Harlan Coben’s Lazarus Delivers 2025’s Best TV Cliffhanger (But There’s a Catch)

While Lazarus is generally engaging, it doesn’t quite stick the landing with every plot point. With so many cliffhangers and twists throughout the six episodes, it was inevitable that some wouldn’t fully work. A weaker twist earlier in the series might have gone unnoticed amidst all the secrets being revealed, and there are plenty of those. However, the two biggest reveals happen at the very end, as you’d expect in a finale. For the final reveal to have a real impact, the first one feels underwhelming, like a disappointing attempt at building suspense. This weakens the show’s overall mystery and its exploration of whether a supernatural presence is truly physical.
