User Reviews

An Updated Western w/Values, an Eye Opener

This western is full of surprises. Followed up by the series with a great plot, keeping you guessing and hanging onto every episode. Robert Urick puts depth into this character bringing this Lazarus to life. The Series was a great success, only ended due to Robert's Poor Health. Lazarus's new lease on life has morals & good family values. If you like Mysteries, Robert Urick or Westerns it's a must see.
