of what will happen, and we end up with the same events playing out differently over and over again, making things more difficult for the characters.
