Harlan Coben’s Lazarus – Prime Video
There are too many silly Harlan Coben thrillers on streaming platforms and this one, despite its enticing cast, proves to be more of the same. Sam Claflin stars as Joel Lazarus, a forensic psychiatrist who returns home after the apparent suicide of his father (Bill Nighy), also a psychiatrist. Things get ludicrously twisty as Joel begins to see things that shouldn’t be there, while an unsolved mystery from his past comes back to haunt him.
