    • Trivia
      In the interview "Seeing the Blossom", Dennis Potter comments that he wrote "Cold Lazarus" and its prequel "Karaoke" based on the simple writer's premise: "If you wanted to make the world a better place, who would you kill?"
    • Goofs
      When Dr. Glazunov destroys Daniel Feeld's frozen head at the end, the wall screen still displays his voyage through the tunnel of light to heaven, despite not being plugged into anything any more.

      David Siltz: Harry, do you have to be so fucking vulgar all the time?

    10/10
    An excellent Sci-fi story of a future to come
    This story is a very good story in itself and if you've seen the story (behind Lazarus) you will get even more out of the serie. I enjoyed this "realistic" sci-fi stuff more than most of the hollywood style bang-boom-big explosion kind of action sci-fi.

    But I must warn you, if you hate each and every drama movie, go watch something else. All other people should watch this one.
