Time travel is a concept that often brings about consequences and ethical dilemmas, and The Lazarus Project delves into these themes in a unique way. Originally released in the United Kingdom in 2022, the series has now made its way to the United States, captivating American viewers with the story of George, an app developer portrayed by Paapa Essiedu from I May Destroy You. As George starts experiencing peculiar instances of deja vu, he becomes entangled in The Lazarus Project, an organization dedicated to utilizing time travel to prevent the impending end of the world.
However, George's newfound profession quickly leads to personal tragedy, as he tragically loses his girlfriend in the premiere of The Lazarus Project. Amidst the shock and grief, George's team also faces a formidable adversary in the form of Dennis Rebrov, played by Tom Burke. Dennis, a rogue agent, becomes disillusioned with the secret group's god-like control and attempts to coerce them into allowing the apocalypse to unfold naturally. Throughout their shared experiences of loss, George and Dennis form a bond, teetering dangerously close to George's own descent into rogue behavior, as he desperately seeks to save his beloved Sarah, portrayed by Charly Clive.
