Lazarus is a futuristic sci-fi thriller from Cowboy Bebop creator Shinichirō Watanabe. The series is set in 2052, where a deadly drug threatens humanity. A special team is given 30 days to find an antidote.
Visually and audibly, the series is a spectacle: animation by top studio MAPPA, music by Kamasi Washington, and action choreographed by the director of John Wick. The result is stylish, sleek, and captivating.
Yet, there are also drawbacks. The characters are slow to get going, and some action scenes are a bit cluttered. The series relies heavily on the style of Watanabe's earlier work, which some may find less innovative.
