lazarus debuted with a strong start, showing that the world- humanity will end because of a drug in 30 days. the serie shows us a group of people doing everything they can to find a man with little to no information left about him, with some high ranking people purposely hiding information because of selfish reasons. i always thought the show's original idea of being very good, if handled right, it could be a masterpiece. but it wasn't. to me it had the same problem as the second season of arcane, too much information with too little time to tell the story the director wanted to tell. i truly enjoyed the serie from the beginning to the end, but i think giving it 24-26 episodes would've fixed a lot of things. it would've given more time to answer questions we'll never have answers to like why was axel in prison or why did he know about hundun for exemple. the characters are great, they work well together, they're undeniably found family, but i think they needed to be more fleshed out.

the ghost assassin's personality disorder was a bit of an easy way out for his character i think, i also would've loved to see more of his past with the amazing special animation they used to show it. axel's past could've been more explained, they couldve shown literally anything since all he said was from his hospital bed, also wtf was he doing in that airport when skinner's suitcase leaked, same for doug? the ending felt a bit anticlimactic to be honest, usually you expect a big battle by the end of a show (which we did with axel VS ghost) but the real 'antagonist' of the show was skinner, but who's gonna fight a blind old man. he decided to die by not making and taking the antidote, he was tired, so very tired of the world not listening to him and his numerous warnings on global warming. he just decided to leave the world as it is and let society deal with the consequences of its actions.

overall good show, i loved it but it couldve been even better if it took its time to properly give each character more time to shine. also the kiss with chris and axel was stupid

Also Doug whenever Axel does something:
