The review presents Lazarus as a reflective travelogue that descends into the 'Underworld' of cultural myths, investigating premature deaths of musical and cultural icons. It frames myth as a social construct that returns divinity to humans and praises the series for its self-critical stance on MTV. Specific sites tied to Hendrix, Cobain, Marilyn and Elvis are visited to interrogate the meaning and endurance of myth.
