What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Lazarus moves through sleek fights, chases, and stunts with the urgency of a mission running out of time. Its near-future American backdrop opens onto a global manhunt, mixing animated sci-fi action with the maneuvers of a heist and spy thriller. Frequent violence keeps the danger blunt, while a cool, stylish tone treats possible worldwide catastrophe as a job that still has to get done.

The misfit co-workers trade banter between set pieces, but shifting loyalties complicate the teamwork. Their exchanges give the crew personality without stopping the forward motion of one connected story. Bigger reveals unfold as the hunt progresses, so the danger extends beyond whoever they are chasing to uncertainty about the people working beside them.

Why this pick

Lazarus and Splinter Cell: Deathwatch deliver brisk adult animation where tense missions, sharp fights, and team loyalty keep the danger close.

A Street Kid trying to survive in a technology and body modification-obsessed city of the future. Having everything to lose, he chooses to stay alive by becoming an Edgerunner, a Mercenary outlaw also known as a Cyberpunk.

Why this pick

Lazarus and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners turn near-future danger into kinetic animated action, with vivid worlds and characters trying to stay close as jobs grow more deadly. Lazarus keeps its crew moving through sleek missions and banter, while Edgerunners is grittier and more intimate, with a found family, romance, and a tragic rush toward ruin.
