Lazarus: Gripping Thriller with Shocking Horror Twist
In the latest Prime Video thriller, “Harlan Coben’s Lazarus,” we delve into the unsettling realms of death and grief with best-selling author Harlan Coben and BAFTA-winner Danny Brocklehurst at the helm. The show introduces us to Joel “Laz” Lazarus, played brilliantly by Sam Claflin, a forensic psychologist grappling with the suicide of his father, Dr. L (Bill Nighy), which triggers a series of disturbing and unexplainable occurrences. Tied to the unsolved murder of his twin sister, Sutton (Eloise Little), 25 years ago, Laz finds himself entangled in a web of cold cases that threaten to unravel his sanity. This gripping mystery unfolds in a way that keeps viewers guessing until the very end.
As the series kicks off, we find Laz at the psychiatric hospital where he works, getting ready to see his patient, Arlo Jones (Jack Deam), a mentally disturbed serial killer, when he receives a life-changing phone call from his father. Ignoring the call to focus on his patient, Laz soon learns of his father’s tragic death, setting off a chain of events that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
