In a crisis reminiscent of biblical proportions, the urgency for specialists who can manipulate reality—often skirting the law—is undeniable.The Lazarus Task Force embodies this necessity, blending elements of a high-octane stunt reel with the intricacies of a cyber heist, all coordinated by a handler with a spark of brilliance.
The initial four episodes introduce a thrilling mix of gunfights, parkour antics, and digital wizardry, allowing viewers to gauge the impact of each team member. The stakes are high—each position within Lazarus is earned through on-screen contributions rather than potential. The team members engage in heart-pounding feats, facing off against fate in a world approaching its limits. Here we present our rankings of the inaugural season’s team members from the Lazarus Task Force.
6 Leland (Drone Pilot, Thief in Training)
Youthful Eyes, Limited Footprint
In the first episode, Leland finds himself skipping school in the wake of Dr. Skinner’s global threat announcement. His drones play a crucial role, gathering intelligence, exploiting weaknesses in enemy defenses, and notably assisting Axel in targeting Dr.909’s escape helicopter. Despite these moments, they feel more like contributions than pivotal achievements.
Dramatic backstories, hinted at through graveyard scenes and whispers of a troubled past, suggest that Leland possesses untapped potential. Yet, his standout ability to operate drones shines only in conjunction with others’ actions. Until more of his complex history comes to the forefront, Leland remains the least essential operative in the Lazarus assembly.
5 Christine (Sharpshooter, Secret Agent)
Friendly Firepower With a Trick Up Her Sleeve
Christine’s bubbly demeanor contrasts with her covert operational expertise. She cleverly integrates herself into the Lazarus team by outsmarting Axel in a hotel bar, marking a pivotal moment for the series. Since her introduction, she has skillfully navigated through high-risk scenarios—from neutralizing adversaries in Arizona to seamlessly blending into elite social gatherings.
While she wields her firearms with finesse, her most dangerous weapon is her gift for social manipulation, allowing her to slip past security as a cleaner or casually breezing through customs. However, this intrigue unravels as her attempts to uncover the Skinner mystery leave her options open-ended, rather than decisive.
Christine holds a mid-tier position within the team, primarily because her most impactful action took place early on. Until she turns a critical shot into a turning point in the overarching story, her role remains supportive.
4 Douglas “Doug” Hadine (Strategist, Ex-Academic)
Calm Math in a Thriller Storm
Doug emerges as the calm, rational voice of the Lazarus team, gracefully navigating through the chaos. He eases Leland’s nerves in tense situations and strategically plots the fastest routes to confront Skinner, grounding frenetic action with his analytical mind. His past as an expelled physics prodigy entwines him with the show’s overarching conspiracy.
Flashbacks reveal a troubling history filled with racial bias and dismantled dreams, adding depth to his stoic demeanor. Doug’s tactical foresight sets the stage, though his contributions have yet to yield significant breakthroughs. Once he decodes Skinner’s biochemical enigma, we anticipate a significant leap in his standing.
3 Hersch Lindemann (Handler, Puppetmaster)
Voltage Bracelets and Velvet Threats
The Lazarus team’s operations hinge entirely on Hersch’s calculations. She orchestrates Axel’s escape from a maximum-security prison, curates an impressive roster of talents, and finances high-stakes operations in the wake of Skinner’s ominous broadcast. Her use of shock bracelets ensures a level of ruthlessness that matches the apocalyptic stakes they face.
Hersch serves as the nerve center, channeling vast amounts of crucial intelligence—including bunker blueprints and account details—while keeping herself strategically distanced from the frontline. The ethical implications of her decisions hover unsettlingly close to those of Skinner’s catastrophic actions.
Her central commanding role, paired with vague moral boundaries, secures her a high ranking within the team. Any revelation concerning her ties to Skinner could dramatically alter the landscape—potentially for better or worse.
2 Eleina “Mad Screamer” (Hacker, Digital Phantom)
Quiet Kid, Loud Code
At a mere fifteen years old, Eleina makes her mark by executing feats far beyond her years. From unveiling Skinner’s face-swapping tactics to draining Dr.909’s crypto assets without a trace, her impressive skills come to light swiftly. By the end of episode four, she secures the task force’s first living suspect, proving her capability without firing a single shot.
Her stark contrast—the shy teen offset by unparalleled tech prowess—captures the attention of her teammates, who refer to her as “the dangerous one.”The show substantiates this belief; while Skinner’s mayhem turns water to wine, Eleina possesses the unique ability to reverse that chaos through her digital acumen.
If Axel represents physical dynamism within Lazarus, Eleina reigns as the master of unseen warfare, with each episode hinging on her indispensable data. Her presence solidifies her as the very backbone of the task force.
1 Axel Gilberto (Field Ace, Chaos Magnet)
Parkour Plus Nerves of Steel
Axel makes his entrance mid-escape, effortlessly scaling prison walls as if they were mere playground equipment. Initially resentful of his forced involvement in Lazarus, he quickly rebrands the international crisis as his next stage to perform audacious stunts—echoing iconic characters like Spike Spiegel. He dives into intense confrontations within bunkers, engages with Skinner’s grandmother in Istanbul, and clings to a helicopter as gunfire lights up the sky.
In a signature moment, Axel jumps from a glass rooftop onto Dr.909’s helicopter, balancing one-handed while taking aim with Leland’s drone assistance. This spectacular move captures a key target and propels the narrative forward in a breathtaking display of his remarkable skills.
Beneath the confident exterior lies a steadfast conviction: no enclosure can confine him, and no challenge is too bizarre. Axel channels Eleina’s intelligence into tangible achievements—broken doors and apprehended foes. Until someone else can seize the narrative’s spotlight, he remains both the vital heartbeat of the team and its most unpredictable element.
