A man keeps waking up on the same morning, over and over again. Is he going mad? Is he suffering a pesky case of deja vu? Nope, he soon works out that he is somehow stuck in a time loop. Now all he has to do is work out how to escape it.
This isn’t only the plot of the 1993 romcom Groundhog Day. It’s also the jumping-off point for the new Sky Max drama The Lazarus Project. The buzzy and brilliant eight-parter – written by Joe Barton (Giri/Haji) and starring Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You) – follows an app developer called George whose 7am alarm keeps going off on 1 July 2019.
