Suspense and the hint of supernatural combine as Dr Joel Lazarus strives to find the real reason behind the recent death of his father and the the murder of his twin sister that happened in his younger age.
Traumatising him very early in his life, the murder of his sister had scarred Joel deeply and a closure to the incident was all that he could wish for. Alas, the murder remained a mystery as well as the murderer.
But as the forensic psychiatrist in Joel tried to cope with his trauma later in his life, the world once again seemed to unhinge around him with the sudden suicide of his father, Dr L, a practicing psychiatrist of repute and the inspiration for Joel. As the police tried to close his father's death as suicide, the son had his own apprehension. Added to this were dreaded revelations from queer quarters. There seemed to be links to the murder of his sister as well. But as Joel Lazarus approaches the truth by unveiling the layers of mist that surrounds, grim twists await ahead that takes a toll on the mind as well.
With a thrill that can only be felt as the series nears the finale, the disappointing slow pace of the episodes causes a mar to the interesting theme. However, the season offers a few interesting facets. The title corresponding to any particular episode is designed in a sequence of numbers of a college course, thus keeping the essence of psychological drama alive without a hint of what might happen but ensuring that they essentially unfold the subject much like the chapters of a book. The other aspect is the music by Sarah Warne and her directing 'The Windmills of your Mind' cover by Rumer that keeps the theme resonating throughout with the melody that hypnotises with a calmly poignant appeal.
