Much as I want to like "Lazarus" I don't. This is a classic case of wasted potential. A strong cast, a potentially engaging story, with a supernatural tie in. It could have worked. Regrettably, the handling and characterisations are badly "off". Firstly this series constantly jumps from scene to scene, leaving a discordant, restless vibe, that never goes away.As a viewer I found it next to impossible to focus and settle into a comfortable rhythm, that would have allowed me to appreciate the unfolding story. Annoying characterisations make things even worse. The main character "Laz", feels more like a psychiatric patient, than a psychiatrist. He's literally all over the map, uttering an incessant series of outbursts, that feel like micro break downs. I quickly came to hate him, growing tired of his relentless histrionics. The only partial counter balance, the calm character of his ghostly father. In summary, shoddy handling and poorly rendered characterisations really ruins what could and should have been, a great murder mystery, series, with an eerie, supernatural vibe. Not recommended.
