Lazarus has built a real following in the US on HBO Max Amazon Channel and YouTube TV among viewers who want their sci-fi to think as hard as it looks. A compact run that never overstays its welcome. 123 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Mamoru Miyano's performance is the anchor the more ambitious scenes need. Start it on HBO Max Amazon Channel whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Lazarus earns its spot. The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry Lazarus through its more ambitious moments. In 2052, a Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist develops a drug called Hapna — a cure-all that has the unexpected side-effect of causing death three years later. In response to this threat, a special force of agents—nicknamed "Lazarus"— is assembled to take on the malevolent Skinner. Mamoru Miyano and Makoto Furukawa lead a cast that keeps the bigger ideas grounded in something human. Lazarus premiered in 2025. The rules of Lazarus's world are consistent enough that the big swings never feel like cheating. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

Sci-fi fans who want ideas alongside the spectacle will find Lazarus genuinely rewarding. If you have already watched Trese, Lazarus is a natural next step. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Watch for Mamoru Miyano in particular — the performance elevates the material. Satisfying on multiple levels.

Lazarus wrapped up in 2025, created by Shinichiro Watanabe — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
