Despite my grievances with the rest of the first season, the finale does a really great job of playing with time in an inventive manner, cleverly constructing a mystery which sets up the premise for a second series, should it be granted & given the go-ahead.
Hence, this is undeniably an incomplete narrative & definitely feels like a part 1 but irrespective of that, the execution of the concept is engaging & satisfying so I've no complaints with how the plot develops - even if the eventual pay-off does rely upon an uncertain presumption that the show will continue. Just think of this as a teaser for what's to come in the future, which ironically ventures in to the past. Therefore, although I haven't enjoyed "The Lazarus Project" as much as I'd hoped to - in general - I can certainly appreciate it has its moments & Joe Barton has succeeded in creating a brilliantly subversive installment to end on - going out with a high, flaunting his abilities when he performs at his best as a storyteller.
