LAZARUS SYNDROME, THE(1978)
In the set: 100 Greatest Cult Classics


I'm not sure what classified this as a "classic"!
And I'm not sure how in the hell this was ever
made into a TV series! It's very borng, even
though there's some really great actors in it:
E.G. Marshall(The Bold Ones, The Defenders,
Superman II), Louis Gossett Jr.(An Officer
And A Gentleman, Enemy Mine, Roots) & John
de Lancie(Star Trek: TNG, Legend), there's no
real excitement here! Pretty much a straight
medical drama! Not my cup of tea! C

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

Lovable cheat Graeme Souness has just had
himself one of them heart attacks and ends
up under the care of Lou Gossett Jnr (future
star of Bram Stoker's Legend of the Mummy).
Even though there are many clashes at first
between the two (Souness thinks Doctor
Gossett's an arse, but then Lou thinks
Souness is a chug nut) it's clear that
there's a bromance on the horizon.

Y'see Lou's a hard-working cardiologist
with a cheating wife and Souness is cheating
on his own wife and getting Lou to give his
wife the run around. There's rather a lot
of this going on (as well as medical
procedure). Then some sort of plot
eventually emerges involving a drug
fuelled Doctor. It's not that exciting.

I wonder what the show was actually like?
The cheeseball freeze frame at the end
was good, and the acting was okay, but
nothing great. - Bezenby
