THE LAZARUS PROJECT Series Two

▶ UK Sky Max, Wednesdays/streaming on NOW

▶ Creator Joe Barton

▶ Cast Paapa Essiedu, Anjli Mohindra, Caroline Quentin, Charly Clive

EPISODES 2.01-2.08

Joe Barton’s time travel show returns for a second run whose complexly folded narrative at times threatens to make your brain leak out of your ears – and which is almost as compelling as the first.

Perhaps thean organisation who can reset time to a 1 July “checkpoint” – proving that, like Meatloaf, he will do anything for love, engineering the explosion of a nuke to bring girlfriend Sarah back from the dead. Series two’s task: travel back in time (using a time machine) to before the world got stuck in a never-ending loop, and undo it. Save the world, not get the girl, then. The stakes are higher, but also less relatable.
