The Lazarus Project – Episode 1

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: The Lazarus Project – Episode 1
  • IMDb: link

After living through the same six months twice, George (Paapa Essiedu) is recruited into The Lazarus Project, a secret organization that uses time resets to avoid the cataclysmic end of the human race. “Episode 1” takes a little while to get going, first seeing George and his girlfriend (Charly Clive) live out their normal lives and then a second time with George freaking out over deja vu, and finally a third time getting recruited and going to work for Lazarus. There’s a pretty obvious tease to trouble George will get into at the end of the episode, but it certainly sets up some interesting discussions about when and how Lazarus is willing to use its technology and potentially why so many of their former agents have gone rogue including the one currently attempting to start a nuclear holocaust.

A risky play by Congressman Arthur Hudson (Toby Leonard Moore) leads him to a loose thread he begins to pull and allows him to tie Dembe (Hisham Tawfiq), and by association Reddington, to the Task Force as he redoubles his efforts to expose them.

Stargirl – The Complete Third Season

/ / Home Video
  • Title: Stargirl – Season 3
  • wiki: link

It’s a little unfortunate the Stargirl didn’t start a year or two earlier. One of the better shows of the Arrowverse, the show concluded with its third and final season collected here on DVD (but oddly not also available on Blu-ray which both the previous seasons were released on). The season continues the heroic journey of Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger) who is thrown for a loop by the return of the original Starman (Joel McHale) who outwardly attempts to help while sewing descension and uncertainty among the group in hopes of gaining control of the staff.
